How can I get cardio in if I'm crippled...

oh no buy a dumbbell are press it over your head, can you?

maybe once or twice but not long enough for cardio

this sounds pretty good ill let you know how that goes

Doesn't rule out swimming, rest your chest on a floating board.

thanks, goodluck man

Seated boxing bag cardio might work. Not as effective as normal boxing but it's still cardio. Do it HIIT style with a tabata timer for 20 minutes.

swimming can be done without using legs though
also you can try riding a wheel chair as cardio, there is this dude on my gym that he does half marathons on his wheelchair and he is pretty fast with it, he also rides it on the threadmil

thanks these are some great common sense solutions

For the swimming thing don't use a noodle, they make leg floats you clamp with your shins. Could probably do thighs instead.
