Sculpting with Weights Level One CD Art
Sculpting with Weights Level One was our first fully-described workout for the blind and visually impaired. We created it for both men and women with visual impairments. There are 4 segments in this audio workout: a warm up, a standing leg and upper body workout, floor exercises, and a cool down. It is approximately 35 minutes long. The equipment needed is an exercise mat, a wall or chair for balance, and hand weights. Beginners may choose to use 2, 3, and 5 pound weights. Men may want to use heavier weights. Increasing the weights makes it more challenging as you get stronger. The beauty is that nobody needs to know how much weight you are using, because you can do it alone. That is my favorite part.

Your weight should be balanced on the heel of your right foot and the ball of your left foot. Bend your right knee until it nearly touches the floor. Keeping your weight in your right heel and the ball of your left foot, come back to a standing position. Repeat all lunges for this side before switching to the left leg. Remember to use a wall or furniture for balance and to help you maintain proper form if needed.
