is it good for putting your leg on and lean

I would say it is really depends on your weight. I think it should be good for 120lbs or lighter, but it is indeed a little bit light for heavy people---- like me. My daughter is just 7, she is loving it. :)

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.

It's far from the "fixed to the wall" barre in dance studios as well as the bars that aid the handicapped who need to put their full weight upon it in order to maneuver up and down. That being said, if you distribute your weight pressing down perpendicular to the floor, you should be fine. Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaning with an extremely angled trajectory.

It may not have enough weight to keep from slipping depending on the type of activity. It may be fine for small area practice and stretching. It may not befirm enough for say a hand stand and various moves from that position.

I would start out slowly and only invert about 65%. it takes almost a month to get oriented to it. The boots help take the pressure off the legs.It does help my back and doing the stretches as you do it seems to be a big benefit as well.

Absolutely. We got it to help with our balance, and it's quite good for that. Comes with some exercise suggestions.

No. A better idea for you might to buy some bun feet and screw them on:http://www.tablelegs.com/Bun-Feet.aspx and http://www.tablelegs.com/JoineryOptions/BunFootHardwareService.aspx Whatever you do, don't rely on "balancing" your legs with no joining. At the worst possible moment,a leg could tip off!

I don't think so, you need the use of your legs here, just bending over will not give you the same results.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

Yes, It will help you if you have flat feet. You should give a try. Thank you for your interest.

Yes. You can also set the bottom third portion to angle down to the ground so that when you're on your back, your legs can naturally bend at the knee. The chair has several positions.

I think so. I'm 190 and it doesn't flex much under my weight. It feels pretty solid.

Absolutely! It gives enough cushioning unlike the ridiculously thin Yoga mats, yet it allows you to do standing poses. Another plus is it's good for folks like my husband who has very long legs. This is the Best mat I've ever had.

Yes. Where you put your feet may not be but I think it is. It is rough so your feet won't slip. I really like it. I have a bad back.. It moves and that is important. It isn't very heavy. I don't know what else one could be made from that would be as good.

This foot cushion is pretty firm. But I'm not sure if you want to put your weight on it because it will take you out of balance. If you just wish to rest one leg then it should be ok. Good luck.

it's not really designed to lean against although I do for short periods. There are some excercises that come with the chair and I think it is used in a couple of those.

No, this is really built for storage. There is nowhere to put your legs comfortably. Also, the side legs are detachable and I would imagine that you could knock them away easily with your knees if you had them under the side. This is also narrow and built to be an island for storage or food prep.

No. It's best for stretching and ballet balance. Even then I used some sand bags to stabilize it further. Over all I love it and it was perfect for me. Hope this helps.

It is. However, I would not get this one. The legs are unstable and my husband tightened them several times during the six weeks I needed it and to no avail. I am about 165, so well within the weight limit.
