Bodybuilding legend, Flex Wheeler, retired from professional bodybuilding a long time ago, but he continues to inspire everyone. Not even a leg amputation has stopped the icon from hitting the gym. While several people feel lazy to go to the gym, Wheeler did not even let travel tiredness stop him from skipping training day.

In a recent Instagram story, the bodybuilder has again inspired people by sharing a video of himself doing some reps even after a tired day. And he also had a special message for his followers. Here is what the bodybuilder shared.

Flex Wheeler does not need excuses

In his recent Instagram story, Wheeler can be seen doing some leg work out with his amputated leg. He captioned this story and wrote, “Just back from a weekend travel…but that doesn’t matter.”

If an amputated leg cannot stop Wheeler from working out, then no amount of travel fatigue will let him take the back seat. He further added why never skipping a training day is important for one’s own health. In all caps, Wheeler wrote, “Getting work in no matter what! INVEST IN YOURSELF!”

During his bodybuilding days, Wheeler was diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a form of kidney disease. Due to this, the ‘Sultan of Symmetry’ had to undergo various surgeries. However, his health condition kept deteriorating, forcing Wheeler to quit bodybuilding.
