Yes, you can exercise in a wheelchair!

_**WHN:**_ As we mentioned in previous posts, we see the wheelchair users divided in two main categories, according to the cause of their wheelchair use

* **People with energy levels similar to able bodied:** Such as many Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) :  Users belonging to this group have a good shot at an Athletes-In-A-Wheelchair. The Youtube video below by [**WheelzOfFortune**][1] is a good example of this groups needs and possibilities

* **People in a wheelchair because of a disabling disease: :** Such as Multiple sclerosis : Users belonging to this group have an even more substantial challenge:. The Youtube video below by Neurogymtech showcases an "exercise wheelchair". Have a look

* The truth is that the less able a wheelchair user is, the more his body needs to exercise: the abdominal paunch that is present on many wheelers is not an aesthetic issue, it is a health threat. At Wheelchairhealth, we will try to bring to you new exercise possibilities. The next youtube video seems to target middle-of-the road wheelers: Light aerobics:
