Accessible Fitness, more choices for more people

Fitness has always been a concern with regard to both mental and physical health regardless of age, gender, or any other variables that make each one of us unique. And for those in the blind community, fitness is every bit as much—if not more—important.

Exercise for the visually impaired is something that should be incorporated into a weekly, if not daily, routine for a variety of reasons that are both similar and different from people within the sighted community. For those with total loss of sight as well as for those who are low sighted, a lack of regular exercise can bring on a host of other issues, including weight gain, sluggishness, and perhaps worst of all for many, insomnia or a circadian rhythm that has been thrown completely off track.

A quality workout done at the right time of day and at the right pace to meet your unique physical and mental needs is just what the doctor may have forgotten to order. For many blind people, fitness has been a challenge: without someone to guide you and without the ability to drive yourself to the gym, it becomes obvious why so many visually impaired individuals give up—but with the BlindAlive line of Fitness Workouts for blind people, you’ll never have to depend on anyone else again.

Yoga and Strength Training with wieghts for blind people along with a variety of other cardiovascular exercises help our bodies stay toned, help us gain muscle mass and lose weight, but most of all, can help lead a blind person away from a sense of helplessness.

Are you ready to sweat? Come get healthy and leave all your notions of not being able to get fit due to your visual impairment behind with BlindAlive!

Getting My Money’s Worth

February 18, 2018  /  Lisa Salinger

Very few things equal that feeling of satisfaction when I know I’ve made a wise purchase at a good price, and then that I’ve really gotten my money’s worth from it. At BlindAlive, we want you to get your money’s worth from any workouts you purchase from us. We want you to feel that satisfaction of knowing you’ve used a thing to its fullest , and achieved the best possible benefits.

Here are some simple steps to make that happen. You may want to consider following all of these, or selecting those which best meet your needs.

1 Put your thinking cap on. Decide what kind of workout or workouts you want to help you reach your goals. If you’re simply not sure, you can contact us for help and suggestions.

2 Make a plan. It’s obvious, of course, but a workout only helps when it is used. Plan when, where, and how often you will do your workout.

3 Make your purchase. Once you have done this, be sure to download all elements of the workout. For the vast majority, we provide text and audio descriptions. Following these will help to ensure that you are doing each exercise correctly.

4 Talk to us. You can reach us via our website, on FaceBook, or Twitter. When you follow us on social media, you will receive items we find motivational and helpful.

5 Listen too. We have a bimonthly podcast and a weekly blog. While not every topic will resonate with you, we think there’s enough to keep you inspired on your journey to improved health.

6 Reach out. We have an email list where you can interact with others of our community. You can chat about particular workouts, or any health-related topic of interest to you.

If you have additional tips, or you’d like to share a success story with us, please let us know. We’d love to hear from you!
