WheelPower’s Adapted Workout Videos

To mark Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day, we are releasing a new fitness class delivered by Ben Clark, who himself is a C7 quadriplegic. Ben, a personal trainer and owner of Adapt To Perform; the world's largest platform for adapted fitness) will guide you through several different types of workouts that can be done from home. "In my workouts I really try to adapt them for all levels of ability and fitness, giving lots of ways to make the workouts easier or tougher and adaptions if exercises aren't possible to adapt and workout that's perfect for you. And all my sessions come with a smile 😊"

Session 1: No Equipment Cardio - https://www.wheelpower.org.uk/resources/no-equipment-cardio

In the first session we are doing a no equipment HIIT workout. Designed to get your heart rate up and to improve your cardiovascular endurance which is great for your wheelchair pushing efficiency. What makes this session great is that you don't need any equipment and it can be done anywhere! This is a beginner workout but can easily be made more difficult with a set of dumbbells (or equivalent) if you need to. Keep an eye out for my next video which will work on your core muscles.
