Obviously, first and foremost you need to assess your diet if you want to lose weight and keep it off. Exercise is important, but if you're eating too much then you'll find it difficult to lose weight no matter what exercise you do.

That said, I'm visually impaired and have lost over 100lbs by combining dietary changes (eating less, eating better, etc), an exercise bike and a set of weights. Get someone to show you how to perform different exercises using the weights and ask them to watch you a few times to make sure you're consistently getting them right. Hop on the bike and set a timer and just pedal, building up your time over weeks and months (I started out barely able to do 10 minutes, I could now comfortably do an hour or more at a time).

Add general exercises like push ups, sit-ups, etc and I honestly think that should be more than enough for most people. If you're interested in going to a gym, I also really enjoy using a rowing machine or treadmill.

Basically, pretty much any equipment based exercises would be my recommendations.

Best of luck.

I’d recommend water fasting and diet, be careful and you’ll be fine.

You could also go to the gym if they’ll help you and once you’re used to the layout, go on your own.

I personally don’t enjoy going to the gym but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just not for me.

Out of shape guy here who used to be a fitness nut and is looking to get back in to it because of my sedentary job.

It is of course a little hard without knowing your exact situation but I would say, yes, you will need to do aerobic exercise, preferably first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach at least. This way you will burn fat, not just carbohydrates. I suggest a treadmill because it is the best machine for maintaining an elevated heartrate in my opinion but, really, any aerobic exercise will do. Find something you can do for 20 minutes and go from there. In other words, improve your duration and intensity slowly over time. Find a new aerobic activity after about 12 to 15 weeks if you can so your body doesn't adapt.

Second, and this advice is specific for people who are blind, learn the motions for executing anaerobic exercises using your body weight and dumbbells to improve your metabolism and burn extra calories during the recovery period. Do not rely on machines. This is because weight machines change from gym to gym, dumbbells do not, and, even if you never change gyms, you will have to move around a lot to find the various weight machines. Dumbbell racks and benches are in the same place so once you get set up, you don't have to move around for an entire workout which, again will keep your heart rate up and will allow you to fully concentrate on your workout, not your mobility. It will ultimately be safer for everyone. Concentrate on your form as you perform each exercise, not how much weight you can move to prevent injury and from… well, looking silly. Move the weight slowly and deliberately to impact each area during the range of motion and for the same two reasons as before, injury prevention and silliness.

Now, the hard part, how do you know proper form if you can't see others doing it first? I would say, worry about that less than you think. Most people in gyms, and on YouTube for that matter, don't really know what they are doing. There are websites out there with good text descriptions of various exercises. Know what exercises you are going to perform before heading to the gym and practice without weights. Once there, and, before performing any anaerobic exercise, warm up with about 30% of the weight you can actually move so you can get comfortable with your balance. You will be moving in space in unusual ways, and, if you are total, it may feel pretty disorienting at first. I also recommend you, in about the first 4-to-6 weeks, workout with a more experienced partner or Trainor so you can get a sense of the intensity you will need and to correct any flaws or bad habits you have developed. I worked out with a body-builder a couple of times and this was the only way I knew how hard I was supposed to be working. He was very impressed with my form though and only made a few minor corrections. I don't recommend doing it sooner because it will take some time for you to get strong enough and comfortable enough with the motions to be able to repeat them consistently for them to observe.

If anyone wants me to describe certain exercises or full workouts, or even try to record them in audio, I would be willing to give it a try. Just let me know. All the best to you.

I have a stationary bike and between that and making healthier food choices I’ve shed some pounds.

I use an elliptical machine, it's very intuitive once you're on it. It's sometimes a bit difficult to get on so I always use the same machine.

I’m a TVI and think yoga would be great for my students, but to lose weight you could get a stationary bike and improve your diet.
