Come join the bandwagon. This book explores what it means to be fit and how to get there, offering suggestions for people who face additional barriers. While barriers come in all shapes and sizes, this book focuses on overcoming mobility issues, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases in the pursuit of fitness. Beyond analyzing common pitfalls that work against fitness and methods of overcoming them, Fitness for People with Disabilities also discusses diets and exercises that you might just enjoy.
