Legs going numb when exercising?!

Question: Legs going numb when exercising.?

I use an exercise bike daily for 40 minutes.

When I get up, my butt and legs are numb and tingly. Is this normal.?

I do have a disability called fibromyalgia. I guess what I'm wondering is if when people who do not have my disability exercise on an exercise bike, do their legs/butt go numb and tingly for about 20-30 mins after, or does that only happen to me because of my disability.?

Answers:

You get numb because your body is sitting in one place and stationary and bc your legs are moving, when you get up they get all wobbly while the blood flows back to its places.Health Question & Answer

No, it's not just because of your disability. My feet and lower legs especially will go numb after a while on the elliptical, treadmill, or bike. I'm not sure why, I've only deduced that it's not my shoes or socks at this point. My butt almost always goes numb on the bike, I think it's just sitting for an extended period of time. Sometimes adjusting the seat helps.Health Question & Answer
