“Hi, I have a couple of questions.. I'm looking at your level one workout, what are incline push-ups? i've googled/ youtubed them, but some have the feet higher and some have the hands higher, which do you mean? Also, slightly random, but when you're working out at home what do you wear on your feet? do you put proper running shoes on or do it barefoot? Thanks! x”

Weird. I’ve always been taught that incline push-ups are when the hands are higher than the floor (on a block, some books, a counter, etc.) and a decline push-up is when the feet are higher. That’s how I use the words.

And I workout barefoot at home. But I have strong feet and ankles and, after years of dance, I know how to properly land jumps and exercises so I don’t put strain on my knees and other joints. To me, it feels really weird working out in shoes (except things like treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, etc.) and sometimes I’m tempted to slide my shoes off while stretching at the gym.
