American Lifetime Slide Board - Workout Board for Fitness Training and Therapy with Shoe Booties and Carrying Bag Included - Black/White/Blue, 6/7.5 Feet 6 Feet

I bought the slide board to help strengthen my legs for cycling to be honest and use it when the weather really doesn't allow you to get out on the road - living in England, it will be used quite a lot. The board itself turned up 5 days ahead of its scheduled delivery date which was pleasing, in a smaller than expected box, neatly packed in the travel bag but ready to use. When I first unrolled the board the ends were slightly curled down, which is to be expected but after a few uses it soon flattened out and is now perfectly flat. The board allows me to do exactly what I bought it for, which is to perform a squat at the end of each slide on 'that side' leg and then push up and off into the slide to the other side etc etc. Not only does it work every muscle from your glutes all the way down to your toes, the slide board provides a fantastic cardio workout. The board itself seems well made - the stopping blocks are big enough to do their job without being over bearing - the sliding area has a good balance of slip and resistance when using the provided 'booties' to perform a controlled slide without slipping over. The anti slip rubber underside, when used on wood flooring or tiles, holds the slide board in position perfectly without any sidewards movement. In short, it does exactly what it says it does, plus you can take it anywhere. I would recommend this to any one who wishes to exercise their body from the hips down.

My son and i are using this as cardio excercise and to help strengthen and lengthen our skating strides. Good product. Works great. Convenient carrying bag.

The slide board came in a well packaged box with a pouch to store the board. I do like how compact it is and the pouch is great for saving space. The slide board expands on the floor and at first it was too rolled up for it stay completely flat. However over time it flatten itself out. I was impressed on the quality of the slide board. I felt it was well made and I had a lot of fun trying out new workouts. I thought this was a perfect alternative when I am too lazy to go to the gym. It comes with 2 sliding socks that you wear over your sneakers. It is a tough workout when you are doing fast paced slides especially my calves and quads. The slide board is perfect if your room is small. You just need a small area to place it down and it rolls up when you are not using it. There are lots of helpful youtube videos you can use to learn new workouts. Overall I was very pleased with this slide board. The board was pretty slippery initially but I gradually got used to it. There are plastic bumpers on each ends to make sure you do not slide off the board. I had a lot of fun using it and the workouts were less boring to do.

This is a great item on its own or as an addition to another exercise routine. It is perfect for low impact exercise. I now use it to take a break from the treadmill and stationary bike and it fits in perfect! I won’t go into great detail about the muscle groups, but if you have ever skated you get the idea. It definitely works different muscles than the two machines I mentioned above. As far as the board and booties go, they are great quality and work much better than I expected. I was skeptical about a compact “travel” exercise board, but this item exceeded my expectations. It took a little getting used to because the board is definitely slippery, but once I got the hang of it the exercises went well. It also took a couple of tries to roll it back up, but once I got the knack it was much easier the second time. The instruction booklet gives you some basic exercises that are pretty standard, but you can search YouTube for more in-depth instructional videos. Overall, this is a great item for those looking to practice some skating skills, get into a low impact exercise, or add to their current routine. The bonus being that it is very portable and it “sticks” well to hardwood and carpet (I have both). My only complaint is that it was supposed to come with bonus “gifts” and they are nowhere to be found. Not a reflection on the quality of the item, but the package was not as advertised for sure. Therefore, I am giving this a 4 star review. If everything came as advertised in the pictures and description, I would give it a 5. Keep this in mind if you are planning on ordering. I was contacted by the company and asked to test this product. Once completed, I gave the above review based on my findings.

Love this product. The price is right and you certainly get your sweat on. Cheaper than a gym membership and you can supplement your workouts with weights.
