Just making new years' resolutions about going more to the gym, and I came across "sliders" - basically slippery pads for doing various exercises.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Exercise-Machines/Sliders-Sided-Gliding-Discs-Carpet-Floors-Silver/B00OYRW4UE/ref=cts_sp_4_vtp?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=1069525627&pf_rd_r=M539H6501ECD193J424W&pd_rd_wg=Vmgjs&pf_rd_s=desktop-detail-softlines&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_i=B00OYRW4UE&pd_rd_w=uQcfV&pf_rd_i=desktop-detail-softlines&pd_rd_r=M539H6501ECD193J424W&_encoding=UTF8

Has anyone used these? Are they worth a shot? Or just another gimmick. (Actually, if a gimmick makes exercise more interesting it may be worth it!)

A variation on the wheel.
Can be bloody hard work if done right.

If you got carpet floors just use paper party plates. Anything else is just a gimmick.
I've used slider type workouts and they can be really hard

Have used them in the past (pilates classes but the instructor mixes it up quite a bit) -adds an interesting variation, some/many of which you could otherwise do on a suspension trainer (eg human trainer or trx - tho the latter are a bit annoying on a few counts). And *far* more versatile than a wheel. But could use towels on a shiney floor - quite a few videos on YouTube.
