I am in a wheelchair and I've been doing all types of exercises like...wheelchair boxing, wheelchair dancing, and wheelchair aerobics. And the problem I have is none of that is in the exercise list to calculate. I looked on the internet and I'm not finding anything except how many calories burned pushing a wheelchair. Does anyone know of any website where you can calculate calories burned for someone in a wheelchair? I would really appreciate it, thank you

    when i was in a wheelchair, i did wheelchair dancing and also used a mini bike to pedal with my arms, a good quality one with multiple resistances and smooth action.

    you can use your heartrate to calculate calories burned. you can use a heart rate monitor or just a pulse oxymeter to keep track.

    Thank you so much. I actually bought a mini bike. It is being delivered tomorrow😃. Thank you for your recommendations. I'll be picking up a heart rate monitor
