[Sportsandrec] Statistics on Fitness in Blind Community

Thu Aug 9 21:45:24 UTC 2012

I used to have to hit the weight room at 8:30 pm just because of the 
crowdedness factor of the gym during the earlier hours and then I would 
have to get to bed at 10 or 10:30 to get up for work at 6.
And I never had too much of a problem sleeping but now I am able to go 
at 3 pm and I realized I have way more energy for working out at that 
time of day.
