    Top 5 Exercises for Wheelchair Users

    Some are under the impression that life in a wheelchair means you can’t get very good exercise. We’re happy to report that nothing could be further from the truth. These are our favorite exercises for wheelchair users. By implementing regular exercise into your life, you will find yourself enjoying it even more! 1. Weight Training Being in a chair doesn’t need to limit your strength training. If you are a wheelchair user, you should try even harder to keep up your strength to keep your maximum mobility. Free weights can be used anywhere and will help to keep your arms and back strong. 2. Sprinting You can get your cardio workout in right from your chair. Find a large area free of furniture where you can wheel from one side of the room to the other. Make a goal for how many times you will go back and forth. Each day add another round of wheel sprints to keep your cardiovascular system strong. 3. Back Extensions Your back can quickly become sore from sitting. Strengthening your back can help with this. While seated, bend your upper body until you are parallel with the floor. Slowly come back up to an upright position. 4. Stretching Stretching not only strengthens your muscles but it can help prevent injury. Slowly reach to the sky with both arms. Breathe in and out as you raise and lower your arms. This is a great move to do in the morning and at night. 5. Seated Core Your core is central to overall strength. As you sit in your chair, place both feet flat on the floor. Lift one leg up as high as you can and bend your knee towards you. Hold this for five seconds and repeat on each side ten times. You can do this just about anywhere. Perks of Movement Moving is good for all of us, but even more so when you have limited mobility. You may have a more difficult time finding cardiovascular exercises, but heart health is important to us all. Be sure to pursue this to benefit your physical and mental well-being. When using a wheelchair every day, you are putting stress on the upper body that can lead you to be more susceptible to injury. Keep your body and mind strong with daily exercises like these!

    How to Wash Your Hands Properly

    Personal hygiene is an essential part of our lifestyle. It’s important to keep our bodies clean to protect ourselves from illnesses. This has become even more crucial due to the covid-19 pandemic that has adversely affected many countries around the globe. One effective way to slow down, if not prevent, the spread of germs like bacteria and viruses is to properly and frequently wash our hands. Benefits of Washing Your Hands Properly Throughout the day, as you do various activities, oil and dirt gather on your hands. Germs are held by these greasy substances and can transfer to other surfaces you may touch. From these surfaces, or by direct contact e.g. handshakes, those germs get transferred to other people. This is why it’s important to frequently clean your hands properly – not only for your safety but for the safety of others as well. Washing hands is one of the most effective methods to remove germs, protect yourself from illnesses, and stop the spread of germs to others. Soap and warm water are enough to rid yourself of these germs. Proper handwashing can help prevent respiratory infections and diarrhea-related diseases. Step of handwashing Wet your hands with clean, warm water. Warm water works more effectively with soap to remove grease and oil from your hands. Lather your hand with soap. Make sure to lather your hands down till the wrists, the back of your hands and between your fingers. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Rub firmly and scrub each part of your hand thoroughly –palms, wrists, between your fingers, back of your hands, and under your nails. Rinse thoroughly. Rinse your hands under warm, running water –make sure to scrub as you rinse. Dry your hands. Use a clean cloth towel or paper towel to dry your hands completely. After you’re done, use the towel to turn off the tap. If you’re using a paper towel, discard it properly after use. Alternatives to Soap You may use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water are not available. To ensure that the sanitizer is effective, make sure that it has at least 60 percent alcohol. You can also find such sanitizers in the form of gels and wipes as well.
