Full Upper Body and Core Resistance-Band Class: for Quadriplegics and Paraplegics (3/16 and 3/18)


Are you looking for a full upper body and core workout from your wheelchair without all the fuss or fancy equipment? Then this class is for you! A simple set of resistance bands can go a long way. Rachel will be teaching one full class for Quadriplegics and one full class for Paraplegics (3/16 and 3/18 respectively). She will teach 15-20 exercises EACH class with multiple variations, progressions, and modifications.

Rachel will explain which exercises target certain muscles including your deep core muscles, abdominals, shoulders, chest, and back. This class will be a great foundation for a home program you can do with minimal equipment from a seated position. Pick and choose which exercises are appropriate for you or try them all.

Class Prep: Most of this class will be movement-based so come ready with a set of resistance bands or check out this set here (this is a great set because it includes a door anchor and arm cuffs if handles are hard to grip). You may also need someone assisting you to switch out the bands.
