What are the exercise guidelines for wheelchair users?
Adults (18 to 64 years) should engage in regular physical activity, preferably every day.
Within the week, there should be 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate intensity wheelchair exercises, or vigorous activity anywhere between 1.25 to 2.5 hours per week.
For example, swimming or modified rowing could be completed.
Specifically, the CGMM shows that the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, anterior deltoid, pectoralis major and biceps long head are the prime movers during the propulsion phase.

Try some of these exercises:

Arm Cycling: Bicycle with your arms instead of your legs.
Chair Aerobics: Move and stretch your body to music.
Rowing: Pretend to row a boat – in your chair or on a special piece of equipment.
Water Exercise: Enroll in a class for swimming or exercise.
