if you work out in your home

Jenny952

I started doing exercise videos, and I've been doing them barefoot in my living room, but my feet and ankles are getting sore.  I don't have any shoes that are clean enough to wear in the house, so should I buy a brand new pair?  If you work out in your home, especially in your living room, what footwear do you wear?  I suppose I could wash my running shoes, but will have the same problem in a couple months when it gets nicer outside.

I work out in my sneakers.  I just got them earlier this month and wear them out every once in a while.

You should always wear proper shoes when exercising (unless doing yoga.)  I wear my cross trainers when I am working out in my house.  Also, I NEVER wear my work out shoes (runners or cross trainers) outside of the activity they were purchased for.  I have street shoes that I use for everyday activities. This will increase the time you will be able to use them, as many shoes should be switched out based on mileage or time used.

Cross trainers would work best.  Buy a pair and use them for in house only

You should always wear proper footwear when exercising, even if it's in your house. Cross trainers are your best bet.

I don't do videos anymore, but when I did I had a separate pair of shoes I used that were inside only.

Definitely wear shoes. I almost always use my pair inside, but when I do wear them to run outside, I wash them immediately.

I work out on a yoga mat, and it really seems to absorb the shock and be quite comfortable. I bought my yoga mat online (pink ) and it wasn't expensive at all.
