Jeremy Stadler was recently awarded a $2,500 scholarship for a new Invacore Top End Force 3 Handcycle, which he uses as his main form of cardiovascular exercise.
Jeremy tries out his new handcycle.
“Before I received my handcycle, I was doing sprints in my wheelchair through my neighborhood,” notes Stadler. “That never ended well, as once I gained speed, the front casters would wobble and I couldn’t get any real distance.”
Prior to his accident, Jeremy was working toward becoming a physique model, working out at the gym six days a week, boxing, jogging and road biking. He has not given up on that dream, and plans to pursue wheelchair bodybuilding. “You can complain about what you don’t have, or wake up and work with what you do,” emphasizes Stadler.
