There are easy ways to make a slide rather than spending money on one. If you are on a carpet, just put a plastic bag over your foot for the slide exercises. If you have hard flooring, wear an extra fuzzy sock that will slide well.
In the beginning when I was doing slides while on my back in bed, I had a long piece of 2 ft wide cardboard that I used. The cardboard also worked well to flip crosswise on the bed to do side leg extensions, just angled up a bit to keep the heel on it throughout the whole wing motion.
