TJ Griffin is a quadriplegic who broke his neck playing football. But he still needs to work out.
The only way to really do it is cardio, Griffin said. Obviously I cant jog real well anymore.
Same goes for Jim Shires, who was paralyzed after an accident on a ski slope.
I tried to do some physical therapy through the insurance, Shires said. Thats only good for about two weeks.
All of us with a disability, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important, even more important than the average person, he added. The problem is we cant go to 24 Hour Fitness and work out. Theres no machines.
