The materials you're going to need are to first seek the advice of your physician. Seek the help of a Certified Fitness Professional. You're going to need a space to exercise. You're going to need some equipment to use to exercise and you're going to need a sound nutritional program. I don't like the term disabled. I prefer the term differently abled. We all have our own special abilities and unless you are just at a situation where you cannot move your body at all, there is something that you can do. Certainly it's necessary for somebody who is disabled to seek the advice of their physician whether you are going to a physical therapist or you seek the help of a Certified Fitness Professional, it's important that initially you work with someone that can work around the different abilities that you have. Develop a routine that you make and do on your own. It could be something as simple as using exercise bands whether it be the tubing or the therapeutic bands, dumbbells, you know, there are many people who are in wheelchairs that actually perform in bodybuilding contests, participate in bodybuilding contests.
