Wheelchair excersize...?

can you do sit ups and push ups with a bullet in your back? does anyone know of any good websites for excersizing in a wheelchair???

i was in wheelchair for almost a month in december-janurary and i did pushups - just sit in it and lift your body - it doesnt put any stress on other parts of your body except arms
and you can do crunches in bed or just flex abs for 15-30sec (thats one rep) and do 10-20reps 1-3 sets.
when i got on crutches my arms got workout all day long and i burned a lot of calories because my heart rate was in cardio zone - 30min on crutches was harder than 3 hours at the gym

I would suggest talking with a physical therapist but if that is not an option you can easily adapt upper body workouts to your chair. Water aerobics is also a really good option, your community college or public swimming pool should offer something.
