Workout and weight loss on wheels- wheelchair exercises

It is significantly harder to see results if your movement is limited. Walking throughout your day exerts calories, an experience one doesn't receive. The metabolic rate for people in wheelchairs is half of regular population (10-20% less then average). Here are some things to do from a chair: 1) Use a manual chair rather than a motorized one as often as possible. Push it around and that will build arm muscles. 2)Sit up straight and squeeze shoulder blades. This is good for improving posture. 3) Hold arms straight at your side then bend them at elbow and touch your shoulders. These are biceps curls. 4)Put your arms at sides the lift them up till they're straight. These are called front raises. 5)Bend your arms and touch chest then push them out. These are called chest presses. 6) Lift knees to ceiling as if you are marching. 7) Straighten legs by kicking your foot to the ceiling. 8)Put feet flat then lift toes then heel, gradually the entire foot. 9) Repeatedly go from sitting position to standing position.
