Hi:
I am a wheelchair user (Born with Spina Bifida and I am Paraplegic) I was wondering what do other paraplegics do to burn calories? I am looking for good exercises to burn calories while sitting in a wheelchair. Thank you

    My boyfriend has SB as well and he is a personal trainer specializing in adaptive fitness! Do you have access to a gym with a hand cycle ergometer? A fixed seat on a rower with chest straps is another awesome workout.
