Obsidian Slide Board

Item #F12210 -- the Obsidian Slide Board exercise mat is $109.99??!!!! What am I missing? Does anyone have this? Kerstin just said "at $109 it's a gift to you, it should be more like @$189!"

It's a mat with some DVDs and the mitts to put on your sneakers so you can slide back & forth. I would try it at $39, it's the price that I just don't understand.

Agree. If you are not fit, athletic or even an uncoordinated person you won't be able to do this....
Kiersten also just ugged he new fitness show....Ugh no thanks.

I just went elsewhere and purchased a pair of sliding gliders, which will do just what I need. I can use my upper body as well as my lower body, on carpet or hard floors, at $15.

This is something dug up from the fitness junkyard from 25 years ago. I had one just like it. It is a piece of you know what.. it is dangerous as you can fall easy ..plus it is hard on your knees. Do Not Buy it!

I saw a bit of that earlier ... and wondered ...

How come QVC doesn't show these kinds of products demonstrated by women other than athletic type women.

Perhaps having Carolyn Grace or Antonella Nester host this type of show so the viewers have a more realistic idea of what a new user would encounter.

For makeup and other beauty items, they demonstrate on average women ... why not athletic equipment?

LOL.

I'm sure Carolyn and Antonella would be thrilled to be the poster children for the "unfit."

Probably because someone unaccustomed to this thing could fall. I would refuse!

Between this thing and that twisty piece of plastic, I'm amazed that people aren't slipping and falling on these things......stupid junk!! Take a walk.....if it's cold, go to the mall!

P.S. What makes Kirstin a fitness expert?? Does she have any credentials?

Be careful of that twisty piece of plastic (besides falling).... the friction at the apex will ruin your carpet.... and really ruin wood floors and if you put it on concrete, the concrete will ruin the plastic!....

I believe I read (and could be wrong) that she was a fitness teacher....

@Q4u Oh, you are so right. You have to protect your bum and the floors. I would hurt both! No thanks.
