Constant pressure on a specific part of your body will cause the blood flow to decrease. In this instance, the balls of your feet have prolonged pressure while you use the elliptical and that can lead to a tingling or numb feeling in your feet, particularly your toes.3 If you’re looking to avoid it, then you may want to try for a better fitting shoe – usually a bigger size than what you have. You could also alternate pedaling backward for a couple of minutes until the sensation goes away. Watch where your weight goes with each step – move heel to toe rather than putting all the pressure on the balls of your feet. If nothing seems to be working, perhaps decreasing the time spent on the elliptical is your best bet.
