Exercise is an important part of our daily routines and has several benefits, including improved mental health, fitness and quality of life.
Some individuals with disability can face additional barriers to engaging in physical activity and as a result can be less active.
If you’re a person with disability or support someone with disability it is important to understand the role of exercise in managing that disability and assisting with everyday living.
Try and focus on exercising in a fun and safe way and aim for the right exercises for individual needs and interests.
For people with disability and their families and carers, seeking out the appropriate resources and finding support can be difficult. To address this challenge, Exercise Right has published a free Exercise for Disabilities eBook.
The eBook covers a range of topics including the benefits of exercise, types of physical activity, finding support, testimonials and more.
For more information and resources about living with disability or assisting someone with disability to be more active, visit the Exercise Right website.
