RE: sued for what?
On the working out without shoes, I saw this really interesting show about feet and shoe development on TechTV yesterday. They actually said that the foot is better able to compensate for variations in the surface you are on (probably more relevant for runners) when working out barefoot. The foot is designed to sense the surface and your knees and joints bend differently to accomodate. Now they weren't saying to go out and run a marathon with barefeet, although they did show a guy that is doing just that.
But they are trying to make changes to our foot wear to allow the foot to use its natural ability.
The interesting thing about it was the barefoot runner they showed has never had a running related injury of any kind.
Ok, so that being said, I do wear shoes while working out except while doing FitPrimes From the Ground Up. I really enjoy it. I think its low impact so you're not bouncing on your feet, its a nice change of pace.
And about Fitprime, the production quality is not nearly as nice as Cathe, they are still fun effective workouts and provide a nice change of pace. I rarely do my Firm workouts anymore, I do mostly Cathe and then I'll throw in some FitPrimes when I want an easier cardio day but not heavy weights.
The cardio is not nearly as intense or fun as cathe.
