Reebok Slide for cardio???

[Shades McCool]

Hey have any of you ever used the Reebok Slide before? I have recently been given one by a friend and I am thinking of using it daily for some cardio. What do you guys think?

 

[Shades McCool]

No one has ever used it?

I'm not 100% sure what exactly the Reebok slide is, however, if its like any of those other things with a flat center with angled sides, you SHOULD NOT use it.

They will fuck up your knees bad in the long run. There was an article on this in t-mag or something I read.

No this thing is totally flat and 7 feet long. I think it would be a pretty good cardio tool but I wanted to see if any of yall had used it before.

 

[Shades McCool]

No one at all?

Try doing a search and see if anyone else has posted shit about lateral slides

Cardio is cardio... get your burn on

shades - i've used it before....years ago. i can't believe that thing is still around. i remember getting a good workout from it and it was fun.

do whatever works for you. plus, it might be a fun component to add some variety to your workout.

Is that the thing Ben Stiller used in "Heavyweights"? He tries to get the fat kids in shape by sliding on the retarded looking thing?

yes it is, good for cardio but hitting a bag is better or sprinting, Functional is a great motivator, but if it is cold you can do it for fun and a diversion

Here is a link to what he's talking about.

I've never tried it, but I have seen some people at the gym use it in the cardio room.
