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!

July Discounts and Brand New Program!

July 03, 2018  /  Mel Scott

You asked for more yoga and we created a brand new flow for you. This one is strengthening and soothing. The movements are combined with breathing, which strengthens your entire body while sending oxygen to every cell. There are no standing poses, so once you are on the floor, you can stay there. The guided relaxation at the end will leave you feeling calm and alert. This one is ideal for use in the morning, evening, or anytime in between.

For the month of July, this new workout, Floor Yoga For Strength and Peace, will be at a reduced price as will all our programs. July is a big month for conventions, and we are participating by offering you special low prices. This is a great month to get those workouts you’ve been eyeing, but just haven’t yet purchased.

Low prices will be reflected in the Eyes-Free Fitness® app, as well as on the website. We are waiting for the last approval from Apple for the changes to take place but we will keep you updated once the sale and new workout is ready for iOS!

We are coming up on Podcast 100. I admit that I am proud of that. Never in a million years did I think that 100 podcasts were in my future. It is funny to listen to Podcast number one and compare it to Podcast 100. It has been so much fun! Podcast 100 will be a special one, so make sure to listen on or after the release date, July 11, 2018. Did you know that all podcasts are archived on the website? You can listen live or download them from our podcasts page.

If you enjoy our podcasts, blogs, and programs, we have added a Donate button to our website to allow you to give an amount of any size to help our work move forward. You can also help by sharing this resource with your friends and social networks.

Good Health to You,
Mel
