Wheelchair Help ASAP!? |
I am going to have some surgery this Wed. and I will have to be in a wheelchair for about 3 weeks.I'm not allowed to bear weight on my leg for about 3 weeks.But, I don't want to gain any weight while I'm in the wheelchair. Yes, I can do upper body exercises. Cardio stuff. Can you do upper body exercises? Like passing a medicine ball? Or lifting weights? Well for starters you metabolism has already slowed down a ton, your should consume no less than 1200 calories a day to keep your body running normal and healthy. Anything less and your body will start storing fat, eating muscle, and your metabolism will slow down a lot. Try eating 5-6 small meals everyday, to give your metabolism a boost. Make sure they are healthy, lots of fruits and veggies, meats and dairy. You can do pull-ups for exercise, and ask about being able to do cycling, you wouldn't have to put any weight on your leg for that? Make sure you stretch a few times a day to keep your circulation up, and your muscles in good shape, lift free-weights... These are the only things I can think of, ask your doctor before the surgery, they should know of a few things you should be able to do. |
