Answer 3

Resistance training

Use a resistance band secured to a door handle or other firm object and pull towards or away from you in a smooth non jerky manner t. These bands are available in various strengths.

Wheelchair Pushups

To begin, put the brakes on your wheelchair. Place both hands firmly on your arm rests.  Using your arms lift your body slightly, so that your bottom just rises up off of the seat, and then in an even motion return your body to the chair.  Repeat this motion in sets of five.  Taking breaks between each set.  Do several sets daily, but don’t overdo it and injure your arms.

Use free weights or dumbbells in repetitions of 5-10

Before you begin your exercise regime you should warm up for 5 minutes with gentle stretches and cool down the same way at the end.
