I like this this is good work because I'm in a wheelchair and no one else has made me feel like I can do this

If you’ve ever needed a wheelchair for mobility, you know that know one is ever bound by a wheelchair.

This seems advanced for someone in a wheel chair. (High kicks and weights)Does anybody have any good links for someone who is truly weak but has mobility ?

My mom went into nursing home in March 2018 due to falls at home and after a year and a half nursing home staff has made her stuck to the wheelchair and it’s so hard for her to even stand. I want her to walk again.

Love it! I was in the hospital for 4 months last year and have been unable to walk since. Not getting anywhere with my insurance recommended therapists nor did I with a month in a local physical rehabilitation hospital so I am seeking my own alternate methods. Best of luck to you all.✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

I'm so happy that I found this video! I found out a few minutes ago that I have osteoporosis and I love the chair leg exercises seeing as though I am paralyzed. So thank you so much for posting this. I'm looking forward to doing these exercises every day from now on.

THANK YOU!!!! For helping us seniors who need exercise but have very limited mobility.

I can do that first one and bring my leg up all the way it's painful at the knees but I have no feeling in my legs or feet. I was a ballerina with the Boston and Maine State ballet and now I'm in a wheelchair. I just did three and my leg is tired. Hahaha!

[skmfreespirit]

Thank you. You always have the exercises i need! You are so thorough and cover so many topics. You are also so easy to understand and are friendly and not intimidating!

I love this. Thank you for remembering us. I suffer from Cauda Equina Syndrome beginning at age 65 from a fall in the bathroom. Please pray for me. I love you two wonderful gentlemen.

I'm in need of this. My MS is just getting work and getting up out of my bed, wheelchair and even toilet (trouble spot there even with the bars). Legs are just going downhill and exercise SHOULD make it better but always just makes more pain. Last time I had physical therapy, my hip/groin area of the leg hurt so much for ages. And my knees, ug. Already a bad left knee, but the right is getting worse with the standing struggle, so it's hard to find good exercises that don't make that worse. The ball thing is one thing that I can do, but not nearly enough. I'm sure it would be easier to stand with two arms, but still waiting for the frozen shoulders to heal and my wrist (broken a year ago) still isn't as strong. Ah, to have ONE ailment and not half a dozen!!

[HomikaGaming]

Really good! Even if your just a computer guy or stuck in a cubicle staying fit's important.

[Rasberrylil]

Any advice on how to strengthen calves when fixed in a sitting position?

[crimsonartsandcrafts]

I really hope you see this but is there any exercise that a person who is paralysed and can't straighten their legs can do?
