I'm not a wheelchair user, but I recently got my lower back hurt. It will recover, but in the meantime I needed some kind of upper body cardio. I can't do anything that involves my lower body because it aggravates the injury. I found that your workout is perfect! When I finish my heart is pumping like I need it to for me to feel good the rest of the day. Thanks you very much!
Ben, you are my virtual workout buddy every day. I’m doing this cardio workout and the punching theme workout every day for the last one month I’m feeling great. Thanks for the inspiration. Love from Portland, Oregon, USA
Thanks for the video. Every time my husband starts to exercise he is bothered by either ankle pain or his toe (lasting injury). With your exercises he doesn’t even need to stand up.
Wonderful work out! I am an instructor and I am incorporating a fit stick ball workout what can be done seated or standing and you just showed me that you can get a heck of a work out in a chair. Thank you.
Tried this first time today. It was awesome. Thank you for this . I am new to wheelchair as I have only been confined for 15 months. I have been gaining weight and my therapy has been limited. Looking forward to trying new exercises. Thank you Againg.
I've gone from swimming at least once a week to doing no exercise and hardly even moving during the lockdown and was starting to feel the extra weight, glad your video found my recommendations, I can start doing things in my chair to shift some of it! weirdly my shoulder joints are aching more than my muscles after the first go of doing this. will check out more vids!
This is a great little simple workout. I’m at my least fittest ever, currently and suffering with shoulder and neurological problems where it hurts me to lift my arms above my head. So I actually really struggled to do this the first time. I adapted the timings a bit so that I have 15 second rests in between and it feels great 👍
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I suffered a complete T5 spinal cord injury last June and gained some weight. I can’t control my trunk, but this workout is perfect for me! Thank you so much!
Hello I know French. I have been paraplegic since the age of 19, it's been 30 years I load up exercises to keep me in shape and I found your RUclips channel! What you are doing is fine, thank you Go on and take care of yourself
This was definitely challenging- I loved it! I thought oh 10 min will be easy, haha! I was wrong. It was very challenging. Thank you for making these videos, I feel like I am finally getting in shape and not having to take other workout videos and adapt to me being in a wheelchair because you have already done it.:)
You have ridiculous upper body strength! Seriously! My arms are screaming at me and I have to stop from time to time and you are just sailing through this. Thanks so much for this. I am recovering from knee surgery and this is a God sent! Bless you!
Thank you for this video Ben, so just started to follow your videos as of yesterday, and using this 10minute Cardio to start me off, then as of next week plan to try some of the others ... fantastic channel I will start sharing your channel to my instagram and Facebook page so my fellow wheelchair user friends can see how inspiring this is and also what exercises that can be done from a wheelchair. I have been a paraplegic since age of 2 and now at 50 feel psychically unfit and mentally I struggle to get motivated, but your videos are motivational and powerful. Thank you so much for creating this channel.
Thank you for creating this workout. I love it! I am not in a wheelchair but I do have a broken left fibula so have to exercise seated. Your videos are just what I needed. 😀
I think I just Googled “seated cardio exercises” and a selection of You Tube videos came up. I really like this one and am going to do your 30-day program too.
Awesome video Ben! I've been needing some new exercises to do with my weightbar. Although my weight bar is 20 pounds, I might get another weight bar that is lighter. Thanks!
Adapt To Perform very good, it pushes you and definitely gets the heart rate up. You should put a video of you on your hand bike, I’m sure people like myself C6-C7 would like to see!
Im not in a wheelchair but my left foot is bad i cant run. Thanks for the tips. Apparently, i have high blood pressure wtf. I thought i have seemingly good diet already
Great workout Ben. I'm currently using a gym that has two handbikes but not a great amount of useable weights options, and I'm considering swapping to another gym that doesn't have handbikes but is better for weights, so this would be a good help in improving my cardio fitness.
I would say that weights are generally a better option for wheelchair users. We overuse our shoulders as it is. Strengthen them with weights will help you 💪
@@AdaptToPerform that's a very good point and I'd never really considered things from that point of view. I think partly because I'd always got such a good cardio workout I'd got emotionally locked to the need to do it. If that makes any sense!
Yeah I understand that! I do maybe 10mins of cardiovascular work per week, instead I up the intensity of my resistance training. No issues with fatigue or getting out of breath
I'm definitely trying this. 😊 Which HIIT app are you using? Just an observation for your next video, the music totally obscured what you were saying in parts. 😊
Thanks for the feedback. I think it's me just being quiet sometimes. Probably speaking nonsense anyway 😆 the hiit app was just the first one I found on the play store
Hi. My hands want grip the pole.. would those helping hands for holding the weight work on the pole. Or should I get a thicker pole.. love the exercises
Hi Ben, so I have been doing this Cardio for a week now, my question to you is .... at the start of this cardio I found it quite easy, but at the end of the week i am struggling with it, hurts more as I am doing it, is this normal? by the way, I love the music on this video, it helps you want to go quicker.
Thanks for the video Ben, feeling knackered after that. Have you any exercise for belly? Im quite toned upper body, but need inches off my waist/belly.
In terms of losing weight your calorie intake is more important if you want to lose it fast. cardio is more for the heart and lungs, keeping you healthy. Do cardio 30mins 3 times a week. Do resistance training (weights) at least 2 times a week and you'll notice the difference soon
So here I was thinking these look not strenuous at all, especially considering that I have large muscle mass because I push myself for miles on a daily basis and lift my 300 pounds like nothing, so I've queued up like four videos to do as a morning exercise from now on, every day. ... four and a half minutes into this video, which was the first exercise video after the warm-up video, I had to stop, because everything hurts, because I never actually stretched out my muscles, I built up all this muscle by doing very confined movements, so everything is crackling with each of these large moves, and I'm pulling muscles like crazy. I feel like a fool.
Temporarily disabled due to a foot injury and this channel is perfect. You saved my cardio for the next couple of weeks. Thank you!!!
My pleasure 🙏
congratulations, my wife and I use a wheelchair and we are going to start doing your cardio routine, thank you very much and greetings from Argentina
That's great news! Try out several of the different ones

I'm glad you found me 😁 I have over 100 videos on here and currently livestreaming!
Damn bub I hope you heal or get better soon! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR SITUATION!!! GOOD VIBES YOUR WAY!!!
Thanks for the video. Every time my husband starts to exercise he is bothered by either ankle pain or his toe (lasting injury). With your exercises he doesn’t even need to stand up.

20 years as quadriplegic this year. Wish they gave us workouts like yours when I was in rehab. Great work. Keep them coming
Exactly why I started them!
~6 months as a paraplegic, one of my OTs actually showed me RUclips videos of things I could do at home to keep in shape!
I've gone from swimming at least once a week to doing no exercise and hardly even moving during the lockdown and was starting to feel the extra weight, glad your video found my recommendations, I can start doing things in my chair to shift some of it!

you're inspiration for this fat boy.
I like the cardio.. started doing them before breakfast.

Brilliant, just done it...
How was it!?
Adapt To Perform very good, it pushes you and definitely gets the heart rate up. You should put a video of you on your hand bike, I’m sure people like myself C6-C7 would like to see!
Yes the weather is good for it now so will definitely do that
Great idea, great video! Thanks!
How can I make this more challenging?
Cheers
Im not in a wheelchair but my left foot is bad i cant run.
Thanks for the tips. Apparently, i have high blood pressure wtf.
I thought i have seemingly good diet already

Great cardio workout, just the music was too loud. With my low vision, it's hard to hear you or your timer (which I use to know when to change)
I will try to do it👍🏼🌷.
Awesome! Hopefully you will enjoy. Let me know how you get on
Awsome👍
Thank you very much Kerry 😊 glad you liked it. Would you like to see more like this?
Adapt To Perform Yes please😆💪
Awesome well I'm planning one a week 😊😊
I'm definitely trying this. 😊 Which HIIT app are you using?
Just an observation for your next video, the music totally obscured what you were saying in parts. 😊
Thanks for the feedback. I think it's me just being quiet sometimes. Probably speaking nonsense anyway 😆 the hiit app was just the first one I found on the play store
Hi. My hands want grip the pole.. would those helping hands for holding the weight work on the pole. Or should I get a thicker pole.. love the exercises
These massively help! For safety I recommend them 😊
How many seconds? I didnt understand that at the beginning.
Hi Ben, so I have been doing this Cardio for a week now, my question to you is .... at the start of this cardio I found it quite easy, but at the end of the week i am struggling with it, hurts more as I am doing it, is this normal? by the way, I love the music on this video, it helps you want to go quicker.
Try doing every other day. You'll be getting fatigued and your body needs to recover 😊
Thanks for the video Ben, feeling knackered after that. Have you any exercise for belly? Im quite toned upper body, but need inches off my waist/belly.
There's one on my channel. And more coming in the future, make sure you subscribe to see them 😊😊
@@AdaptToPerform Cheers Ben, loving your videos, found the one you mean. I've subscribed so won't miss any.
Awesome. Enjoy!!
Hey Ben I just came across your awesome channel, just wondering what fitness app timer are you using on your phone for your workouts
It's called hiit interval timer
Adapt To Perform awesome thanks very much can’t wait to dig through you workouts and get started😄
My pleasure 😊 be sure to join our livestreams if you can!
How many times should I be doing this per day? I'm trying to lose some weight also eating healthy as well just curious on this
In terms of losing weight your calorie intake is more important if you want to lose it fast. cardio is more for the heart and lungs, keeping you healthy. Do cardio 30mins 3 times a week. Do resistance training (weights) at least 2 times a week and you'll notice the difference soon
what is the set timer used?
I use smart WOD timer
Thank you.i have kidney disease and my legs don't last long.
I'm glad to help you ☺️
How long do you do each exercise for before changing to next?? Because Can't hear you over the music???
Yeah I've stopped doing music now as I'm not to great at mixing it. 30 secs on each exercise 👍
Be nice if I could get a handcycle
So here I was thinking these look not strenuous at all, especially considering that I have large muscle mass because I push myself for miles on a daily basis and lift my 300 pounds like nothing, so I've queued up like four videos to do as a morning exercise from now on, every day.
... four and a half minutes into this video, which was the first exercise video after the warm-up video, I had to stop, because everything hurts, because I never actually stretched out my muscles, I built up all this muscle by doing very confined movements, so everything is crackling with each of these large moves, and I'm pulling muscles like crazy. I feel like a fool.
Well I'm glad you're open to learning. As a PT I often find clients in this situation
Ben, how do we make a monetary contribution to your page? I thought I saw a patreon link at one time but now I can’t find it.
Hey! Yes it should be in the description of the video or patreon.com/AdaptToPerform or search adapt to perform on patreon 😊
Hi I’m doing your 1 St workout am handicap please suggest me to upper body chest fat workout
I have no brakes. I ended up paddling backward across my apartment!
That sounds like great fun!
@@AdaptToPerform Ha! The wheel back to the starting point is just extra exercise. No complaints!
😋😋
Pls,next video low the music because i can't hear yr voice🌹.
I will do. It sounds ok when editing but after uploading it goes loud. I'm not an expert in editing so I'll just leave the music out in the future 😊
