Turbo Fire Question

I've recently started Turbo Fire..

Unfortunately, my living room has carpet and I find it hard to do most of the pivoting b/c my shoes are getting stuck..and it puts pressure on my knees when that happens.

So, I guess my question is what type of shoes did you find to be the best when you were doing this workout?

The DVD says crosstrainers.... but I want to know your fave brand and style...etc..

THANKS in advance!

    I do it on carpet and just don't pivot so much.

    I've been doing Turbo Fire for two months barefoot on my carpet. The only time I wear shoes is when the resistance bands are needed around my feet.

    I normally do it on my living room rug and don't have any problems pivoting. I wear the New Balance Minimus Shoes. Love them. Oh, and my rug is fairly thin so that probably helps too.

    I read somewhere that you can wrap duct tape around your shoes at the balls of your feet. This helps give you a little more slide on the carpet.

    I do Turbo, Chalean X, etc all BAREFOOT. Ever since I started martial arts I've discovered that I love working out barefoot. Try it! And good luck!

    Except for the workouts where I need to wrap a resistance band around my foot, I do them in my socks, I found in my trainers on carpet I was having the same problems.

    I've done it barefoot and in socks and I don't so much like it barefoot because I find it too slippery. But I did get the Nike lunar and I love it
