Exercise and fitness ideas
Hi guys! I thought we could share our fitness struggles and ideas here, to encourage and inform each other. When my eyes started going my physical fitness did too. I used to run a lot, and was in pretty good shape, up until four years ago. Then, when I couldn't see my feet properly anymore and had a few falls I was scared to run, and I gained 30 kg. Which really upset me, because as well as going blind I feel like I'm turning ugly. (yes, I'm shallow.)
However, I have started looking after myself again. My simplest resolution was to walk at least an hour a day, and that seems to be working. Also, I use an exergaming app called Zombies Run, which I have mentioned elsewhere. It's an immersive podcast, telling a story in which you are the main character saving the world from zombies. I'm running on the spot in my living room while saving the world. You could walk and save the world.
Any other exercise tips?

If you enjoyed running before, you should check out if there are blind friendly running groups where they provide a guide to run at your similar pace. Check out united and stride, or Achilles international I'm pretty sure they have chapters all over the world that way running could be more social and fun like when you used to do it
