Workout and weight loss on wheels- "...but I use a wheelchair."

Here are some exercises people with disabilities can do if they have physical limits: Curls- Put your hands to the sides of your wheelchair and lift weights. This is good for biceps. Side raises- Put you arms out to the sides of your wheelchair and lift the weights up to your shoulders. This is good for the core muscles. Front raises- Put your arms in front of you and lift the weights to eye level. This is good for the triceps. Overhead press- Lift the weights to shoulder level OR grab a barbell and lift it behind your head. This is good for your shoulder and back. Sit ups- Lay on the floor and push up you entire torso. This is good for abdominal muscles. Stretches- make sure you do them before and after your exercises. Squats- Hold on to something sturdy such as the sink and bend your legs. This is good for calf muscles, hamstrings, and thighs.
