Exercise on wheels…
Leanne Grose sounds to me like a real inspiration to all girls (and guys) on wheels. She and her Wheelchair Workout fitness DVD really have put the Ability back into DisAbility.
The article is very long, because it goes into inclusive sports and gyms as well. Inclusive gyms, I have to say, are really not my thing. But here is my favourite quote from the article:
“My goal is to convince people that they can be physically active and that a disability does not mean you need to be unhealthy. I also hope it will make everybody rethink what being in a wheelchair really means.”
Good luck to her. Maybe I should try it from my sofa… Until I can be bothered, here’s Leanne Grose’s 13 questions from BBC Ouch.
Update 19/3/08: Leanne Grose was featured in this week’s Pick Me Up, in the Happy Endings section.
