Band seems to short for me

I am using the Kinect version of Sport Active and I was trying to do one of the exercises that requires the band but it seems to short for me. I'm 6 feet 2 inches. It seemed like I would snap it if I stretched it that much. Am I supposed to stretch it that much or do I need a longer band?|||I am not as tall as you, just 1.76 m.
But I dont like the band. I suggest you using weights.
I started wit 2.5 kg (per hand) which seems similat to the original band.
Now I changed to 5 kg which is quite interesting.
There is just 1 exercise where you need the band, but its just 2-3 times at the start of the 9 week program
|||Thanks. I'll see if I can find some used weights from a shop somewhere.|||There are band kits with three strengths (or cords that stretch) that I find work better than the one given. I'm 5'11" and I actually haven to shorten them a bit (but not much) so that might also work for you. More portable. Walmart does have weights that you can adjust for more flexibility on what you're lifting.|||You can also buy different bands. Look for Terra bands or Pilates bands on Amazon.
They do come in different strengths
