Jumpstart: Exercises For People In Wheelchairs

Millions of people worldwide use wheelchairs. But, whether you are permanently confined to a wheelchair or just using one for a short amount of time, you can still live a normal, healthy life. One of the most important things you can do to maintain your health, happiness, and endurance is to exercise. That’s right; you can exercise even while sitting down. As long as your doctor gives you the “OK”, wheelchair exercises can be extremely beneficial.
