Cindy,
I'm not totally blind, but do have balance issues. I think most blind people
do. You can improve it though and still do the majority of exercises so its
not a big deal.

My second husband was a psychology professor. I was taking ballet and having
some problems with balance, and he told me that was the reason. At first I
wasn't willing to buy it, but gradually I came to believe it. I did learn to
do puroets (agh spelling) and focused on a point, turning my head at the
last minute as they aught, but I had plenty of issues with balance .

Cindy,
Yes I was on around this time last year I believe. I had not been doing the
Lighthouse gig for very long so I figure it must have been in feb or march
of last year.
We did spend a fair bit of time talking about balance and how to improve it
as well as Kevin trying to debate the point that blind people have poor
balance as a rule. I appriceate Kevin's "a blind person can do anything a
sighted one can..." attitude but it's a simple fact that a lack of vision
will lessen someone's balance. I have proved it time and again by having
sighted people do a balance test first with eyes open and again with eyes
closed.

Bill, on Find Your Fit they were talking with Joe Shaw about these Bulgarian
Split Squats he was learning to do and discussing whether or not it is
harder for blind folks to find their balance. Seems they may have mentioned
your name in there, too? Did you say you had been on one of the podcasts?
