| About | My name is Dan. I live in Durham NC. I have a C5-6 SCI, which means I have compromised dexterity in my hands and in my upper arms. I exercise and get physical activity mostly by pushing my wheelchair on a paved, greenway trail about 2-2.5 miles, one or two times a week. I also have wrist cuff weights that I use to do some shoulder exercises. During the winter months with the sun setting so early, it's hard for me to get out onto the trail after work but before it gets dark. And when it's cold I don't feel like getting out there much. I have access to a small fitness center at my apartment complex but unfortunately living alone, I don't have anyone to regularly assist me in getting set up on the equipment due to my hand function limitations. I'm interested in the 14-week exercise program mostly to keep track of progress and to have a reason to keep up with my exercises. |
