Numb Feet

FATTMATT · 02-23-2008, 10:10 PM

I love using the elliptical post workout... although after about 10-12 minutes my feet go numb. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem - I have been asking around and not gotten anything on it. I even went through different shoes to see if support was an issue - NOT... lol

I get the same thing, its annoying. I just try not standing flat footed for a bit and it helps a tad bit.

I know shoes arent my problem I can kick them off and put them on with little resistance

the other thing suggested was:

You're probably supporting your weight almost fully on the balls of your feet, which is easy on the elliptical because you're not performing the same movement as walking or running, so you don't have to walk heel-toe. Try to concentrate on keeping your heels in contact with the foot pads

Good idea on the body position.. feet that is. I can say that I do stand on the balls of my feet and not use my heel.

thanks for the post
