Not quite what I expected
If you look at the picture, it appears that the loops almost completely come around close to the center with rounded edges. This is not the case. The loops are much shorter, with the rod stopping about half-way to the hinge. They are too too long for me and are very uncomfortable with the squared corners. The padding is also insufficient and the hinge is fairly loose, so does not provide nearly the difficulty it should to be beneficial.Overall, a very disappointing product, although it does work. If you were quite new to exercise and needed little resistance and were at least about 5'8", it might work alright, but you would soon exercise past it's usefulness and need something sturdier.
