When doing exercise DVDs in your house on carpeting..

I wear socks & tennis shoes. I was doing the 30DS barefoot and realized my posture was horrible. Wearing shoes provided support and helped maintain better position for a lot of the exercises.

Socks. I do find it's easier to do workout with shoes on. I have a shoes only being used indoor, so if I feel like it, I can put those on. But I usually just wear socks.

I wearing my running shoes because I have weak ankles and I find there's less chance of injury for me that way. I wish I could wear my exersteps... they are so comfortable... but I don't trust myself with curved bottom shoes on carpet! LOL

I do it barefoot. Most exercise shoes make my feet numb and wide shoes are too wide, my feet slide. I use Vibrams for outside exercise but am barefoot inside!

I also wear shoes, as I need as much support for my joints as I can get!

I go barefoot simply because we don't wear shoes indoors, whatever the reason.

I tried with my sneakers on but my feet hurt bad so I now go with socks. I found it a lot easier.

I used to go barefoot, but I learned I am more stable and have less harsh impact (during something intense like Plyometrics) if I'm supported by my shoes.. I've never gone barefoot during a workout since.

I wear sneakers, if not I dont have enough traction and I slip a lot.

I tired with shoes and without and ended up finding my five figners are perfect! I also do it on wood floors and move to the carpet when I have to do ab stuff. My feet would hurt so badly with shoes on and I could not do the squats barefoot.

I wear socks & my Asics running shoes. It puts me in an exercising calorie burning frame of mind. (but I do hate doing Zumba on carpet w/shoes)

I use EA Sports Active and I do wear shoes & socks inside. My only reasoning is I get into the mindset of "Workout time!" when I put on my tennis shoes... because I have a pair of shoes that are strictly for working out. My other tennis shoes are for work. Other than that, I wear flip-flops. So putting on my workout shoes is the same as putting on my workout clothes... it's just getting me into the mindset.

When I lived in my old apartment that had carpeting I use to go barefoot, but then I messed up my ankles so I started wearing sneakers. It helped me do the moves easier, too. Especially like jumping jacks.

I go barefoot because I hate shoes and socks, so never wear them indoors.

i think it depends on what kind of exercise your doing.
for me i use gym shoes when im going to do something that involves jumping
because if your barefoot you have a higher chance of injury
but when i do yoga or pilates no shoes
