[BlindTlk] Exercise

[Humberto Avila]

I personally don't really like the word "Exercise." It makes it seem 
like a dawnting chore that must be accomplished with certain protocols 
or judgements. I rather use the word 'Movement' instead. Or physical 
activity. And we as blind people can get engaged with movement or 
physical activity just as sighted people can.


For me, it looks like walking to and from my works staff lounge every 
day by taking the longer paths / not doing shortcuts. Or maybe even just 
walking, period. Walking is enough movement for me and provides the 
health and wellness I need. For some people it's different. On that note 
though, I listened to a story on NPR the other day, saying they've done 
some recent research that suggest that doing just 5 or 10  mins of this 
physical movement and doing it well enough can improve any health 
outcomes just as well or even more than doing it for more time.

But this is just my two cents. HTH.
