Pistols are so much easier barefoot, although I have flat or flipper feet lol, not so good for running – maybe that’s why I hate running. Gotta love the light footed kitties though, so graceful 😀

Cheers

I also run in flat shoes not the cushy type running shoes, don’t have a problem with that either. I have really high arches and am able to land lightly on the balls of my feet, learned it from my cat
😉

I started working out barefoot, or wearing my Vibram Five Fingers a good while ago, as I read some research that it improves the overall control of the whole foot, especially in balance. I don’t do any high impact exercises though as I think this, unless you are used to it, can cause pain and some problems in other joints. There is a big movement at the minute towards barefoot running, but this is something I would definitly avoid. We have been wearing shoes our whole lives, so our feet are not adapted to runnig barefoot, UNLESS, we are doing so on soft uneven terrain like sand or even grass.

Anyway, if it hurts your feet, you can gradually introduce it. BUT there is no problem with working out with training shoes on either, it’s just my indoor preference.

Cheers
Marianne

Do you think that is better than with shoes? I tried working out barefoot and my toes were hurting. Is that strange? Will it get better if I keep doing it? Thanks!

Hi Sarah,

Keep on trying and soon, you will eb putting me to shame, I am sure 🙂

How about I put together a couple of videos for my KB warm up and cool down, so you can see it in action. Also, I will be getting some handweight as I do have some workout ideas for them. I have a video I did a while back on exercises with the stability ball and Dumbbells, which might give you some ideas in the mean time. Once I get my dumbbells I will be able to be more creative.

Hope this helps in some way 😀

M

Thanks for all the great workouts you produce. Although I don’t…actually ” can’t ” LOL,, do all your workouts, you always inspire me to try. My question is about your warmups and cool downs. Can you please share what you would do as a warmup for a kettle bell workout for eg and your cool down. I also know your not asking for workout suggestions 🙂 but I would love to see you produce a short but intense workout using hand weights one day. You seem to have such a great imagination for making exercise fun, and the fun and variety is what keeps me away from the cookie jar.

thanks for reading
x Sarah

Yes Heather, that’s why I left out the push up LOL, my shoulders were on fire enough as it was. I try to do the side squats with a little explosive up and over movement, so your static leg gets a real burn. Good numbers though, well done with the plank climbers AFTER the burpees too 🙂

Cheers

Did this one this morning!!! I did my TGU’s first for 10 min and then followed up with this! Unfortunately when I wrote it down I had burpee’s with push-up…I thought you were being very mean with push-ups then planks and shortly after spiderman push-ups ;). Great workout – very sweaty! I must have been doing the side squats wrong or not with enough intensity because I wasn’t getting a quad burn. I’ll have to do better next time!
My numbers
Burpees with push ups (7,8,9)
Plank Climber (alternating leading arm) (16,16,17)
Squat Tap Tap (20,21,21)
Reptile Push Ups (15,17,15)
Side Squats (right) (17,18,17)
Side Squats (left) (18,17,17)
Mountain Climbers (47,48,50) both legs= one rep
