Hi, my name's Kim. I have Spina Bifida, I am confined to a wheelchair. I am having a hard time getting motivated because of my limitations. I can really only do push-ups and sit-ups. I'm 25, 4'9 and weigh a lot more than I should. Any suggestions? I live in Indiana. Anyone living in Indiana who is looking for a workout partner? I cannot drive, so I can't get to a gym. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Thanks for replying, I've looked those up. The exercises are all weight exercises and I'm not sure if that will flatten my stomach.0
