Jan 4, 2023

FocusOnFitness is a series of basic exercises you can do in your house, in the dorm or during a short break. Using the natural surrounding without having to find the right equipment, the best gym or the perfect time to do a little workout. Focus on Fitness is all about doing it when you can and hey, why not?

Maria Johnson, aka Girl Gone Blind, joins Jeff Thompson in the Blind Abilities Studio to Focus on Fitness and how you can incorporate little nuggets of exercise without throwing your schedule off and being able to work out within your own time and space.

In this Focus On Fitness episode, Maria and Jeff talk about Spinning and Biking. Yes, this involves a machine or a bike mounted on a stand, however, we want to provide some information to you so you can determine if this form of exercise is for you. We both agree that Spinning is a great calorie burner and most of all, gives them big muscles a good workout.

Interval training is when one does some bursts of speed or resistance to a steady pace. Like standing up and pedaling hard during a commercial as you watch TV while spinning.

Maria and Jeff find a few ways that keeps them focused on fitness and focused on the exercise without getting lost in the show or the music. It is important to keep the focus and get the best out of your hard work.
