Can you do leg exercises with these bands?

Absolutely! All kinds of leg exercises! They're the best - I truly love mine

You can always purchase different bands but I believe you will be satisfied with the bands that come on the chair for a long time. The instructor on the DVD shows different ways of moving your legs and/or arms so that you can increase the resistance. I think that will keep you happy for a long time before you will want to purchase stronger bands. I am 62. I do two of the exercise sessions in a row. I love this chair. I feels really great. Margie

I do squats with it. But any other leg workout it will bind up and you can not get a full range of motion.

I don't see why not. These bands are made of a waterproof material, and should behave just like they do out of the water. I would feel fine using these in water.

Yes, it is possible to tie a knot using the bands to temporarily shorten them for specific exercises... and doing so will not damage them. But, the knot will tighten with each pull and stretch making it very difficult to loosen it... and struggling to do so, will stress the elastic... That will, eventually, cause damage to the elastic bands.

I'm not sure. I would think that if you did, that over time the bands would eventually dry out and break. They are definitely worth buying. Maybe you can purchase 2 sets and try one in water. Good luck!

It depends on the resistance you select. Most importantly, you will tone your leg if you follow the instructions.

I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

Yes you can, as long as you are not a restless sleeper. They are a bit cumbersome and can make your legs sweat.

No, but you can pull up arm and leg exercises on the internet. I think you will find it very exercise friendly. The piece in the back of the chair is to keep you setting correctly with good posture. I find this very helpful.

Most definitely. No reason why you couldn't do curls or shoulder presses as you don't need a ton of space. These bands are the best I've ever used.

I use these bands for resistance training in my aerobic classes. I loop two of them together and use them for arms and legs. They have the perfect amount of resistance. I do not use them for office purposes so my feedback may not help you.

With the hand straps attached the bands are 5 feet long. So you can use it by one end in each hand and use your foot as the attachment point, meaning the band goes under your foot and your stretch the ends with your hands. This is pretty common and will work fine for you. You can also use them by attaching one end to something stationary that will hold the force you apply to it. I use mine by attaching one end to my very heavy elliptical machine. To get more resistance just add more bands together. Hope this helps.

You can do the workouts without any extra equipment-- the bands/dumbbells add extra resistance (if you are ready for asylum, get the bands). While dumbbells can be substituted for many of the moves, the bands are also used for leg resistance, which you cannot get from a dumbbell (ie, standing on the band and doing the 'splits' in the air while making an 'x' with your arms-- working your arms and legs). Also, it's hard to jump rope in my living room, so I just pretend to jump rope. As long as you focus on your form, you'll be fine. Have fun-- it's a great, effective workout!

I've never actually tried but I don't see why not. The strap is long enough to allow you to tone your lower thigh.

Hello these are not made for aquatic exercises. I am sure tho it can be done but the fabric might stretch after this kind is repeated use. It's all about the fabric other than that it is a good product as my wife, daughter and I use it. God bless

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.
