Hello, Happy Holidays to everyone. How do the people with a C4-5 injury keep your arms on a hand cycle? Lindaf ----- Original Message ----- From: Merrill To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 1:46 PM Subject: FW: [QUAD-L] QUAD Weight And Exercise
I go to physical therapy twice a week where there are professional hand cycles. They also gave a cheepo to me for use t home. These are hard to work with by only sitting on a table top. You just need to hunt for one but I really do not know how satisfied you will be with nit. The hand cycle is exhilarating to my whole body not to mention muscle building. I wish you could try one in a store or at home before buying unless insurance is paying. If you have Medicare and a facility close to go to you will not regret it.

If the belly is already there I can see how the binder riding up can be a problem. No suggestions from me though on the butt spread. Radical weight loss only through small food intake and proper food works for me. I do not feel hunger nor being full. Grazing by eating small amounts through out the day with one small well rounded healthy meal seems best for me. My binder is the 11" with definitely supports. Riding up is not one of my problems. For an exhilarating exercise for quads or anyone, my aerobic and muscle building exercise is the hand cycle. I love the exhilaration on light tension, light resistance for 10 minutes. ANOTHER ANNOYING SURVEY May I ask what people's weight is? I am male C5, I am most comfortable around 130 lbs.
