Yes, I have one too!
I bough the toughest one so obviously I can't use it. It feels like pulling at a wall. I tried it with my legs, desperate to find anything to hang it from, which I did, and then I had such a cramp that I thought I would make myself some tea and reconsider this band. I should get a lighter one. But I will continue with this one until it works. The silly thing is it's freakishly long. So my tip is: don't buy ones that are too long 😊

Or, you can make the long one work to your advantage. Tied to a stationary object (I use a newel post) I can grab one end in each and and pull in a rowing motion. Or make a loop, slip both feet in and "walk" away (rather like walking in loose sand or wading in water)
