Am I the only person on the planet that is exercising barefoot? I absolutely hate shoes and I have hated them since I was a child. When I have to go out I wear my Croc sandals that are open. Even in winter! I do my elliptical barefoot and have no problems and I also do DVD's of Zumba, pilates etc and I haven't had any problems. Am I just totally weird?? :blushing:

    Hahaha! I love it.
    I do this as well when I am playing wii tennis and boxing.
    Be careful when using the gym stuff though!

    Hey if you can do it, go for it. There is no rule that you have to wear shoes. Some people will say you have to, I do because I like the support they give, but my wife hates shoes so I know what things are like for you.

    I wish my floor allowed me to exercise with no shoes, I'm in the process of refinishing and right now I have an old tile floor that needs to be replaced, lots of broken bits. I found the steadiest place to work out on.

    I do my kettlebell dvd's barefoot and some of the p90x dvd's barefoot. My cardio machine has grips on the foot pads that hurt if I go barefoot.

    Sometimes I feel like with the shoes on I can't get the right grip either (I know-sounds backwards) but you can't really "feel" the floor and your foot position as well. Did that sound like a good reason? LOL!:laugh:

    I've been doing Hip Hop Abs and strength training barefoot at home. I figure if it's not high impact, no reason that you have to wear shoes. I am barefoot most of the day at home, too. I just keep flip flops by all of my doors for going outside.
