    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!
