It has been just 3 days since I started going back to the gym, and my past 2 days ended up with very hectic, lazy workouts. I had lots of energy to start out on treadmill, but after 20 minutes or so I get so tired and feel so dreaded to do the next (elliptical) workouts. Even though I don’t feel like it, I do the elliptical anyway. I just don’t feel great about it. Ugh…

But today was different. I felt so much energy before, during, and even after I left the gym!
Thanks to MotionTraxx, I was able to finish my elliptical workout with a GREAT feelings

For elliptical training, I’d like to recommend the following MotionTraxx episodes:

• Drop a Jeans Size ’09 – Intervals #1-#3
• You Can Do It: Lose 10Lbs – Intervals #1-#3 (I listened to Interval #1 today )

I haven’t listened to “UPshift” (part 1-3) yet, but they seem like good episodes to listen to while working out on elliptical machine.

Speaking of elliptical exercising, does anybody feel numb on your toes during elliptical workouts?

I DO!!

I feel great working out for 20 minutes on the machine, then I feel numbness on my toe. I  don’t feel right about this. So I did a little bit of research. According to EZineArticles.com, the numb toes while you are on a elliptical machine is caused by circulation. “The low impact nature of an elliptical trainer is the result of your feet never leaving the foot pedals. While great for your knees and other joints, it’s what can cause your feet to lose sensation.“

The article has 2 suggestions for this type of problem:

1. Promote circulation by wiggling your toes every so often during your workout. It also suggests to “simply rock your foot from heel to toe on the foot pedal of the elliptical trainer as you exercise.”
2. Avoid excessively long workouts. Keep it between 30 to 45 minutes.
