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.

I use my legs. The hanlde does work, but I figure less wear and tear. Hope this helps.

Probably. It does help hold them up but if they are not assisting/trying to swim, or someone holding them, they will tip forward. I love it for a 2.5 y/o learning to swim.

Yes, it will also increase flexibility in your calves, plantar fasciitis, and balance.

No! this product is too flimsy. The leg are very weak. Lasted 4 day from normal use.

I am someone who has not done much physical activity over the past few years. Based on this, I would have to say yes, and the tension adjustment ability helps quite nicely

I am not 100% sure - I jump rope outside. It should help some. It is pretty dense - in a good way.

you're sitting and using core and thigh muscles; as previously answered, it also helps with posture. Balance may be another issue, unless one's balance is so bad, you'd have trouble sitting and pushing back and forward as required. For the "standing-on-one-leg" balance - doubt it. Great exercise, though.

No. It is very difficult to get on this chair float and I find it very disappointing - so much so I don't use it. It is nowhere near as good as others I have owned.

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 do leg lifts and in pool. do not know your physical fitness level. Unless wearing knee brace bad on knees

i use it for insanity and its great! It helps your feet get a good grip. I recommend buying a yoga mat, its not as soft and they will complement each other

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.

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 Lazarus Trivillage.com

It can be, but more to promote circulation and compression in the lower leg.

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.

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
