    Weightlifting?
    I saw a guy on here the other day who's also in a chair and loves lifting weights.

    I don't know why you are in a chair, so standard disclaimer, make sure your doctor clears you for exercise, and you should probably work with a physical therapist if you are recovering from something.

    What are your goals?

    If you google "wheelchair exercises" you'll see that there are some great videos on youtube and what appear to be some very informative website.

    The reason I ask what your goals are is that, depending on where you live, there are a growing number of wheelchair sports opportunities available (one of my college classmates is very involved in wheelchair basketball & his wife competed for Canada at the Paralympics).

    Don't be afraid to dream big!

    Seated exercise videos on-line or on DVD

    Seated DVD brands to look for (maybe your library has some): Sit to Be Fit, Chair Dancing, Susan Tuttle, Functional Fitness

    Here are some video clips: http://www.collagevideo.com/collections/all/specialty-category-seated-exercises
