Question:
I have recently begun using a stair machine for fat loss. I have found that the front half of both feet and all my toes fall asleep and go completely numb after about 15 minutes! The shoes are new, the toe box seems wide enough, and the shoes are flexible. Any ideas as to what the cause might be?
Answer:
While stair machine (and elliptical trainer) are both excellent for cardiovascular training and fat loss, numbness in the toes and feet is a very common problem with the stair machine and the elliptical trainer. It is a lack of circulation from the constant pressure put on the feet and has really nothing to do with your shoes.
You know how your arms falls asleep if you lean on it for too long? The same thing is happening in your feet and toes. I’ve encountered this situation myself before.
There are several good solutions to this problem.
1. Take a break every 10 minutes just to shake out your feet and get circulation moving again. Step off the machine to do this then jump right back on.
Most stair machines have pause programming built in so when you’re not on the machine, it’ll actually stop the program and let you jump back on and pick up right where you left off.
2. Lift your feet off the pedals every few minutes while you are using the stair machine. Taking a few steps off the stair machine pedals every few minutes or so should do the trick. To do this, when you’re pushing down with the left foot, lift the right foot off and move your foot around and vice versa.
This is an easy way to keep your foot circulation going while still keeping yourself going on the stair machine.
These two methods should help you avoid the numbness in your feet completely and allow you to persue your fat loss goals.
Just as an aside, if losing fat fast is your main goal, I highly recommend interval training to be your main method of cardio. It’s more intense than straight-through cardio and will actually help solve your numbness issues by breaking up the steady pressure on your feet.
From the day you get your first job, you begin working towards retirement without even realizing it. Every paycheck you receive has social security taken out of it. Once you reached your late thirties, your main goal in life is retirement and by the time you hit sixty, you will be making definite plans for retiring.
No one wants to enter retirement just to lose their health and eventually their life. Everyone has plans to live longer and enjoy themselves. In order to do that, make sure you stay active! It’s not a time to spend your day sitting on the couch, watching television and eating. That type of life style diminishes your retirement years one day at a time. Too many people spend those last years of retirement in a bedridden state, suffering from an incurable illness.
As you choose how you will spend these years, remember that they can be the most rewarding and fulfilling years of your life. There are a multitude of things a person in retirement can do to stay active. You can volunteer your services in many different areas of your community, whether it is by using your knowledge or by simply sharing your love with someone less fortunate that you. Some folks enjoy working part time during their earlier retirement years.
If you want to make your retirement years fulfilling, you must stay healthy by eating a nutritious diet and exercising every day. Anti aging products help you feel young. These things will keep you feeling younger and help you enjoy life even more.
Really your diet shouldn’t change much in your retirement years if you have followed a healthy diet throughout your lifetime. If you are less active than before, cut back on your portion sizes, and eat six small meals a day to maintain a balanced blood sugar.
A great idea for snacking is to prepare a tray of different fruits and vegetables early in the morning. You can use cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and celery. Include a variety of fruits and berries, too. Put it in the refrigerator where you can snack from it whenever you get the urge. You won’t gain weight, and you’ll be boosting your immune system. Make sure you are getting plenty of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants by drinking juice from the acai and goji berries.
Exercise every day. Walking, swimming and yoga are great exercises for retirement. Purchase an exercise video that will get your heart rate up to do on days when you can’t get outside.
Use anti-aging creams that include anti-oxidants such as goji or acai berries, vitamin E or aloe vera. These ingredients contain a high amount of anti-oxidants that will eliminate the effect of free radicals on your skin. The added advantage is that they will make your skin supple and soft.
Now that you’ve reached retirement age, a whole new world of possibilities are open before you. Look for ways that you can influence and help people in your community. Stay active, be productive and thoroughly enjoy your retirement years. After all, you deserve it!
