Things that help: Going to the gym | |
I go to the Inspire Health and Fitness Gym at Coventry Sports Centre. I work with an instructor who is trained to work within the Inclusive Fitness Initiative. I go three times every week; during sessions my instructor helps me use ankle weights in different ways and gym balls which I push against with my legs (in different positions depending on which muscle group we want to work on) - and my upper body by using the machines and dumbells, although my instructor has to 'guide' my movements as otherwise I would clonk myself on the head! All sessions I do from my wheelchair.
If you are disabled and you're interested in Inclusive Fitness, I recommend the Inclusive Fitness Initiative website. |

This website has been around sinse 1998, and although it's changed a lot over the years it's always been about me and my disability. Over the years I have used many different hosts and website design packages. For the past ten years or so I have used 1&1 as my host and I have always been very happy with it. I have always wanted to learn how to build a website from scratch using Adobe Dreamweaver, so about three years ago I got in touch with Polar Solutions and arranged for a trainer to come out to my home to teach me at my own pace. So I now design this website using Adobe Dreamweaver and the skills I learned on that course. |
