>> Hi,
>>
>> Well I'm in VA too. iIts northern va in fact; and more details can be
>> given off list.
>> Anita, as I said before on list, there are not many organized fitness and
>> recreation activities for blind people. Zumba, well, I  just asked about
>> that and only received one response from Lori. The problem is classes go
>> fast and I don't think a DVD will explain the moves. Any friends or 
>> family
>
>> willing to show you? I was just asking about that and was gonna reply to
>> Lori soon.
>> I looked for workout cds which would elimate the visual element and found
>> none. Oh there's meditation and yoga cds, but that's it.
>>
>> My best suggestion is to join a gym that is friendly and affordable. Make
>> sure you can operate the machines or are permitted to label them. You 
>> will
>
>> probably need to join a zumba class at a gym or community center to 
>> learn.
>
>> If you live in a major county like fairfax or arlington or Alexandria,
>> they got a big recreation department. The rec centers offer such classes.
>> The main blind sport is bowling. The league meets in Arlington at Fort
>> myer. I can give more detail off list if interested.
>> What prompted a move to VA and what sort of fitness do you like?
>>
>> I also can share  with you about the beep ball league that plays in the
>> summer in falls church if interested. Its fun, but not much exercise; we
>> hit off a tee, where as regular  beep ball you are pitched a ball. its an
>> informal game sponsored by the phone pioneers.
>> If in VA and interested, we really need more players and it starts again
>> in july.
>> As for me, I mainly walk and jog for my fitness.
>> That's about all I can share about organized stuff for blind people.
