Abstract

Floatable chair devices, apparatus, systems and methods of using the chair having buoyant material in the headrest as well as the arm rests to provide for a stable floatation platform that would suspend the user to “lounge” or relax or engage in various exercises. The chair can be adjusted by moveable and extendable outrigger floats and/or a head rest, Parallel sideway extending gripping handles can provide the ability to maintain control of the chair and prevent the user from drifting out of the chair during various rigorous exercises. The seat can incorporate unique features to hold the user in place to facilitate the various exercise and prevent “drift” out of the chair yet not secure the individual to the seat in a way that would prevent rapid separation from the device in case of capsize or a compromised position that could increase the risk of drowning. The chair can be easily maneuvered around a swimming pool by kicking with the legs or propelled forward or backward by arm movements. The chair can include a molded back and torso section to the seat to optimize range of motion of the upper extremities and in the lower seat portion of the chair range of motion of the lower extremities. Additional resistance elements, such as but not limited to weighted bands and elongated resistance bands can be used. Methods of doing exercises in one's legs, arms, stomach, and the like, can be used.
