Numb feet on elliptical

[Smalling]

Why do my feet go numb after 20 - 30 minutes on the elliptical?? I'll never get past the 30 minute hump if I can't solve this.

I was hoping it was my shoes, but using a very different pair didn't solve it.

your shoes were done up too tight.

You dont need shoes on a X-trainer, so as a test. take them off and see how it feels.

More than likely you are letting your heels lift up while doing it... To do the elliptical properly, you need to keep your heels DOWN at all timse... try it You're going to get a more of a workout than you thought

I have the same problem! My shoes are never too tight. Try putting more of your weight in the middle of your foot whenever possible. This has helped me.

I don't think it's tight shoes, but it very well could be lifting up the heels!

Thanks, I'll concentrate on Foot Down and weight in the middle for my next workout!
