Senior Exercise Program Experience

Yesterday in class we had the opportunity to walk around the track experiencing what is like to have different disabilities.

Rope around our knees = walking slow
Cotton ball in ears = hearing loss
Vaseline covered sunglasses = glaucoma
Masks = Chronic pulmonary disorder
Rubber gloves = arthritis

Walking from the Richards Building to the Smith Field House and one lap around the track took us 30 minutes! We were so tired and refused to do another lap! We didn't like it when people found us annoying either.

Here's a peek of our experience:
