I wear them during Focus T25 but no shoes for PiYo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274363 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:21:51 +0000 Peasinapod 2274363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I checked out the program you said you were doing and it's pretty high impact. Some at home programs I wouldn't bother with shoes but this one I think shoes would be helpful. </p> <p>I've book marked her 4.0 challenge and will give it a try! I've been running which is great for keeping weight down and me feeling good but does nothing for toning my little mummy tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274357 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:15:35 +0000 Alivoo01 2274357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked out at home, I didn't wear shoes, but I also worked out on carpet. If I worked out on hardwood floors, I'm sure it'd hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274306 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:37:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2274306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I'm usually on my hardwood...my arches hurt. As do the joint on the side of my feet by my pinky toe...maybe I'm just a wimp lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274200 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 00:01:15 +0000 PawPrints 2274200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I exercise barefoot (on carpet and an exercise mat). It's good for building strength in your calves and feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274040 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 17:39:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2274040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: I LOVE it! It's really easy to stay motivated. She's just a regular person, not a pro fitness instructor or anything so sometimes she's having just as hard of a time doing the workout as you are. Its only been 4 weeks and I've lost inches and I've noticed improvement not just on the program but also in yoga and when playing with/lifting my kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274032 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 17:22:50 +0000 ldh112 2274032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: how do you like the program? I've not heard of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274021 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 17:11:58 +0000 honeybear 2274021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I hope it helps! I don't golf, but I keep a ball handy just for this purpose. It feels really good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274020 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 17:10:20 +0000 KT326 2274020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely wear shoes! A good pair of workout shoes definitely help support not just your feet but your entire body. My trainer always told me if I was going to invest in anything it should be a great pair of shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2274002 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 16:56:12 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2274002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to exercise in bare feet until mine started hurting too. I started wearing tennis shoes and it made such a difference! I'd try it next time you work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2273991 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 16:40:45 +0000 jh524 2273991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: the support in shoes will probably help ;) but I always exercise in shoes, even if in the house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2273973 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 16:25:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2273973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: oh a golf ball "massage" sounds wonderful...thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2273965 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 16:15:36 +0000 honeybear 2273965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I used to dance and many dance shoes have no padding, so most floors don't bother my feet. That said, if your feet hurt, I think the prudent course is to go swimming or biking instead of doing the workout program and give your feet a chance to recover and then wear shoes for a bit when you go back to it, working down to less padded shoes and then maybe just socks. </p> <p>Also, standing on something like this whenever you get a chance: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/zenzation-purair-balance-disc-blue/-/A-10877723?ci_src=17588969&#038;ci_sku=10877723&#038;ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&#038;AFID=google_pla_df&#038;CPNG=pla_sports+shopping&#038;adgroup=balance+trainer_sc&#038;LID=14pgs&#038;KID=6da4ceba-7f33-469c-838b-6828fc2b1d7a&#038;kpid=10877723&#038;gclid=Cj0KEQjwx_WuBRDJ7tSK2-W0pJkBEiQAEWgR8K4DOj54icH1JTvpcbh45rwmWM0jF5KeB1523_eXINgaAvJX8P8HAQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/zenzation-purair-balance-disc-blue/-/A-10877723?ci_src=17588969&#038;ci_sku=10877723&#038;ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&#038;AFID=google_pla_df&#038;CPNG=pla_sports+shopping&#038;adgroup=balance+trainer_sc&#038;LID=14pgs&#038;KID=6da4ceba-7f33-469c-838b-6828fc2b1d7a&#038;kpid=10877723&#038;gclid=Cj0KEQjwx_WuBRDJ7tSK2-W0pJkBEiQAEWgR8K4DOj54icH1JTvpcbh45rwmWM0jF5KeB1523_eXINgaAvJX8P8HAQ</a> or rolling a golf ball under your feet for a few minutes several times a day should help your feet feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-workouts-and-shoes#post-2273907 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 15:22:39 +0000 alphagam84 2273907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely.
