Re: [BlindHandyMan] Workout Equipment?

maybe a very simple bike and a manual treadmill so you don't have to 
fiddle with screens and settings.

Claudia, I have a Schwinn, Airdyne and like 
it.  I don't use any of the electric stuff.  They 
have been around for years and last a long 
time.  With this bike, you don't have to set any tension.

I have a weight room in my basement, or maybe I should say that my basement is 
a weight room, as it is full of equipment.  I'm a firm believer in working the 
body to maintain vitality.  I'm over 60 years old, but I don't particularly 
want to look or feel like it.  Here
is my thoughts on bikes vs tread mills.  Bikes allow for an easier, less 
intrusive workout.  A treadmill will usually give you a more intensive workout. 
 Now, the thing about these observations, is that it is totally based on the 
person working out.  Doing either is a hundred times better than doing nothing.

  Hi,

  What types of equipment would be good, for someone who is totally blind, to 
purchase?
  I'm looking for a bike & treadmill so any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Workout Equipment?

[Blaine Deutscher]

you're talking to a person who uses these on a daily bases. the one problem 
that a lot of tredmills have now are they are touch screen, it's rare to 
find a machine that you can navigate by yourself, unless you mark the 
buttons that you want to use. Once you have the buttons marked they are easy 
to use. As for a bike well that is usually do it yourself by setting the 
tention for what you're pushing. most bikes will have a knob on the front of 
it that you turn either left or right to set the tention. If you're looking 
for weights I would recomand something like the boeflex, this machine is 
compact and you can do everything all in one. Unless you know your way 
around the gym that you set up and have a little space then feel free to get 
more equipment like a bentch press, leg press, ... most machines come with 
two in one or three or four in one so that is a bonus. If I had the space 
and the extra room I would consider getting weight equipment to work out 
with but I go to the Universrity gym and work out there.  Talk to you later.

Hi,

What types of equipment would be good, for someone who is totally blind, to 
purchase?
I'm looking for a bike & treadmill so any suggestions would be helpful.

Any type of the two will do. All you have to do is mark the touch pad.
