Slide N Glide discs

[toomuchjoy]

So I've been trying out some of my new LIS bundle this week. Having a blast with them.

However, I don't think my carpet is very conducive to the sliding discs. I have trouble doing jumping jacks with them and some of the burpee moves. It's not a very thick carpet more of a tight knit berber so I would expect to be a problem. Because they're so hard to use, I'm not too happy to use them.

Do I just need to get used to them? I'm really bummed and thought I would really like them.

I've heard people recommend using furniture polish on them - I think. Just something to make the discs glide a little easier. Hopefully people who use their discs on carpet will chime in with what they have found to work.

There is no way that I do jumping jacks with the Slide and Glides. I simply find it too awkward. I choose to do regular jumping jacks. I also have carpet, but this is not why I do not use them for the jumping jacks....it's just too much and really, IMHO, not necessary!!! And regular jumping jacks are fine for me.

I use the S& G's for almost everything else.

Yep, Macbeanur is right...spray on a little pledge, wipe it off, and you'll be surprised how slippery your discs will e...in fact, be careful!

Thanks! I will try that!

Mine got better and easier to slide with time which sounds weird, but so much easier now. I used them on my regular carpet and there was a bit too much resistance but workable. Then I took them travelling once and used them on a thicker carpet...they moved great on that carpet and after that, they worked great on my home carpet. I don't know if there was something on that carpet or what , but they are much better now (and I have that tight berber style carpet as well).

I work out on a carpet

However, my carpet is not that thick. I don't have the covering on them, and they work just fine. I just finished the 50 minute premix of Lower Body Blast, and it burned about 400 calories.
