Hello, I am a man in my mid-30s with a significant mobility disability – I use a powered wheelchair full-time and have a 24/7 caregiver to help me with nearly all activities of daily living (getting out of bed, transferring to toilet, showering, dressing, transportation, etc.). I speak English and Urdu, and some basic Spanish.
I have a neuromuscular condition that is generally progressive and does improve with exercise. I have an understanding of nutrition – I weigh my food and eat a specific number of calories/macros per day. My diet seems to be working as I am losing a little bit of the excess weight that I gained over the past few years (started at 120 pounds, down to about 108-109, with a little bit more to go).
I am looking for someone to assist me with exercising and stretching for 3 hours per day, 6-7 days per week. I generally know which exercises and stretches I need to do, and need someone to assist me and make sure I'm safe. My current focus is:
Core strength/stability
Hand/forearm strength
Cardiovascular strength
Ideal schedule: 9 AM – 12/1 PM, 6 or 7 days per week
The ideal candidate has good reflexes, since my core stability is weak and I could fall easily. I appreciate someone who is responsive and punctual. If you have some experience helping somebody with a disability that could be helpful, and it's not required.
Other notes:
My home is usually fairly warm
I have 2 friendly cats
You will be able to park in my building during our sessions
You're welcome to use the gym and sauna in my building before/after sessions
