6 Foot or 8 Foot Slide Board

[kettlebell]

I'm thinking about getting a slide board. Which would be better? The 6 foot or the 8 foot for someone who is 5' 7". Does length really matter?

What is a slide board? Never heard of such.

I think you'll be better with the 6 foot. I have one that is older and it's a reebok one, but it is stuck in the farthest place and I cannot move it. It's too far apart and it's harder to get the cardio effect with it. You want to be able to get to each side without a problem.

I had a choice between a 4' and 5' board. I am 5'6. I chose the 5' board and ended up returning it. I couldn't slide across the entire thing. I wished I would have chosen the 4' board.

Mine is adjustable, and I keep it at the shortest setting, 5 feet.

I have a adjustable one to..I mostly use it in the 6ft mode, I'm 5'9, however, it's good to know I can move it over to 8ft for more intensity, Slide boards are great for the lower body

I have an adjustable one, I'm 5'3" with short legs and keep it at 6 feet. It's difficult sometimes but it's a great workout! I think 8 feet is way long for anyone.
