Michel is into computers in a big way. It seems that if he’s not working on his computer, he is playing computer games, but now he makes sure to build physical activity into his day. And he doesn’t let the fact that he is using a wheelchair get in his way. He’s lucky – his company has a fitness facility, so he goes there once a day to lift weights or ‘wheel’ on the indoor running track. This usually takes about 30 minutes of his work day. A few days a week he plays pick up basketball after work with his friends. He is achieving the physical activity goals he set for himself and now knows that being in a wheelchair and being a “computer geek” doesn’t have to mean being physically inactive. What’s more, he still has plenty of time for his computer and he has rediscovered some of life’s other enjoyments!
