One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started working out as a wheelchair user, was not following a structured program.♿️ I used to just do random exercises/workouts, hoping for results, but nothing really changed. Once I committed to a plan and focused on progressive overload—gradually increasing weight, reps, or intensity—I finally saw the strength and fat loss I wanted. For example, if you’re doing shoulder presses, you could add weight, increase reps, or slow down the movement to challenge your muscles over time. 💪🏼 I know, I know, It might not be the most exciting thing, but structured training works—and it’s the key to real progress!! Along with strength training, adding in cardio is a great way to burn extra calories and boost endurance. BUTTT don’t forget—recovery is just as important as training. You NEED at least one full rest day per week to let your muscles rebuild and prevent injury. Progress happens when you balance training, cardio, and recovery!
