MadMuscles Launches Free Adaptive Training Program for Wounded Veterans and People with Disabilities

The MadMuscles app has recently announced the launch of a new free program of adaptive training for individuals with amputations and limited mobility, veterans who sustained injuries as a result of military actions, as well as people who recover from surgeries or other injuries.

The program was created in cooperation with Ihry Neskorenykh in Ukraine (the Invictus Games community in Ukraine). Both professional coaches and team members took part in the program development. The MadMuscles adaptive program focuses on individuals who suffer from damaged limb functionality, spinal cord injuries, and war veterans who have finished the initial rehabilitation stage and are striving to get back to an active lifestyle.

What Makes the MadMuscles Workout Program the Best Choice for People with Disabilities and Injured Veterans: Top Facts

Starting the new training routine can be overwhelming, but MadMuscles has done its best to make the adaptive program simple, safe, and motivating:

• All you need to start free adaptive training is to download the MadMuscles mobile app and complete the short quiz to determine the workout routine that will work best for you.
• The program was developed by professional coaches who take part in the veterans’ rehabilitation and veterans from the community of Ihry Neskolenykh in Ukraine (the Invictus Games community in Ukraine) themselves, who have completed the first stage of rehabilitation
• The training program is divided into 6 categories based on different types of injuries and conditions.
• Exercises don’t require any special equipment and are designed to train whenever, wherever, and however you want and can.
• Users can also explore motivational content from former participants of the Invictus Games and adaptive sports influencers who will share their stories and experiences of rehabilitation.
• The MadMuscles app is available for both iOS and Android operating systems and doesn’t involve any complicated registration procedures.

Introduction to Adaptive Training: Workouts Based on the Capabilities of Your Body

The key peculiarity of adaptive programs is that they take into account the needs of people with amputations, spinal cord injuries, or other issues. MadMuscles believes that creating a program in accordance with the real capabilities of users makes it much more efficient when it comes to recovering balance, power, and stamina. With this, it gets easier to regain confidence and get a boost of motivation to keep an active lifestyle.

In addition to being adaptive in terms of physical abilities, the MadMuscles workout program also takes into account that people after rehabilitation can have limited access to different resources. Thus, MadMuscles training can be performed at home without any special gym equipment. Once the medical rehabilitation is complete, the user can safely get down to physical training.

Who Can Use the Program

What makes MadMuscles stand out from the crowd of other training apps is that it goes beyond basic fitness routines. The adaptive program is very specialized, and the professional coaches worked on it to make it suitable for six categories. So, the MadMuscles program is made for everybody from the following categories:

1. Combined impairment: One or both lower limbs + one upper limb.
2. Both arms: Double amputation or equivalent impairment.
3. Both legs: Spinal cord injury, double amputation, or equivalent impairment.
4. One arm: Amputation or functional impairment.
5. One leg: Amputation or functional impairment.
6. Preserved functionality: All limbs are partially or fully functional, and physical activity is possible.

All six categories will have access to safe and effective fitness routines tailored to their needs, along with inspirational stories of the veterans from the community of Ihry Neskorenykh in Ukraine (the Invictus Games community in Ukraine) and adaptive sports influencers.

Partnership with the Invictus Games community in Ukraine: How Coaches and Participants Helped to Develop the Program

For MadMuscles, authentic insights from those who know first-hand all the challenges of returning to an active lifestyle after suffering injuries became vital in creating the adaptive program. So, the team drew on the experience of the Invictus Games community in Ukraine, an initiative that aims to help war veterans come back to an active lifestyle through competition and adaptive sports. Those people know the pitfalls of the rehabilitation path better than anyone else. Only those who have a similar combat and athletic experience can estimate what is most effective for veterans and what will correspond with their actual needs.

By involving assistance from real war veterans who have suffered severe injuries and come back to an active lifestyle through sports, the MadMuscles aim to embrace expertise and trust. It is also vital to showcase these real examples to inspire users of the app and make them understand that nothing is impossible if you have the true inner strength!

More than Just Training: The Power of Motivation

Everyone who has been trying to go in for sports knows that you need not only physical ability to do exercises but also enough motivation to keep going. People who have suffered amputations or mobility limitations are often in a rather difficult mental state. They have to deal with immense psychoemotional pressure as they need to overcome insecurity, fear, and other psychological barriers to get a start.

All those challenges of a new reality influence the workout routine far more than most people realize. However, other fitness apps hardly pay attention to them. MadMuscles is going to change that perspective once and forever.

MadMuscles isn’t just a set of effective adaptive exercises but also a digital library of motivational content. The developers believe that such an approach inspired the program with a deeper meaning than just exercising, as it establishes real emotional ties between the app and users.

The most important thing about motivation within the app is that it introduces real stories of veterans who have already gone the same way and overcome the same difficulties. Their video stories will be a perfect showcase that even in the most difficult situations, a person with a strong will can achieve fitness goals. Injury isn’t a limitation for your strength, both inner and physical. Each video story delivers a simple yet real-life-based message: you can train, develop your power, and gain muscle mass — MadMuscles will guide you through this process effectively.

How to Start Training with the MadMuscles App

The top objective of MadMuscles was to make the program easy to use. That’s why the developers made its start as simple as possible. Complete these five simple steps on your way to an active lifestyle through adaptive training:

1. Download the MadMuscles mobile app from the Google Play or App Store.
2. Complete the adaptive quiz by specifying your physical conditions and the peculiarities of your injury to get a program that is tailored to your needs.
3. Read the instructions on safety measures.
4. Start your training whenever you are ready and keep track of your progress in real time.
5. Watch inspirational video stories of the members of the community of Ihry Neskorenykh in Ukraine (the Invictus Games community in Ukraine) and adaptive sports influencers.

MadMuscles Broadens the Inclusive Fitness Borders and Eliminates Barriers

Social inclusivity and digital adaptability are the key focuses of the MadMuscles adaptive program for individuals with amputations and war veterans. The developers of the program believe that they achieve this by completing the following roadmap:

• The adaptive program will be available in different languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Ukrainian, to ensure that the objective of providing efficient adaptive training will be fulfilled worldwide.
• The program is free and is developed with the help of professional coaches and those who have faced similar conditions resulting from their participation in combat.
• The MadMuscles app not only enables efficient training but also inspires people to become more confident in themselves through motivating stories of the veterans from the community of Ihry Neskorenykh in Ukraine (the Invictus Games community in Ukraine) and adaptive sports influencers.
