Is it good for helping improve leg floating?

These are not really thick enough to add floatation. I use them for splash protection and have only been in the water with them a couple of times but have not noticed any added floatation.

No. There is no difference except it keeps the legs warmer in chilly water.

Nope, no floatation value, but very little weight/drag either. They do a good job of blocking wind and keeping a chill away. You will need something more high tech for that.

Think of this item as a see-saw - you may either point it downward like " \ " towards legs or upwards " / " or parallel to floor based of how and where you position your legs on this. Although there is a height adjustment. I find it useful for me as I am 5.1" and gives me the extra support or height adjustment for my legs when I sit at my desk. Occasionally because of see-saw movement I can do leg exercises. Hope that helps

I don't know if this will help for sure, but I actually had trouble using it because I have shorter legs! Your feet might hang off the end, but you almost certainly won't have a problem in the bum-to-knee area, because that's the part that I had issues with since I have shorter or more average-length thighs.

I went to physical therapy in the pool and learn different types of movements under water to strengthen my neck. The paddles open and close for more or less resistance. Doing water exercise helps keep the weight off the bad joints and slowly strengthen them.

Not sure I understand the question. There are no built-in leg stabilizers and what board are you referencing?

I use this to stretch (leg up, fold over, chest to thigh) and practice barre on. I don't have any issues with it. You can adjust the bottom part by moving it forward or backward depending on how you'll be using it and where your weight will be distributed, this can help if you feel it's unstable.

Yes, it's lightweight and fairly comfortable so you won't feel to restricted. But is definitely enough to help you float if necessary.

I don't know. I am 190 and it's fine with me. Being in the water I don't think we weigh as much and when you put your arms out to the side I think it will also help you float. I would give it a try.

Pamela, In the same manner that a life preserver would keep you afloat, this belt would also keep you afloat. It is intended to be used when doing aqua aerobic type exercises. If your goal is to do aqua aerobic exercises (i.e. float on your stomach or your back while kicking your legs or doing arm exercises), this would be a good piece of equipment for you.Have a good weekend.Sincerely,Roy LazarusTrivillage.com

I had an ankle fusion done, and at a slow rate it has helped with my balance. My husband uses it at an increased rate of 16, and gets quite a deal of benefit for his sciatica as well as lower back problems. We are both 66 years old, so we only use it 5 minutes at a time, but we use it daily. I hope this helps you. Kathy and Ed

You can use it, but you will have to use the 'assist' to tilt your body at more of an angle. So you would be keeping your legs straight and body straight but your body will be at more of a 45° angle. The only problem I see with this is that you are not working the same muscles. I guess you could put it on your ankle, make it really tight and keep your knees bent during the pull up. You would use your leg muscles a bit to properly benefit from the assist. As I have never tried this I do not know how it would work.Hope this helps.

Hi. Absolutely! This product really is amazing. Good for feet, legs etc... The balls are adjustable. I recommend trying out the different spacing because it really makes all the difference.

This would be good, as long as the height difference is only an inch or so. Much more than that you tend to glide back to the lower side.

Yes I think so. Really give the legs a workout. I felt the fit was good and comfortable.

You can. It is supposed to help conform to your ankle better. I have used a cam walker and this one but I found I did not use the pump. Some may say it helped them but it did not do much for me.

It 's not real hard, enough for support and not leave any impression on cushion after taking my legs off of it, after all its for support. :) maybe a comparison to those swim noodles, (made of foam) not really hard, but can still float and not hurt when your hit with it. if this helps some.

Pillows slip and slide and they sink with the weight of your leg or legs. With this your legs stay at the elevated angle you need with very minimal sinking. I have used both and I prefer this and so did my husband after his knee surgery.
