Thanks for your post. I don't your level of mobility. I use a manual wheelchair so I like to use dumbbells to keep my arms and shoulders as strong as I can. I find abdominal exercises a lot more difficult.
A book I have found useful is Zero Assitance, Resistance Training by Dan Highcock.
I would recommend starting at a low weight and slowly build up. Also, stretch and warm up your arms before starting a prolonged exercise.
Let me know how you get on.

I thinking about joining a gym Richard
There is a great social side to joining a gym. One of the downsides to exercising on your own can be the boredom factor.

I did gym induction, but I found I could not use any of gym equipment while siting in my wheelchair
