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

We bought this Slide Board for our 11 year old son who started getting into Ice Hockey. He's somewhat late in the game (no pun intended) so he needs to improve his side-to-side stick handling. We started looking around for a slide board and this one seemed like a promising option. We weren't sure what to expect as there weren't too many reviews when we bought it, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The slide board itself feels very sturdy and well built. It's been two weeks since we got it for him and so far so good. The booties are made out of lycra and they're good quality as well, which is an important detail as the cheaper ones don't slide so well. We bought this for hockey training, not for the other workouts, but my wife (who hits the gym 3-4 times a week) got all into it two days after it arrived and it actually seems like a pretty good workout all around (the bottom part sticks to the floor and the slide board itself is very slippery, especially if you're wearing the booties, so exercising on it is very effective). I'm quite pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.

I was injured in a motorcycle accident about a year ago and my leg is still recovering. I am in the strength building stage and have been recovering slowly. When I saw this slide board, I knew I had to have one! It seemed perfect for my office and I made the purchase. The delivery was quick and I was impressed with the packaging and accessories the board included.Here is why I gave this item 5-stars:1. Perfect for my office or home2. Light weight and perfect for all on the go needs3. Includes a mesh carrying tote, user guide with suggested exercises, as well as slider booties that fit over your shoes4. Helps add resistance for a full body workout5. Less injuries due to low impact exercises6. Ideal for carpet, hardwood floors or any surface without damaging floor7. Easy to clean and storeI am a HUGE fan of this product and it is affordable compared to other slide boards I researched. The board helps me get some exercise even on the busiest of days! I keep it under my desk in my office and get a workout in during lunch.This slide board has motivated me to keep building my strength in my leg! The included sliding booties fit right over my shoes and I have tons of fun exercising and I feel sore every time I use it! There are tons of different workouts available online. Perfect for anyone, specially those with busy schedules.Thanks for reading and hope this helps (:

So first off, I don't play hockey, or skate that much, but I do know how. The purpose of the slide board for us is lateral leg strengthening, balance, and cardiovascular fitness. It is one component of a multi-sport exercise regimen. I picked this board because people said it was good quality, and the price was right for the quality reviews. The quality of the product is good- it needs to have weights on it the first few days it is out of the box because it curls up, but that settles down. The surface is low friction, and the booties make sliding easy. You need to wear shoes with the little bootie covers because the bumpers on the board become uncomfortable for bare feet to hit after a few slides. I bought the 6 ft (actually 5'7" between the bumpers) and it was too small. I am 5'10, my friend is 6'2, we both felt constrained by the short distance before the opposite bumper. Missed some of the force otherwise required to get to the far side, and reduced the workout on the legs. Another 1-2 feet to push and it would be perfect as a fitness tool. Returning for the 7.5ft item, same price. Smaller people/kids, people who don't skate often, or those working on balance technique may be fine with the smaller board. I don't know if the short distance between the bumpers would be better for someone training for hockey, when short strokes on the skates and stick handling technique matters most- but like i said, that's not what I do. I would imagine if you are in hockey enough to want one of these, a coach could give guidance on the right distance.

I love this, I know nothing about slide boards, but I watched a lot of how-to videos. It is nice that it is 7.5 feet, and the Lycra shoe sleeves that come with it are great,. It comes with a carry mesh bag. I love ice skating, but I was just a light hobby skater and was more into other sports. Sliding from one side to the other of the 7.5. foot board is probably going to take me a while. I just received it today, and I could just slide about 3.5 feet after pushing off, it is a new feeling. I am a female, 5' 10" tall, and just slide walking sideways is a workout. I figure in about a few days, I will figure out how to push myself off the end to way over to the other side. This comes with a starter guide. YouTube has plenty of videos that also include slide board exercises for triceps and biceps, and I saw more than 20 exercises done on it. This is a replacement for an old cross-country ski machine I was using and it broke. I am very excited about this slide board since I can use it at home and it offers an intensive, low impact workout, and I can carry it with me. I love sliding, I'm just so happy!

So initial thoughts:Wow! This is convenient, a slide board that I can take with me or leave at the house and pack up when I'm not using it! BUT will it be stable? Will it be usable? I'm a big guy, will it work for me?I was very surprised that the answer is yes to all of the above!I haven't yet tried it in carpet, only on hardwood and it did very well on hardwood.Two problems I had (which didn't make it unusable)1. The side that was rolled into the middle (when rolled up) did not completely flatten when rolled out to use, I was still able to completely use it, I was just concerned the first time trying it.2. .Those were the main things, it works as advertised. I would recommend it to someone who would like to use a slide board but not take up space or would need to travel with it.

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.

I find the board way too long (6 ft) and think for my needs a 4 ft. board would have been better. I'm having a hard time getting the board to lay flat on the floor, it curls under at the ends, which makes the whole thing roll up. The board is not very slippery, so I'm not able to get the smooth motion I was looking for. It seems like a good quality piece, and I'm sure for others it's not too long, but I'm not sure at this early stage whether I will be able to get the benefits I was looking for.

The board is great. It slides as expected, and allows me to work on my goalie sliding style.It takes some space and can be awkward to fold back in the bag so MAKE SURE you have the space. It won't turn but stays straight.7' is long, have the space and you will enjoy it as much as me. Get some shoes to use in the special cover, I wouldn't see all shoes doing well but its up to you.They have a 3 emails policies to seek feedback which is quick and great if theres anything you are missing or dislike.

The product met my expectations. Very good workout expected on a regular basis. Robust product that anchors properly (does not slip when in use). Expect a day or so for the product to flatten out properly after delivery. But that is a minor issue...

The American Lifetime Slide Board has been great! I'm really enjoying the product and I look forward to using it much more in the future. As good as the product has been it's been the customer service that has impressed me the most. I've felt very well taken cared of and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

I really like this product and find that the 6 foot slide is a good length for me.It is a great addition to my exercise regime. I also like how it is easy to roll up and store.

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.

Travail les jambes efficacement. Je suis très satisfaite du produit! Dans l'emballage, une paire de ''lycra booties'' supplémentaire serait apréciée. Lorsque tu fais essayer le ''Slide board'' à des gens, ils capotent tous et trouvent ça vraiment cool!

Having fun with my slide board. Changes up my workout from the usual treadmill, bike etc. Make sure to use it on the correct surface as it will move on carpet. Pleased with this purchase.

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.

As a goalie, this is a great product to strengthen your quads, hips, and adductors. Works best on hard surface, but also on short carpet.

Slides very well but needed to use weights on either side to hold it in place or else it would slip on the ground

I'm in love with my slide board!!!

Great product, I ‘m getting older I maybe should have got a shorter one.. Great workout!
