My Body: No Limits

Disabled model Sian Green explores the barriers to amputees getting active. She’ll face a new challenge – going to the gym on her own for the first time as an amputee.

Sian Green, a mum, body positivity motivational speaker and model from Leicester, explores the emotional and practical barriers to amputees getting active and the sense of belonging it brings.

The 32-year-old, is facing a new challenge – to go to her local gym on her own for the first time since she became an amputee. Nine years ago, whilst in New York, Sian was hit by a taxi, resulting in her losing her left leg.

Recently, Sian says an image of her has been used without her permission, and her prosthetic leg edited out, for a body positivity campaign launched by Spain's equality ministry. This has prompted Sian to face a personal barrier– to feel comfortable going to a gym without the support of her husband.
