The GoFit Go Slides are a fitness tool designed for a total body workout, with a primary focus on targeting the glutes, legs, and abs. These slides are engineered to move smoothly on both hard and soft surfaces, offering versatility in workout environments.

Function Description:

The Go Slides are essentially low-friction discs that allow users to perform exercises that involve sliding movements, engaging core muscles and providing a challenging workout. By reducing friction between the body and the floor, the slides force muscles to work harder to stabilize and control movements, leading to improved strength, balance, and flexibility. The exercises demonstrated in the manual primarily involve lunges, planks, and hamstring curls, utilizing either one or two slides depending on the specific movement and desired intensity. The sliding motion adds an eccentric component to many exercises, which can be beneficial for muscle development and injury prevention.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific material compositions or dimensions are not provided, the Go Slides are designed to be durable for fitness use. They come with "Slider Booties," which are covers specifically designed for use on hard surfaces like hardwood, smooth concrete, laminate, or tiled floors. These booties ensure smooth sliding and protect both the slides and the floor. For soft surfaces such as carpet, the slides can be used without the booties. The design of the slides, as depicted, appears to be a circular or oval shape with a textured top surface for grip and a smooth, low-friction bottom surface. The Slider Booties are applied by pulling them over the slide, cinching them securely with a drawstring, and then locking the clasp to prevent them from coming off during use.

Usage Features:

• Versatile Surface Use: Can be used on soft surfaces (carpet) without booties and hard surfaces (wood, laminate, tile, concrete) with the included Slider Booties.
• Targeted Muscle Groups: Specifically designed to target glutes, legs, and abs, while also providing a total body workout.
• Exercise Variety: The manual illustrates a range of exercises including Reverse Lunge, Lateral Lunge, Quadruped w/ Extension, Quadruped Hip Abduction/Adduction, Plank-One Knee In, Knee Tuck, Pike, Modified Push Up Fly (one and two slider options), Modified Hamstring Curl, and Eccentric Hamstring Curl.
• Progressive Workout Guidelines: The manual provides recommended workout guidelines for Beginner (2-3 times weekly), Intermediate (3 times weekly), and Advanced (3-4 times weekly) users. Each level specifies the number of sets, repetitions (per side if applicable), and rest time between sets.
  • Beginner: 1 set of 8 reps (each side if applicable), with 30 seconds rest between sets.
  • Intermediate: 2 sets of 10 reps (each side if applicable), with 30 seconds rest between sets.
  • Advanced: 3 sets of 12 reps (each side if applicable), with 30 seconds rest between sets.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Not recommended for individuals with shoulder or back injuries for upper body exercises.
  • Sedentary individuals should develop core strength before use.
  • Always inspect slides for cracks or defects before each use.
  • Ensure adequate clearance around the exercise area and remove sharp objects.
  • Wear appropriate exercise clothing and footwear.
  • Use caution when determining physical limitations.
  • Not recommended for use during pregnancy.
  • Not a toy; adult supervision required for users under 18.
  • Store out of reach of children and pets.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: The Go Slides should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. Abrasive or chemical cleaners should NOT be used.
• Storage: Keep the Go Slides out of direct sunlight and away from extreme high or low temperatures or heat sources to prevent damage.

The Go Slides are presented as a tool to enhance an existing exercise regimen, emphasizing the importance of proper technique and form over increasing repetitions or pushing physical limitations prematurely. Users are strongly advised to consult a medical professional before starting any fitness regimen or using this product, as there is a significant risk of injury, including catastrophic injury or death.
