Flex Wheeler is making some great progress with his new prosthetic leg.
Losing a limb is something most people don’t have to think about. For many it’s something that’s reserved for those in military combat, who’ve been caught in a trap, or someone with an unfortunate health issue.
Flex Wheeler fit into that latter category. The bodybuilding legend had to amputate his right leg due to underlying health issues.
It came as a shock to many. While Flex Wheeler has had health issues in the past, no one could have anticipated this outcome.
But despite the harrowing situation, Flex Wheeler is keeping his spirits up. The legendary bodybuilder is vowing to walk again and with his prosthetic leg it seems like he’ll be able to keep that promise.
The video below posted to his Instagram shows Flex Wheeler getting more proficient with walking on his prosthetic leg.
Flex Wheeler appears to be getting more acclimated to his new leg. It’s all but a certainty that the bodybuilding legend has the mental fortitude to master the prosthesis and make a return to form.
