How to Do Abdominal Exercises in a Wheelchair

While most wheelchair users are unable to support their body weight with their feet, they can still lead active lives. With the right exercises, you too can stay healthy and fit.

If you use a wheelchair and would like to start participating in wheelchair sports, or if you wish to strengthen your core and improve your physical health, check out this brief video clip. In it, personal trainer Billy Beck III guides Brian Francis through some twists that work the obliques and a forward crunch that strengthens the spine and abdomen.

Does getting from your bedroom to your at-home gym require more energy than your daily workout? With a handicap ramp or wheelchair lift from Williams Lift Company, you can make the journey smoother, allowing you to dedicate more time and energy to your workout.
