numbness while exercising

does any body know why my hands get numb while on the machines at the gym.  Also my feet sometimes get numb also.  I am a smoker and a 49 year female.

I'm pretty sure the numbness has to do with bad circulation in your hands....the same thing used to happen to me.....once you get into a routine of working out it will help your blood circulation.

Are you gripping the machines too tightly? if on a bike, move your arms and shae them some to keep the blood flowing. As far as the feet, I'm not sure
