Is 4 feet long enough for one adult practice at home?

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.

yes please note that it is not a sturdy /heavy Barre you may have to secure it under something for support Enjoy your workout!

It depends on how tall you are. You want to be able to lift your leg straight out to the side and back when holding onto the bar with one hand as the bar is on your side or both hands as the bar is in front of you..

from the closed position to a width of no more then 3-4 inches (for safety)

I don't think so, unless you have a very big room. I also don't think it's much of a challenge for a four year old. I bought this for my 4 year old twin grandchildren and they barely used it.

It should be about perfect for you. Even if you can't quite get it, you will after a couple of sessions. My 10 year old son led for a few days but eventually was able to fully draw back the arrow. They are just shy of 28" in length.

You definitely need the 4 ft. It doesn't hurt anything to have the extra length. You can either cut the extra length and burn the end to prevent it from unraveling, or fold and tuck the extra length under the velcro.

62 inches. Long enough unless you are going to use it in a cathedral. In fact for a number of exercises, I shorten the working length. Please see my review for its indications, advantages, and limitations.I highly recommend it for assisted passive exercises and rehab following surgery or injury.

Yes, I use it indoors. It is long-18 ft, so you need enough room for it but if you do it works perfectly indoors. I have a very small dog so we have no problems, without weighing it down don't know if a big dog might move it around too much? I love how easy it is to compress and secure after we use it. Takes less than a minute to stow away. Great value for home practice, we love it.

I would think that an adult should not have a problem with draw length. With that said a shorter adult would need to compensate a shorter draw length with strength to pull up higher.

Yes, it can certainly accommodate an adult, and they actually are easier to use and catch waves with than a boogie board. But....they never seem to last too long. A couple of uses and it springs a leak...always happens.

Only with a lap board...the 4 feet would hurt your legs very quickly !! But on a table...it's terrific !

Your most likely too far away from your subject. You need to be within about 1 inch.

My wife is 5'4 and comfortably uses this every day. Make sure the dimensions work for you, but yes this is intended for adults.

not much at all. you can adjust the length/height, and you could play it in a small room in the house (if not for the windows!) Perhaps ten feet?

I think its 5_foot. It should be long enough to do what you want to do with it.

The Indoor Exercise bike called The ProForm SPX is good for 6 feet 4 inch people, and even taller. It is a great Purchase; so, Go For It! You will be happy with the purchase.

It has been designed to be used as an 8 ft unit......if you want something shorter then look at the 4 ft version.

The beauty of this piece is that it is adjustable and you can place it anywhere, however as an ergo specialist I caution you about the distance. Good practice is not closer that 14 inches and not further than 24 inches.
