Re: Accessible Treadmill? This apartment complex doesn't have a life guard, people under 18,kids, aren't allowed to use the pool without adult supervision.I suspect the apartment complex is afraid of getting sued if someone got hurt. Especially when you consider that, here

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Actually Gean, sinse I used to scuba I really  don't see the pool safety thing, indeed before various circumstances back when i was doing my degree and before the pool closed I used to swim each week. Basically I'd mark out one lane for myself, usually t

Re: Accessible Treadmill? There are anti discrimination laws here in the US, and if I wanted to I could take them to task and gain access to the pool.The trouble is, I can easily understand where they are coming from. I can easily imagine situations that would be caused by my blindness

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Before I lost my vision, I used to stay in shape by swimming a mile every week. Unfortunately, the only swimming pool I have access to is the one owned by the apartment complex I live in and they won't allow me to use their pool for safety and liability re

Re: Accessible Treadmill? @Ambro, it's not a full sized trampoline, only a small one. I run on the spot and put one hand on the wall. being as the surface is springy I can lift my knees up which means the running is far harder than usual, I then do various exercises with a set of

Re: Accessible Treadmill?

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Yep Gean, I had a rowing machine at one point and it did a good job, though they can be rather noisey, I suppose I could consider getting one, but one advantage to using two sets of hand weights is that you can exercise different muscle groups of the upper body

Re: Accessible Treadmill?

Re: Accessible Treadmill? I've seen one or two with nets around them. I think--though I have no idea if this is the least bit true--this might be a relatively (as in, the past ~12-14 years) recent thing, in response to some minor scare about injury rates on netless trampolines. I

Re: Accessible Treadmill? I've never seen a trampoline with netting on the outside,but then again, I've only ever seen one full sized trampoline  and that was in the gym at school. to me it's basically just a glorified crashmat, though I will say the springy surface does mea

Re: Accessible Treadmill?

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Hi.Yes there is. I've jumped on a few myself; they're fun. The downside? They're large. They're for Gym settings and wouldn't really be useful at home, unless, you had a big wide space for one. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtop

Re: Accessible Treadmill?

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Hi,Aren't there trampolines with netting on the outside to prevent things such as running off the edge?  I've jumped on a few like that, --some of them with no springs so getting hurt was pretty much impossible. It was a tad bit larger than the &quo

Re: Accessible Treadmill?

Re: Accessible Treadmill? You know, maybe you could get an eliptical, those things are way more intense than tred mills, plus, while they do have controls, you most likely won't need them if you get the non electric ones, which aren't as bad as the non electric tredmills sin

Re: Accessible Treadmill? Dark, you're super smart. I was just hoping somebody knew of a model so I could buy it off Amazon and avoid talking to people in general. Guess it's a Walmart trip for me to either scope out a model to order or buy it then and there. I don't re

Re: Accessible Treadmill?
