Re: Eliptical Question
This happens to me sometimes. I just pick up one foot and use my arms to power through the machine, moving my tingling foot around. This works for me.
Also from what I have read extended steady state cardio, ie 1 hour on an elliptical on a single resistance setting, is a pretty terrible workout. I believe that doing intervals of some type at a higher level of resistance for shorter periods will help you burn more calories overall. |

Re: Eliptical Question
i don't do the elliptical, but this happens usually when your shoes don't fit right for whatever reason or your socks are bad. I would try a few things.
1. Don't tie your shoes so tight. 2. Thick expensive socks, or even double sock. 3. Get new running shoes and try them out before you buy them for good (if they will let you) |

Re: Eliptical Question
The ellipticals I use don't facilitate a stationary footing. It's more like a cross between a stair machine and an elliptical. That means I stand on only the ball of my foot at some point during the motion.

Re: Eliptical Question
This used to happen to me when I ran, and is one of the reasons I gave running up.
My experience was that, after a few miles, my toes started to get numb and/or tingle. I experimented with different shoes and tying the laces tighter or looser. At one point, I had the laces so loose that the shoes barely stayed on. I also tried different running methods, like focusing on landing on the balls of my feet. But nothing ever worked. Eventually, I chalked up the whole thing to poor circulation. Now, I use the elliptical machine, generally for a full hour (and half of that time I do an interval program, trying to mimic real sprints intermittently). I never experience the numbness or tingling sensation. Wish I had some answers, but I don't. This is just my experience. |
