> My budget is such that I can't afford a personal trainer at the moment, 
> but I haven't ruled that out.
>
> I do have a stability ball and a medicine ball that I am thinking about 
> using, but may need suggestions on how to use them effectively and safely. 
> These can be stored when I don't need them.
>
> I am also looking into Pilates, but would need someone to show me the 
> moves physically, or if I can't do that, a good recording with 
> descriptions and explanations. I know that many audio resources come with 
> booklets which only add to the problem, since I'd need a reader. Most 
> videos are probably not all that great.
>
> If anyone has found a way to work with their local fitness center to get 
> one on one instructions, I'd like to hear about it.
>
> One idea I may look into is having someone from my local fitness center 
> address my NFB chapter and/or affiliate, and maybe we might sponsor 
> something for the community.
>
> Finally, one thing I have noticed when I work out is that music keeps the 
> momentum going. I've tried audio books while working out, but that didn't 
> do as well for me; it just slowed me down.
>
> Does anyone have any thoughts on what makes a good workout playlist and 
> how to create one? If you do pilates, what kind of music works best?
>
> Any suggestions on these topics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
