If you can move your legs, and it is okay for you to do- how about
1) straight leg raises: lock out one leg and lift gently a few inches up and down- toes straight up or canted slightly outward
2) overhead triceps extension with small weight.
3) I call these 'small circles': arms straight out to the sides and make small circles and count- 3 sets of 20, or until you feel it.
4) abdominal crunches

best I can think of right now... best of luck and heath to you!

Tae Bo is a pretty hardcore workout!!

As far as staying energized, eating the right foods, getting sleep, vitamins, etc. Also, the more consistent you keep your activity levels, the more energy you'll have

Found some websites for you for wheelchair exercises!
