  • Weird Elliptical Question

    My toes always go numb after twenty minutes on the elliptical! They feel fuzzy and it's hard to concentrate because it's so uncomfortable. Is there something wrong with me?

    I feel that way when I work out if my shoes are too tight or I've tied them too tight. Could that be it?

    When you begin with the end in mind, you eliminate confusion along the way.

      I get that too if I'm unconsciously standing on tiptoes. Try letting your heels lift a little bit less.

        Get better shoes. I can tell mine are wearing down if they start doing that... so I end up moving my feet around while I'm exercising to keep the circulation normal. It also has happened to me from having them tied too tight.

          I have brand new Nike running shoes...so it must be that they are too tight! I bet I AM standing on my tippy toes more than I realize. Thank you!

            mine do that too sometimes...i think it is because our feet remain stationary on the footpads and press against the front as well....try shifting them from time to time and see if that helps.....
