[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

Thu Aug 9 17:00:23 UTC 2012

there is no intention of expressing hate.  I am making the 
assumption(perhaps mistakenly) of youth simply because Carley mentioned 
school and being off for the summer.  You are also ignoring the words 2-3 
hours of exercise daily. Everyone has the time or can create the time to 
workout but few have 2-3 hours a day to do it. Nor do most require that 
much.  If a reasonable level of intensity is put into a workout one can stay 
in great shape with as little as 45 minutes three times a week. Your choices 
are yours and I am in no way critacizing or diminishing their value.  I am 
very sorry if something I said offended you.
