     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     To provide a thorough understanding, the purpose and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
     Please refer to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 4 , an exercising slider of the present invention is disclosed, comprises a disc body ( 1 ) and a handgrip ( 2 ). 
     The disc body ( 1 ) appears as a hexagonal shape, has a first end surface and a second end surface opposite to the first end surface in which the first end surface is defined as a smooth surface ( 11 ). 
     The disc body ( 1 ) further comprises a first recess ( 12 ) on the second end surface, two assembly holes ( 13 ) disposed at a bottom of the first recess ( 12 ) for passing through the first end surface, and a rough disc ( 14 ) assembled to the first recess ( 12 ) on the second end surface to form a rough surface ( 15 ). The rough disc ( 14 ) can be made of a flannel or a mutispandex. Each of the two assembly holes ( 13 ) at the bottom of the first recess ( 12 ) is provided with a protruding rim ( 131 ) along a periphery, and the rough disc ( 14 ) has two through holes ( 141 ) corresponding to the two assembly holes ( 13 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) for assembling to the protruding rim ( 131 ) of the two assembly holes ( 13 ). In addition, each of the two assembly holes ( 13 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) is provided with plural positioning blocks ( 132 ) on a wall thereof. The disc body ( 1 ) is provided with a first connecting portion ( 16 ) and a second connecting portion ( 17 ) respectively on at least two corresponding laterals, and the first connecting portion ( 16 ) has at least one mortise ( 161 ) and the second connection portion ( 17 ) has at least one tenon ( 171 ) for correspondingly engaging with the at least one mortise ( 161 ). 
     The handgrip ( 2 ) has an arched shape and an anti-slip portion ( 21 ) in a middle of the handgrip ( 2 ). The handgrip ( 2 ) has two terminals and each of two terminals is provided with a second recess ( 22 ), a protruding margin ( 23 ) formed on a periphery of the second recess ( 22 ) and having plural engaging concave portions ( 231 ), plural locking columns ( 24 ) at a bottom of the second recess ( 22 ) and each having a first locking hole ( 241 ) at a center, an anti-slip mat ( 25 ) made of a rubber material, a fixing sheet ( 26 ) having plural second locking holes ( 261 ), and plural locking members ( 27 ). The anti-slip mat ( 25 ) has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and an engaging groove ( 251 ) disposed along a periphery of the first surface for correspondingly engaging with the protruding margin ( 23 ) of the handgrip ( 2 ). The anti-slip mat ( 25 ) is provided with plural engaging protruding portions ( 252 ) in the engaging groove ( 251 ) to engage with the plural engaging concave portions ( 231 ) of the protruding margin ( 23 ). The second surface of the anti-slip mat ( 25 ) is further provided with a fixing recess ( 253 ) disposed for accommodating the fixing sheet ( 26 ), and plural third locking holes ( 254 ) at a bottom of the fixing recess ( 253 ) for corresponding to the plural second locking holes ( 261 ) of the fixing sheet ( 26 ). Each of the plural locking members ( 27 ) passes through one of the third locking holes ( 254 ) of the anti-slip mat ( 25 ) and one of the second locking holes ( 261 ) of the fixing sheet ( 26 ) for locking to the first locking hole ( 241 ) of each of the plural locking columns ( 24 ) respectively to fix the anti-slip mat ( 25 ) to each of the two terminals of the handgrip ( 2 ). In addition, the second surface of the anti-slip mat ( 25 ) is provided with plural positioning concave portions ( 255 ) along a periphery thereof, and each of the two terminals of the handgrip ( 2 ) is inserted into each of the two assembly holes ( 13 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) for engaging the plural positioning concave portions ( 255 ) of the anti-slip mat ( 2 ) with the plural positioning blocks ( 132 ) of each of the two assembly holes ( 13 ) for positioning. 
     Accordingly, in use of the present invention, the smooth surface ( 11 ) or the rough surface ( 15 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) is attached to a floor according to a status of the floor to generate friction in need. For example, if the floor is a hard floor as a wooden floor or a tile floor, the rough surface ( 15 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) is used to attach the floor; and if the floor is covered with a carpet, the smooth surface ( 11 ) of the disc body ( 1 ) is used to attach the floor. Therefore, a proper friction in need between the disc body ( 1 ) and the floor can make the present invention slide stably on different types of floor. 
     Furthermore, various parts of muscles of a user can be trained by utilizing various training modes of the present invention. As shown in  FIG. 5 , when training upper body muscles, the user kneels on the ground and holds the handgrip ( 2 ) engaged to the disc body ( 1 ) by each hand, and the two disc body ( 1 ) on the floor are sliding left and right simultaneously by the two arms of the user to exercise chest muscle, arm muscle and upper abdomen muscles. Please refer to  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 7 , the mortise ( 161 ) of the first connection portion ( 16 ) of one disc body ( 1 ) is engaged to the tenon ( 171 ) of the second connection portion ( 17 ) of another disc body ( 1 ) correspondingly for assembling the two disc bodies ( 1 ); the user knells on the floor and holds the two handgrip ( 2 ) of the two disc bodies ( 1 ) to slide the two disc bodies ( 1 ) forth and back on the floor by moving the user&#39;s two arms forth and back simultaneously. In addition, referring to  FIG. 8 , the handgrip ( 2 ) is separated form the disc body ( 1 ) and two disc bodies ( 1 ) are pressed by two hands of the user respectively to slide the two disc bodies ( 1 ) on the floor which achieves effects of upper abdomen muscles training. Referring to  FIG. 9 , the user is lying on the floor and supporting the user&#39;s body by two arms, and each of the user&#39;s feet is stepping on one disc body ( 1 ) having no handgrip ( 2 ) on it to slide the disc body ( 1 ) forth and back on the floor and stretch the user&#39;s legs forth and back for training lower body muscles as leg muscles, thigh muscles and hip muscles. Please refer to  FIG. 10 , the handgrip ( 2 ) can be separated from the disc body ( 1 ) and attached to the floor by the two anti-slip mats ( 25 ) on two terminals, and the user can perform push-ups exercise safely by holding the handgrips ( 2 ) attaching to the floor due to friction generated between the anti-slip mats ( 25 ) and the floor. 
     Accordingly, the exercise slider of the present invention provides various training modes for exercising muscles of various part of the user&#39;s body such as arms, chest, abdomen, legs and hip and has effects on body shaping. In addition, the user can burn excess calories and achieve exercise efficiency as aerobic exercise by sliding the two disc body ( 1 ) of the present invention on the floor repeatedly. Furthermore, the handgrip ( 2 ) can be separated from the disc body ( 1 ) and the two disc bodies ( 1 ) can be piled up for storage which is convenient and space-saving. 
     According to the structures and embodiments above, the present invention has advantages as: 
     1. The exercise slider of the present invention has a smooth surface and an opposite rough surface, and the smooth surface or the rough surface is attached to the floor according to a status of the floor for generating a proper friction and providing a stably sliding movement on the floor; and thus the present invention achieves a safety exercise effect. 
     2. The exercise slider of the present invention has a handgrip having two terminals and two anti-slip mats on the two terminals respectively, and a proper friction is generated when the handgrip is attached to the floor by the two anti-slip mats on the two terminals which can provide safety and stably exercise effects for a user doing push-ups exercise. 
     3. The exercise slider of the present invention can provide various training modes by a single device to achieve effects of exercising various parts muscles of the body, shaping body curve and burning excess calories as aerobic exercise. 
     4. The exercise slider of the present invention has a simple structure, an inexpensive price and a small size, and is easily disassembled and piled up for storage; the user can exercise more conveniently without limitation of time and space when using the present invention.
