[Sportsandrec] Fitness Apps

I signed up for MyFitnessPal, a food and fitness tracker. The iOS app is
accessible and free. You can keep a food diary there and track your
workouts.
I also use the Nike feature built into the iPhone. You have to buy a Nike
censor and a pair of Nike shoes that have a place for the censor. You can
also buy something to attach the censor to the laces of any running shoe so
that you don't have to buy the special nike shoes. As I run, my phone tracks
my distance and calories. It provides audio announcements of my progress as
I run and allows me to listen to music at the same time. It syncs my
progress to Nike online and keeps my running history on my iPhone for later
access.

Okay. How do I do that. I am in school for masters of rehabilitation
counseling. We probably should talk about this on the student division
list. Can you send me the link? If not, I will find it at some point soon.

Justin,
Oh you're in school? What do you study? You should join nabs list if you're

Glad you have time for fitness amidst school work.

Subject: Re: [Sportsandrec] echo location was blind skateboarder
Hello, Everyone,
I'm going to point out that there are two Justins involved with this
conversation. There's Justin Williams, who wants to hide his potential
echolocation abilities, and there's me, Justin Louchart, who is an
echolocation teacher and strives to make my skills and the skills of others
public information available to all interested parties.
Julie, in response to your question about cane taps being used for
echolocation, there are two parts to my answer as an educator and as a
scientist in the field.
First, yes, your cane tap can be used as a relatively bad echolocation
signal.
Second, emphasis on the relatively bad.
The cane tap comes from the ground, hits the target, and reaches the ears.
Meaning that all of your images are going to be bent, blurry, and
inconsistent. Not only that, but furthermore there is no real aim or
directionality in using a cane tap. Next, the cane tap doesn't work on all
or even most surfaces. You cannot modulate the volume or the frequency of
the cane tap in anywhere near the same way you can a tongue click. Finally,
your acuity simply isn't as good with a cane tap, no matter what you do. You
won't be able to see the front versus the back of a car with your cane tap
from fifteen feet away.
It might be worth mentioning that if you're using your cane tap for
echolocation, riding a bicycle independently in unknown environments, riding
a mountain bike on advanced trails, hiking on your own, doing independent
mountain climbing, doing advanced tree climbing, and accomplishing a
thousand other independent recreational activities is much less convenient
or likely to happen.
I have no fear when I travel, no matter what I'm asked to do. Flash sonar
and other perceptual mobility techniques give me the options to do anything
from walk to the grocery store without running into anything to go bicycling
on an unknown street with my students. Flash sonar opened doors for me and
for countless others that most blind folks don't even realize are closed to
them. If you ask most blind people why they don't go mountain biking,
hiking, or why they don't play soccer with sighted peers, they're going to
tell you that they don't even want to. Well, how much of their not wanting
to is a result of their not thinking it's easy or fun? How much of it is
because blindness and people around blindness indicated to them that it's
either impossible, or not worth the effort?
I don't have to worry about any of that. I see my environment quite
similarly to any sighted person, mine just doesn't have color or extremely
fine details. I can choose how to navigate an environment usually a block or
half a block away, depending on clutter. If you have that preparation, a
million things are easier.
Justin

As far as I know, Ben did not accept a cane. They showed him on televition a
few years ago and one of the things that they kept talking about was the
fact that Ben hated to use a cane with a passion.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I haven't been following this thread, so my apologies if this has already
been mentioned.
I've just started playing with an app called "Fitness Buddy" by Azumio Inc.
This app has a "free" and a "pro" version, and I've been looking at the
former. This app seems pretty accessible so far and has some decent features
especially for beginner exercisers. The app has descriptions for over 300
exercises with HD pictures and illustrations if you wish to download
them...being completely blind I liked the fact that I did not have to do
this. I am having some difficulty with the descriptions as I can only get
what I assume is the first step of the descriptions, but I have contacted
their customer support and am hoping to hear back soon.
The app also has a number of built-in workouts for beginner and intermediate
levels, also based on the equipment available (including resistance bands
and body weight workouts), or you can create your own customized workouts.
Finally, the app allows you to log and chart your workouts. The app
description does mention the feature of logging body measurements, but I
think this may be only in the pro version as I could not find this feature
in the free version.
The biggest advantage to this app...It's free. You can check it you, and if
you like it you can use it or even upgrade to the pro version. If it's not
your thing, delete it and nothing lost.
Another app I tried was called "Volt Fitness," hated it! Not very user
friendly and the accessibility was poor. When I contacted customer support
on this app the response was "Our apologies" and instructions on how I could
request a refund from the Apple store for the app. My suggestion is to put
this one on the "never mind" list.
A third app is called "Instant Heart Rate," which uses your phone's camera
to check your heart rate. This app has it's quirks, but overall I can get
out of it what I want, i.e., my heart rate. Again, this app has both a
"free" and "not free" versions, with the paid version logging more heart
rate measurements than the free version (which only logs your last 5
measurements). The app also allows you to note what you were doing when you
took the measurement (like "wake up," "before, during, or after exercise,"
etc).
Finally for now, I'm using a food tracker called "Carb Master." Again, a few
quirks, some of which I think have nothing to do with VoiceOver or
accessibility, but certainly useable. Thousands of foods in the database,
but sometimes it takes some real digging to find what you are looking for.
Many foods are listed by brand name, which really helps. Also, you can put
in custom foods (your favorite recipes, or foods you can't find in the
listing). This app will let you know how many carbs, fats, and proteins you
have left for the day depending on how you have set up your settings; keeps
track of your daily consumption; will keep track of your exercise; water
intake (although I haven't been able to get this feature to log properly),
and you can log diabetes information (amount and type of insulin, blood
sugar levels).
Okay, that's enough for now.
Kelly

them.
