Ben Clark, dove into the sea “Baywatch style” and discovered it was shallower than he expected. The impact broke his neck, resulting in paralysis from the chest down.
Drawing on 10 years of experience as a professional swimmer, he was determined to get through his recovery with physical and mental strength.
Through his social media channels and his online fitness business Adapt to Perform, Ben aims to, “adapt workouts, nutrition, advice and motivation for any and all situations” so that working out and staying fit is accessible for all. I just love one of his favourite sayings, "There’s no path to happiness, happiness is the path."
