Is it safe to work out barefoot? - The Tech Edvocate The Tech Edvocate Better Proprioception: When you work out barefoot, your body receives more sensory feedback from the ground ... How to run your first Spartan Race.
Working out barefoot is the only way for me. It helps having a home gym, since there are no issues with other people's germs. I am very careful not to keep my feet in line with any weight plates I am carrying so if I drop them, they don't land on my feet. The shoes I used to wear for workouts would provide zero protection if anything was dropped on them anyway.
I work out barefoot all the time. I don't have a home gym, but I do have dumbbells of assorted weights. Never dropped one on me. If I ever live in a place with enough room, I'd love to get a leg press, what I thought was called a rowing machine, an adductor, and an abductor. And a treadmill, if I could get a nonelectric and a foot-friendly one.
