I have recently found an item on the internet called 'get fit while you sit'. It's very simple and as many of us are wheel chair users these exercises are ideal to help us keep fit-----or fitter. Tel us all what you think

Best wishes. Ted

Thank you, appreciate your help. I am on an 'up' at the moment so bought a rowing machine (I used to row a lot and used a gym rowing machine so knew the technique for that) It is brilliant as I can sit down and use the stand and solid furniture to get up slowly. I have reactivated an old repetitive strain injury so will decrease it all, time, tension etc but it was absolutely great to breathe deeply and feel oxygenated blood again!
