Cardio 2- Foot pain?

Does anyone get reeeeally achy feet with cardio 2? I'm trying to determine whether it's just normal for me to get pain in my feet or if it's just a sign I need new shoes.

    New shoes worked for me. All that constant moving and jumping will take a toll - my feet were hurting too. I was wearing just simple tennis shoes and I finally bought a pair of cross-trainers from Puma. They are super comfy and cute! Helped my feet big time.

    My feet cramp up quite a bit-- especially with the cardio dvds. Jillian talked about foot pain/cramping on a recent podcast. She said it could be a number of things: the wrong shoes, dehydration, not enough potassium, etc. I can't remember everything she said, but check out the Jillian Michaels Show podcast-- she gives a lot of great advice.

    Seems strange, but have you tried working out without shoes? I had a lot of pain in my feet when I did cross fit, elliptical and other things and kept taking my shoes off. I now have vibrams, ugly shoes, but works for me.

    Interesting - I actually only do the DVDs barefoot. Not so great with the resistance band part, but otherwise, it's a nice switch. I do a lot of cardio outside of the DVDs, in which I am wearing shoes, so this is nice. PLUS, I do these in the morning before starting the day, and barefoot is just easier.
