Jessica gives us an exciting update on the National Fitness Challenge, hosted by the United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) and the Anthem Foundation. We have an amazing Facebook page were participants share their stories of victory and success.

We interview Erich Manser, a blind marathon runner with 17 marathons under his belt. He used AIRA technology with Google Glass to navigate the Boston Marathon this year. AIRA uses a smartphone app that pairs with a camera mounted on Google Glass that is connected to a sighted-human assistant. Listen for details on Eric’s experience and learn more about this exciting emerging technology. Find out how you can get involved and learn more here.

Amber’s new graduation gift got her thinking a little more about her resting heart rate. She got a bit concerned, so she asks Jessica a few important questions. What should your Resting Heart Rate be and how do I lower it? Listen in for this week’s Fit Chat as Amber and Jessica hash out the topic of Resting Heart Rate.
