I am heading into hip/pelvis total replacement. I'm mostly chair bound but I am trying to strengthen as best as I can as well as lose weight. I'd love suggestions for exercises or links to resources like videos and blogs. Thanks!

    I am wheelchair bound and would also like to find resources that help me with my general fitness. At present I only leave my home when I have the strength to climb my stairs using my arms and bum. Upper body strength is important to me.

    There are many wheelchair exercise videos on YouTube, ranging from beginner/rehab gentle things to fairly intense exercise designed for wheelchair athletes. Maybe check out some of those, looking for ones from either credentialed physical therapists or degreed trainers? I wish I had specific recommendations for you, but have not used them myself, just have seen them pop up in searches for somewhat similar search terms.
