Gliding Discs

Somehow my beloved Cathe gliding discs got lost in our recent move

And now I find they are discontinued! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

So off I go to find a new pair. The Beachbody strength slides look the most similar in terms of shape, size and the booties you can take on or off. But they are $30 plus $7 shipping, yikes. If they work as well as Cathe's I suppose it's worth it but for close to 40 bucks I started looking into other options.

Mindy Mylrea's are similar in terms of shape and size but I don't like that you have to choose one flooring type, so those are out.

Valslides look interesting but I wonder how well they work for cardio type moves like Cathe's jack type moves on them?

Are there other gliding disc options that you would recommend? Would love any feedback on the kind(s) you've tried. Thank you!

You might ask at Cathe's site. Maybe someone has a pair they don't use.

That's a really good thought...didn't consider that at all. I will definitely post over there. Thanks!

I'm so sorry for your loss! Only on VF would people truly understand. ha!

Yes, the Mindy discs are the same as the Cathes, but no hardwood floor coverings.

Maybe you can find some on eBay or Craig's List?

LOL I frantically asked my husband where my slide n glide discs were and he could not comprehend why I was so upset about it!

I have been on ebay but haven't checked CL....I might get lucky there.

I will probably bite the bullet and buy the BB slides the second someone tells me they are comparable. Anyone? I need an enabler

I actually prefer the furniture sliders I bought on Amazon. Cheap, too.

I have a pair of Cathe gliders that I don't use. I actually prefer the Mindy ones that I bought. Unfortunately because I don't use my Cathe gliders, I don't know where they are. If you don't have any luck with Cathe's site, let me look around my house this weekend.

Valerie Waters has slide, booties, and carrying bag at valslide.com

She sometimes has a sale, but these will hurt the pocketbook too, unfortunately.
