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 a sufficient amount of Spanish and Urdu.
I have a neuromuscular condition that is generally progressive and does improve with exercise. I have an understanding of nutrition and 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 excess weight that I gained over the past few years (started at 120 pounds, down to about 109-110, with a little bit more to go).
I am looking for someone to assist me with exercising and help me with stretching for 3 hours per day, 6-7 days per week. I generally know which exercises I want to do, and need someone to spot me and make sure I'm safe. My current focus is:
Core strength/stability
Hand/forearm strength
Full body stretching
Ideal schedule: 8:00 – 11:00 AM, 6 or 7 days per week
The ideal candidate has good reflexes and is communicative, punctual, reliable, organized, and tech savvy. If you have some experience helping somebody with a disability that could be helpful but 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
