	2003/03/02, 12:22 PM A friend says shes having this issue: Shes very petite and works out but when she is on the stair stepper she said her toes turn purple and sometimes the front of her chins do also. She said it feels numb. Has anyone ever experienced this?

My friend who had the same problem suggested taking an aspirin before i work out. This actually helped me a lot. It eased ciculation oh but sometimes it still happens when I wear the wrong shoes.

Hmmmm I don't know if you want to do that but this really shows that the problem is caused by the shoes. As the other say, try changing shoes or even to untie a little the shoe laces can help! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
