XR slide Review.
A few weeks ago Panacea Life asked me if I would like to try out one of their XR Slide fitness products and review.
After watching all the fun things you can do with it on you tube video, I was more than happy to give it a go.
XR slide Review:
I wish I looked as thin and coordinated as Justine Switalla, the model in the YouTube video!!
A great demonstration of slide exercises for the entire body that you can do with the XR Slide.

What I Thought Of The XR Slide:
The XR slide is a fun little fitness product which the model in the youtube makes look a lot easier than it actually is.
I excitedly opened it and looked for some exercises to try but nothing inside the box to show you, which leaves you trying to figure out what to do with them.
It states there are 75+unique exercises you can use?
How and where you find them, I am not sure?
The few exercises on the youtube video are good fun and I think in time I may well get used to them.
Like anything new, it does take time to get better at them.
I am sure you could get lots of strength, toning and fitness with them if you can find some exercises.
The only worry I have, is that it can be quite easy to over extend when using this type of equipment. For example, if you had the sliders on your knees or feet and are in the press up position, then sliding your legs up and down similar to a squat thrust.
You have to be very careful not to have too much lateral movement, and not over stretch your legs out losing control. This could lead to a pulled muscle quite easily. You need to concentrate 100% on what you are doing always keeping well under control moving very slowly if necessary.
My eldest son who is studying Sports Science at Loughborough University and is a County standard athlete was saying the ease of misuse of this type of apparatus would be a major concern.
Although if you could overcome that, then it could be an additional training aid.
He also questioned whether you could do the same job on a wooden floor with a towel wrapped round your knees or fists etc and get similar results at a fraction of the price?!
XR slide Review:
- Overall then I would say 2½ out of 5.
- Access to all 75 exercises you can do with it would help.
- If you can find them anywhere?
- Using a lot of self-control and discipline would be needed to get the most of the sliders.
- Launch price £24.99

Hi Claire,Just happened to come across your review. You provided some good points for us to consider. We've been working to produce a DVD to eliminate some questions and misconceptions. We keep everyone informed of our latest updates. If it helps, our "Basic XRcise Training Guide" link, numerous instructional demo videos and sample circuits are available. Sorry to hear that Panacea Life didn't provide the address for you to find these resources. Looking at the date of your post, PL had only just begun official representation for XR Slide in Europe at that time.Anyways, thanks for taking the time to have a look at our product. Hopefully you've gotten a bit of use out of the pair PL sent to you. The results from training with XR Slide is pretty remarkable.Keep up the great work!Best regards,Christopher Pardon
Hi Chrstopher, thank you for the message and the website. I will check you out now. I really like the idea of a dvd, is it a workout dvd? I like to work out either as part of a group or with a dvd, it makes it so much more fun if you have a routine to work to.I look forward to trying out the exercises now I know where to find them, many thanks 🙂
