Peter White is joined by Diane Roworth, CEO of York Blind & Partially-Sighed Society and Ken Reid, chair of RNIB Scotland, to discuss ways for blind people to keep fit. Both keen on fitness pursuits, Diane says she has a personal trainer and Ken runs and cycles with friends. Diane also said that her society runs a weekly chair-based exercise class, which is well-attended by its 60-90 year old members. Ken recommended being persistent if a gym is refusing entry or brandishing safety regulations. Diane also talked about her love of sailing with EAST. The East Anglian Sailing Trust, which works with visually-impaired sailing enthusiasts.
