Blind Woman Needs FUN cardio Workout!

MagnaFitness

Greetings!

I am a personal trainer and among my wide range of clients, I have several blind clients. There is no workout that my other clients do that cannot be adapted to these folks. I've even instructed them on how to run and several have run 5K races! Exercises that work great for the blind include:

Do this for time:
30 jumping jacks
5-20 push-ups (depending on strength)
50 buttkicks
5-20 dips off a chair or step
30 crunches
- take a nice long rest in between each set. Complete five sets of this and you will get your *kitten* kicked, your heart rate up and build strength.

If you'd like to chat more - feel free to message me directly at jhalstead@magnausa.com

Cheers!

This might sound crazy, but consider judo. I saw some AMAZING blind judo in the 2012 Paraolympics. Granted, these athletes have been training for decades, but they had to start somewhere. The matches start standing and the competitors each grab their opponent's uniform (regular judo does not start with the competitors having their grips), and then someone goes for a ride! It was incredibly inspiring, especially for a grappler like me, but should inspire anyone.

Take a dance class where you have a partner like ballroom, latin or country.

Beaded jump ropes make a sound as they hit the ground that tells you to jump. I cant do jump ropes that do not make the sound.

Also, dancing is a great idea.

Hello

I am also legally blind. I am thinking about buying a tandem bike so my husband & I can ride the bike together. Have you thought about a tandem bike? I also like to run on my threadmill on low speed. I also use my mobility cane when we go for hikes. I hope this helps.
