Here is a very good site about exercise.
Exercise programming may range from therapeutic standing to progressive resistive exercise and should be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Prior to beginning an exercise program, it is important to work under the consultation of a physician who specializes in spinal cord injury. Choosing a facility with experienced personnel and adaptive equipment is also essential.
A well rounded exercise program should include components that promote fitness and help to maintain functional independence. As in any exercise program, consistency is essential. A three to four day per week commitment is necessary. Some components of the exercise program can be incorporated into a home program, while others may necessitate special equipment or supervision. Exercise participation may be limited depending on the level of function and/or adaptability of equipment. It may also be difficult to find a facility with the support and equipment necessary to carry out an effective exercise program.
