Heavy Weight Skating Trainer (Slide Board)

Product detailed description

Heavy Weight skating trainer (slide board) 230 cm

(flowin, slide board)

The Heavy Weight slide board (skating trainer) 230 cm is another training tool that will take you up another level in both conditioning and strength training. The top layer forms the sliding surface for the conditioning work or "skating" itself, while the bottom is a non-slip layer that grips the surface (floor) to stop the board from moving around. For skating (moving) on the top layer you use the shoe covers, which are included in the pack. 

Our longest adjustable skating trainer (slide board) has an adjustable length from 0–230 cm, allowing for different types of skating or other movement. A shorter length, for example, for sprint skating and a longer one for slower skating. Adjustable length means you have the longest possible sliding surface available, which you can shorten by, for example, placing weight plates or another object inside. If anyone wants to shorten the sliding length permanently, we have a video tutorial showing you how to do it in the comfort of your own home. The width of the sliding surface is fixed at approx. 50 cm. Although the slide board is most often used as a skating trainer, it is used by both men and women, for example for group training, specific Pilates training or circuit conditioning training. Overall, this piece of sports equipment strengthens your whole body, not just your legs as it might seem. 

The Heavy Weight skating trainer is best used on a non-slippery surface such as a tartan track or rubber flooring. If you want to use the trainer on another type of surface, such as parquet or laminate flooring, place a rubber mat underneath it and weigh it down with weight plates, for example.

The trainer comes with sliding covers (booties) that go over your regular shoes. This is important because your foot is then better secured. Besides the covers, you also get a carry bag, which is again great because the trainer is easier to carry, takes up less space and is protected from damage. Last but not least, you also get a sponge for lubricating the sliding surface, which extends its lifespan.

Although the skating trainer (slide board) is known as a bodyweight workout, to boost the effect it is used together with the Heavy Weight weighted vest and Heavy Weight weighted shorts. Thanks to the weighted vest and weighted shorts, your whole workout moves up to a higher level, because your body weight increases and you have to put much more effort into your training, which leads to faster fat burning and greater muscle strengthening. So you can also use Heavy Weight wrist weights or Heavy Weight ankle weights.

For better stick handling while moving on the skating trainer, it is ideal to add a hockey stick weight.

A great accessory for every athlete is our Czech Heavy Weight tactical backpack, which holds everything you need for:

• training,
• travelling,
• hiking,
• everyday activities.

Combat sports are also among the most effective activities for improving fitness, and it is precisely these athletes who use Heavy Weight MMA and boxing resistance bands.

Beyond that, resistance strength is used in all sports — hockey, basketball, football, athletics and more. So if you want to take your training to the next level, whether on or off the ice, you can improve your strength, fitness and overall starts with the Czech resistance rope with a belt or the Czech resistance rope with a vest.

To take slide board/skating trainer training further, coaches add mini resistance bands between the knees or classic resistance bands, which they attach to a fixed object or a barbell.

If you also want an effective upper-body workout, you can attach weight to your body by using the Heavy Weight dip belt and attaching kettlebags filled with vest weights in various weight variants:

• adjustable kettlebag (training bag) up to 10 kg
• adjustable kettlebag (training bag) up to 20 kg
• adjustable kettlebag (training bag) up to 30 kg
• adjustable kettlebag (training bag) up to 40 kg 

For both strength and conditioning training, working out on the suspension trainer is fantastic — you can work every muscle group in a completely different way than you're used to. With the suspension training system, your workout takes on a whole new dimension. The second variant of this kind of training is training with Heavy Weight gymnastic rings, available in two versions:

• gymnastic rings with a narrower grip
• gymnastic rings with a wider grip

And what about adding an inclined surface to your training? Almost all coaches and physiotherapists include it in their athletes' training. You can get an inclined surface with the Heavy Weight slant board . And while we're on the subject of physiotherapists and coaches who use specific tools, we should also mention the Heavy Weight foam roller, ideal for recovery, rehabilitation and regeneration after every workout.

A higher level of rehabilitation and muscle release is provided by the TOP GUN Heavy Weight massage gun, which comfortably and conveniently relaxes your entire body.

A brilliant gadget and toy you can always take with you for a complete full-body workout is the Heavy Weight home fitness band set, with which you can adjust the resistance by attaching resistance bands and at the same time use it to train your upper, lower and core body.

As we mentioned, you can attach additional resistance bands to the Heavy Weight home fitness band set/fitness training set of resistance bands to increase its functionality and resistance range. The following bands can be attached to this set individually: 

• resistance bands/training bands/exercise bands, resistance up to 7 kg
• resistance bands/training bands/exercise bands, resistance up to 13 kg
• resistance bands/training bands/exercise bands, resistance up to 22 kg
• resistance bands/training bands/exercise bands, resistance up to 29 kg

 Speaking of other products that can be attached to this set, we mustn't forget the  Czech Heavy Weight resistance rope.

If you'd like to learn a great exercise that few people can manage, then the standing plank with an ab wheel is just the thing to show you stand out from the crowd.

 Classic weights for strength as well as conditioning training, besides weighted vests and adjustable kettlebags, also include the adjustable sandbag in various weight variants with 8 grip options, or the specific training bag known as the Bulgarian bag, for strengthening your core and shoulders. Right after them come medicine balls/slam balls for building real explosiveness.

Now that we've mentioned the sports tools that will keep everything firmly in your hands, you should know that there are also battle ropes/weighted ropes/training ropes, with which you'll build not just your forearms in an amazing way.

When you're putting in a workout, you want to be sure you can always push it to the max — and that's what Heavy Weight lifting straps are for. They support your grip, and what's more, you can have Heavy Weight lifting straps made with your own print/design.

When stretching before or after training, you don't want to roll around on the cold, hard ground — you want to be comfortable and give all your attention to a quality, effective stretch. You'll only achieve that on our Heavy Weight exercise mat.
