Exercises for using my wheelchair?

I've always had an issue when I'm using my wheelchair of a lack of any real strength/power. Now this isn't a new thing as I've never really been equipped upper body strength wise, and having MS really doesn't help matters. I'm just wondering what exercises people could recommend to build up the stamina and strength when i'm using my chair? Much love to all :-)

Evening Gave Just a thought but what about those velcro on wrist weights, you could just wear them in the morning use the chair and forget about them, you'd soon get used to the extra weight am sure I used to wear them while power walking thy do work

I'm not sure thazt wrist weights would help strengthen tghe required muscle groups as I think a lot of the strength comes from the chest region, worth a thought though.
