  1. I take my WearBands everywhere with me. Weighing less than a pound, I have never used anything that provides as much challenge in such a lightweight package. And I am not restricted to any particular type of workout. i can do ANYTHING while wearing it, so i continue to do the workouts I love, I just get more out of them. I have even taken it out of my carry-on during a delay at the airport for a quick workout!
