It’s tough staying fit from inside a wheelchair. I’ve heard that once or twice from wheelchair users.

However, there are number of exercise devices out there that are affordable, usable outside of a therapy clinic, and that really work.

This one is the Wheelchair Workout with Exercise Tubing. The system uses resistance tubes and bands that easily connect to a wheelchair for upper and lower range of motion utilizing resistance training to increase strength and flexibility.

The Wheelchair Workout with Exercise Tubing does not require users to cut or tie the bands or tubing, instead it uses one 64 inch length of tubing for all exercises that easily attaches to wheelchairs up to 26″ wide. It comes with carrying bag, mounting bar, exercise bar, hand grips and foot sling, and accepts all resistance tubes and bands.

Now you’re going to get the self inflicted downside. Don’t be an amateur and just jump in and start pulling bands every which way trying to morph that neglected body into iron overnight. Most exercise equipment can’t hurt you but you can hurt yourself. Get some professional advice from a doctor or therapist so that you don’t stress joints and muscles and so your hard work pays off with a hard body instead of a hard time.

How to get your hands on one? Easy, just enter “Wheelchair Workout with Exercise Tubing” into almost any search engine and you should come up with a number of resources. The device usually sells for around $140.00, but search around and you may save a couple of bucks.
