UltraSlide has partnered with NBC's The Biggest Loser to help contestants achieve their fitness goals through fun and effective workouts. The UltraSlide slide board was first featured in Season 9 on February 9, 2010, during a special Pop Challenge at the United States Olympic Training Center. Contestants raced to be the first to complete 500 slides, putting their endurance, strength, and determination to the test.
UltraSlide at The Ranch
Four UltraSlide 7 boards have a permanent home at The Ranch for contestants of Season 10 and beyond. These slide boards continue to be a key part of the training program, helping participants burn calories, build strength, and improve endurance in a low-impact yet highly effective way.
Why UltraSlide Is Perfect for Weight Loss
UltraSlide slide boards offer a unique way to engage in high-intensity, low-impact exercise, making them ideal for weight loss programs. Unlike traditional cardio workouts, slide board exercises activate multiple muscle groups at once, increasing calorie burn while reducing stress on the joints. This makes them especially beneficial for individuals carrying excess weight or recovering from injuries.
The dynamic movements performed on an UltraSlide also enhance balance, coordination, and core strength. Exercises such as speed skaters, alternating side lunges, and plank slides provide a full-body workout that improves endurance and agility. Because UltraSlide workouts can be adapted to any fitness level, they are a versatile tool for anyone looking to shed pounds and build strength.
The Lasting Impact of UltraSlide Training
The use of UltraSlide slide boards on The Biggest Loser has introduced contestants to an innovative and enjoyable way to exercise, helping them develop sustainable fitness habits that extend beyond their time on the show. Many participants have continued using slide boards in their personal training routines, proving their effectiveness in maintaining long-term health and weight management.
By incorporating UltraSlide into their fitness programs, The Biggest Loser has reinforced the importance of functional movement, endurance training, and joint-friendly workouts. Whether used in high-intensity challenges or everyday training, UltraSlide slide boards continue to play a crucial role in helping people achieve and maintain their fitness goals.
