Has anyone tried using paper plates on carpet? Does it work well?
I have that sculpted carpet in my workout area and I wasn't sure whether paper plates/sliding discs would work on it.
I believe the plates are used in STS and I was hoping to get STS for Christmas but wanted to make sure I would be able to do everything in it for optimal benfits.
Thanks!

Paper plates work well on carpets.
And rags work well on wood floors, as do socks (large socks over the top of your shoes, for example).
On carpet, you can also use Gliding Discs (round, like the discs Cathe and crew are using) or furniture movers (the big, rectangular ones), or "Valslides" (which are basically just the big, rectangular furniture movers, but in green and about 3x the price, LOL!).
If you're on puzzle mats, the best solution is to put down a small rug or bath mat and use the options that work on carpet.

I use a frisbee. Got it at the dollar store. It works with puzzle mats as well.
This is brilliant! Thanks for the tip! Paper plates work, but I have to keep replacing them because they get worn to shreds after a few uses.

I didn't like using the paper plates, so I got mine at glidingdiscs.com and LOVE THEM! I've had them for a while now (I can't remember how much they were), but I don't remember them being real expensive.

IIRC, I got mine for around $20.

I actually used the Dixie Plastic picnic plates (The "disposable" ones you'd buy instead of paper plates). They work excellent on my berber area rug.
