You could use paper plates but not for the cardio portion. And even for the toning section, I've been doing it with paper plate while waiting for my discs to come, but I can assure you that the intensity of the workout is totally different once you use them. I think Cathe thought this series with the precise intention of using the discs for upping the intensity, Hope someone else will give some good hints/suggestion, meanwhile I would keep a close eye on the shop for some deals/special offers, maybe you could buy them at a lower price

Hello! Where do you live? I'm from Canada and ordered the discs with the longer mail wait time, not priority post (so about 2 weeks) and it was no more than $5 I think. You have the option of choosing.
The discs are worth EVERY PENNY!! You are going to love how they shape and define your legs and butt. Out of all my fitness equipment, I cherish these the most!!

I have the slide and glides and honestly, they don't slide and glide very well on my carpet. There is a drag on them and it consumes far too much energy. Therefore, I have pushed them aside and returned to my furniture mover discs which work splendidly. The only thing I prefer is the round shape of the slide and glide opposed to the oval shape of my furniture discs. The furniture discs slide very easily and I still put my heals down to apply the brakes on the slide and glide move. I really wanted to use the slide & glide and am disappointed they don't slide so good on my carpet. Not sure why but it is what it is.

Try double checking the shipping costs...I know I placed an order a few weeks ago and the shipping seemed really high...I found out later from SNM that the shipping costs are calculated by external computers (e.g., USPS) and if that computer goes down the option just doesn't appear, just leaving you with the remaining options, which might be much more expensive.
Good luck!

Did you order Cathe's calendar? If by chance you did, you can use your 20% off discount. They def are worth the workout you get from using them!

I second this idea as well! I have heard many people using just plain dollar store frisbees. Oh, and another helpful tip that I was alerted to (from another forum) with regard to them not gliding so easily on carpet; spray some furniture polish on the bottom and polish the discs. It made a HUGE difference!

Polishing the discs with furniture polish is a GREAT idea. I am going to do that tomorrow and do slide and glide with my discs. YAY Thanks for passing on that suggestion.
You are most welcome! I was very excited to learn about it myself and even more excited when it worked!
