Weightlifting and exercising when you are a short height as well as have a disabiliy.

Now, I don't know if it's the same way for people that are, let's say, taller in the six foot range, let's say if they struggle with the same thing to do to lift heavy weights. I also find that possibly due to my CP with my right side, that lifting weights can be a little bit more awkward, such as doing a shoulder press, mainly using my left arm

disability. To just share some of the things I noticed while exercising this morning and have noticed in the past due too being short.

Nick. Hey, Nick. I do work out with weights, but I'm also five nine, so shortness has never been an issue for me. Although I'm trying to think about my students. You know, a lot of them have so much muscle atrophy and other things going on that they actually don't work out with weights. So I think it's really good that you do. It's good to keep your body and mind in check. So I definitely think that's a good thing

@TheMs.Leanne Thanks so much Leanne. It does certainly help and I do greatly appreciate it.

Now that I think about it, in my situation, probably some reason why I struggle at times with finding a little awkward lifting weights is for a couple of reasons. One is probably due to my muscle atrophy that I have mainly with my right side, which is where my CP is primarily affected the most. So that might be a reason
