Fitness in a wheelchair?
Posted: Fri May 04, 2012 6:12 pm
Hello,
I'm a brand new member here. I don't have MS but I do have T6 complete spinal cord injury that has me paralyzed from the chest down.
I wanted to see whether or not any of you in a wheelchair try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and if so, how do you manage it?
I've been wheelchair-bound for 5 years now... and my weight is slowly creeping up. I eat the same amount but my calorie expenditure has be drastically reduced. I'm all ears for any good ideas for working out in a wheelchair.
Thank you
