Working out at home - shoes or no shoes?
Replies

I used to work out wearing trainers - it felt strange to exercise barefoot, apart from for yoga But then I got annoyed by how much my feet would slip around on the laminate. Switched to barefoot, no problem - now I'll never go back!0

Shoes are outerwear as far as I'm concerned. I never wear them in my house.0

It depends on my mood. I usually wear shoes when I do my workout videos, but if I'm using the Wii Fit, I don't wear shoes. I also go to a zumba class, and one person there ends up taking her shoes and socks off and goes barefoot. Depends on what you want to do.0

I did Insanity, but I had to wear shoes because my carpet is soft and slippery and I couldn't do the drill exercises.0

i wear shoes when i do zumba or cardio dance, something where i'm jumping around a lot and running from side to side, mainly for ankle support. if you're not afraid of rolling your ankle by landing wrong on the butt-kicks or jump ropes in 30DS then i'd say go for it barefoot.0

I wear Vibram fivefinger shoes0

I had this exact question, then I tried it without shoes and my balance was off and I felt like my feet were sliding. So now I stick with shoes, i think it just depends on which one you are more comfortable with.0

Shoes. I have foot and knee issues and need the stability.0

I don't do the 30 day shred, but I have done other videos in the past, and I've never worn shoes. I find it more comfortable not to.0

Barefoot most of the time. I tried shoes with 30 DS and found it actually hurt my knees more. If it is the treadmill I am wearing shoes. I have carpet in the areas that I workout. If I had harder floors I might wear shoes.0

I do the 30-Day Shred barefoot always.0

My husband just went downstairs to lift - in his slippers! He usually wears Chuck T's.
Me: running shoes most of the time, but I am trying my five fingers for lifting days since I usually warm up on the elliptical (no running), and barefoot lifting (with a little bit of extra grip from the Vibrams) is a lot easier than trying to balance in my running shoes.0
