Day 237

Day 237;

As today was another gym day but I failed to reach 20+ speed on the cross trainer this week, which sucks as I got so close just for my foot to come off, I got to a speed of 19.9.

So the hip abductors I'm still lifting the whole stack.

I didn't actually do much with my arms this week except a cross trainer and Everest, I'm not even sure it is actually called Everest but my personal trainer that bosses me about, always says stuff like let's see you climb Everest before you go,

Ok so my personal trainer told me this week to search the internet for  British Paralympics surrey university.  He said that I should look for sitting down sports, I'm not sure but I don't think that chess actually counts as a sport.

Oh darn it.

But I know what my Personal Trainer thinks that I should be classified as.

Irt is as a paraplegic,

Now what is paraplegia?

Surprise I know but I didn't exactly know but I gather that it's something to do with not having full control over your legs I used Wikipedia and it said...

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. The word comes from Ionic Greek: παραπληγίη "half-striking". It is usually caused by spinal cord injury or a congenital condition such as spina bifida that affects the neural elements of the spinal canal. The area of the spinal canal that is affected in paraplegia is either the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions. If all four limbs are affected by paralysis, tetraplegia is the proper terminology. If only one limb is affected, the correct term is monoplegia.

That despite my legs work fine, well fine enough to lift 150 kg I think on the hip abductors. So I am confused.
