Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleGreyCat" data-source="post: 2061456" data-attributes="member: 6467">To be clear, there is a lot of distance between professional athletes and the rest of us.Cyclists ride the TDF, runners run marathons, etc.However a gentle walk is still good exercise, as is a gently cycle ride, or a jog if your feet and knees are up to it (which mine aren't).As stated above, I was curious about how many people could exercise in a wheelchair (like taking a gentle walk or cycle ride). I don't think I have seen anyone post that their exercise regime is, for example, two miles in a manual wheelchair three times a week. Yes, we do see elite athletes in wheelchairs. Logically we should also see average people out for a "stroll" in a wheelchair just as we see people out for a short walk or a slow cycle ride.I am noting that people posting here who have difficulty exercising seem to have whole body problems, not just dodgy feet or knees for example.All food for thought.</blockquote>
