[Sportsandrec] Find Your Fit

[Kociaba Fitness]

Joe, 
You are right about that and I should have expanded on it further. I have
also done it with blind people and in spite of the fact that they can't see
when they have eyes open and trying to focus on a point their balance tends
to be better than when eyes closed.

And of course all rules have exceptions.

I disagree with the eyes open and shut test in anything as a rule. A blind
person usually knows about being blind, while you're just shutting out the
lights on a sighted person #applesandoranges
