Got in a really good handcycle workout yesterday! 💪💪

After CrossFit I normally stay and push for a new max

Hi all! I’m Freddie, 41, I have hEDS and cEDS, partially ambulatory wheelchair user but losing the mobility in my hips and use my wheelchair 98% of the time with limited ability to walk which is decreasing rapidly. I’m wanting to build up the muscle in my shoulders and my arms in a safe way that takes into account the fact my joints are prone to subluxation and dislocation so I’m better able to self propel over longer periods of time. And maybe lose some of the belly fat along the way. But for now I’ll settle for building up those arm and shoulder muscles. I lead a pretty busy life, volunteering, writing, creating art, dog sitting… and I would like to ensure that I have the ability to keep it going.

Today I did a 45 min handcycle workout. I went 7.71 mi. Proud of myself. I’m killing workouts! 💪🔥

My name is Sam. I am a C5 incomplete quad. I've been so now for a little over 29 years. I am here to find ways to get stronger and healthier so I can be better for my grandkids.
