that's a really good point @Anonymous ! i am very privileged to be able to exercise without worrying about any limitations to my movement so had not thought about it.
i imagine what forms of exercise that can be done would depend on the range of mobility however so some people might have very limited opportunities of how they can exercise. you inspired me to do some research on this, and i found that there is actually quite a few recommendations on exercise for people with disabilities (such as cerebral palsy, TBI, multiple sclerosis). a book i found lots of information from is ACSM's Exercise Management for Persons With Chronic Diseases and Disabilities, which is geared towards health professionals and shows that there are people thinking about this sort of stuff. so it might not be "traditional" exercise but there definitely ways for practically everyone to exercise which is wonderful (in my opinion)!
thanks for the great question, it was really interesting looking further into it and expanding past my usual (rather self-centred) thinking.
