Hi Jackjones03
welcome to the community. We have some great posts that talk about this issue. It's rather long but there some great tips
https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/28690/things-that-you-have-found-helpful-for-managing-your-cp#latest
I'm not sure of the level of your mobility but I use a manual wheelchair and I have found this book useful: Zero Assistance Resistance Training by Dan Highcock.
All of the exercises can be done from a wheelchair or sitting. If I can help further, let me know.
