When you start a song, foot is in the air, and it comes down, and when it hits, you start the music. And you continue note as your foot goes up, therefore it is an upbeat motion to the top position, then it goes down, therefore the downbeat. The first downbeat motion your foot does has no music.
I don't know for sure, but when a conductor uses his baton, I think he goes from top position and you start the music.
Cutting to the point, attached is a picture from a book 1. It shows you starting the whole note with foot coming down which seems incorrect. That would mean "1" is in the air, "and" at the bottom, and "2" would be at the top. It's really reversed.
