"Hey girls, Michelle again. Just wanted to give you the scoop on the latest class I tried for our &amp;quot;I tried it!&amp;quot; series, which features the newest and coolest fitness classes out there right now: The Workout: Cardio Slide Board  Where it&amp;#039;s available: I took it at Physical Mind Studio in NYC, but lots of gyms feature this kind of class for a select period of time, so just ask! The Promise: They say you&amp;#039;ll get achallenging workout that&amp;#039;s completely different from your usual cardio by using the slide board, a slick mat that has blocks on each side to push off from, to give you a skating-like effect! The Real Deal: I was really surprised at how challenging this class was. It was my first time at a power slide class so it took some practice before I was able to get used to the board. At first, it felt kind of like ice-skating but before I knew it, I was working up a sweat. The class starts off with a slow warm-up, but quickly picks up the pace, moving into faster sliding and then going into ab and leg workouts as well. Weights are also used as props alongside some of the exercises. If you&amp;#039;re looking for a unique and fast-paced cardio class that will leave you feeling toned and tired, this is definitely worth a try.  Fun Factor: 7/10 Ouch Factor: 8/10 Overall Rating: 8/10 Can&amp;#039;t find it at a gym near you?: If your nearest gym doesn&amp;#039;t offer it and you&amp;#039;re eager to try it, you can either purchase a slide board online and follow the instructional videos on YouTube or make one yourself! There are lots of step-by-step directions on how to DIY online. Here&amp;#039;s one example at eHow.com to get you started!\u2014By Michelle Regalado So what do you think: Are you willing to give Power Slide a try? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
