In a recent article on the
Disability.gov website, an article entitled “Disability Connection: 10 ways to
Stay Healthy and Well-thy” https://www.disability.gov/disability-connection-newsletter-february/ offered helpful tips. And, the
Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System at the University of Washington
School of Rehabilitative Medicine http://sci.washington.edu/info/newsletters/articles/09_fall_fitness_centers.asp provides a downloadable article with
additional tips, as well as a Fitness Center Accessibility Checklist and a
quick review of your civil rights (USA) to equal access.
While most
of us won’t manage 260 sit-ups anywhere other than in a virtual world, it’s not
a bad idea to become aware of the options, challenges, and proven approaches to
accessing fitness centers wherever we live.

Using a
fitness center at Healthinfo Island is easy. Finding one that works for you in
your regular life might take a bit more patience, persistence, advocacy, and
work. But then, improved accessibility benefits everyone.
