I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs. I'm an adult but need to stretch for figure skating. I was wondering (since a lot of teens are the same size) if this would work

I'm 5' 3" and I use the Flex Jr. and it works fine. To the extent that you'll have any problem at all, it will with the loop to put your foot in. It's really designed for a youth sized foot. That said, I have a small foot so I don't have a problem but I do have to wiggle my foot into the open loop. Regardless, I think the Flex Jr. works great and I use it and find it beneficial!

Yes, I think this would work for you. My daughter is the same height and it works great for her.

When I got this for my daughter she was 5'1 - she is now 5'6. She has had no issues using this as she has grown. I hope this helps.

Yes your height would not impact the function of this device. Your stretch range is based on the length you determine and is based at the top of the choosen door you use

I would say yes. There is enough flex and stretch on these to accommodate slight size variations. Mine look a little stretched, but they still get the job done. They seem durable and won't rip right away. I'm sure they will after time and use, but that's expected.

I would say so ... There is plenty of extra slack on mine and I have normal size legs for an athlete. Plus they stretch and give alittle

My forearm is very skinny and it fits fine and I put it on my nephew's forearm and it fit too and he's 6. Only someone very fat or very muscular would have a problem putting this on. It feels tight at first depending on the size of your arm but I think it's stretches cause now it's not so tight at all.

Hi there, It feels as though it would fit an adult. It fits me and I am 5'5, medium built...really does ice the arm very nicely in comparison to other wraps as it also gets the elbow and shoulder. Also, unlike other formats where you have to insert ice packs in, this one is a gelled slip in sleeve that you never have to do anything to other than just pop in freezer. It's been great so far and at a terrific price too! Good luck!!

Yes, it would fit a thin adult. Not so sure about children. It has a pretty large range.

There should be no reason why not, however, I never did because I purchased these as training skates for balance and to help my 4yr old granddaughter feel more comfortable on the ice... not for long distance skating... just to make sure she didn't hurt her ankles so early in the learning process... Happy to report she now runs on the ice, no longer needs to hold mommy's hand and this year is graduating to single blade skates!

I don't know how well it would fit really young children. however, i've got pretty thin legs... so surely it would work for teens. For younger kids.. ESPECIALLY due to their developing joints... i'd go with a skateboard kneepad for most applications. you want to protect those developing joints for sure.

You're right on the border line. You would technically be fine, but might not feel 100% comfortable. It's really great for kids and preteens. I am 5'3" and 130 lbs and am more comfortable the next size up, since we have both.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

I would not recommend this for adult use unless you are very small. The material is not as heavy as the commercial grade bounce houses you see at carnivals, etc. I am 5'2" and about 115 lbs. I could probably get away with it, but the maximum recommended weight per jumper is 100 lbs.

Adults can use it just fine - my husband and I do. However, you do have to keep it quite taut with heavier folk because the line can sink down to the support base. I'm 140 lbs and my husband is 195. The challenge is still HUGE to keep your balance even when taut so I'm sure I'm getting a core workout with it. We love it.

I have a size 14-15 shoe depending on the brand and its too small for me. When I have a shoe on it doesnt fit in the heel, and trying to push it backwards with my ankle produces no stretch. Without the shoe the upper calf stretch feels very uncomfortable on the heel and I still can't get it to push back far enough to stretch. Im going to do a little more reading about the exercises and see if Im using it wrong though, but this has been my experience.

It will work,but might b a little snug.it does stretch.I guess it depends on how loose or tight u need it.Overall a good brace though.

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.

Depends. I'm not a ballet student and use the barre for stretching to classical music and dvds including basic ballet warm-ups moves. I'm not using it for any cardio-burn-your-fat sort of stuff--simply slower movements. This barre is good for me at 4 feet long with the 2 barres set at 30" and 40" high (the latter about waist high). A 3' long barre would work for me as well. If someone is stretching their entire leg out and she is taller then my 5'4", she may find it a little short because I can stand at one end, facing it, and hold onto the barre, place an outstretched, straight leg on either barre, and my leg just fits. This is a lightweight barre--I can move it around the room with one hand--and is not for pulling on or sitting on (not that we would sit on it, of course). I love mine because it is easy to move, is adjustable, stores by disassembling, and is nice for balance and posture work if not full-weight support. Before this barre, I was using furniture that was wobbly and none too sturdy not to mention the threat of books possibly toppling onto my head. Everyday I find new ways to adapt this barre to my needs and I think you might be able to as well if you remember it is not bolted down and to be careful. Perhaps weighted bags on the feet might help to hold it better in place as I have seen on free-standing barres in ballet classes.
