If you are making excuses for not exercising then this post is for you. It's time to stop making excuses and get yourself off of the couch. Recently, I caught a "Real Sports" episode on HBO which included a spotlight on Kyle Maynard. Kyle is a congenital amputee but he doesn't let it stop him from staying fit. Fitness is a huge part of his life and he is the owner of a gym in Suwanee, GA called "No Excuses CrossFit."
I had learned about Kyle several years ago and purchased his book No Excuses: The True Story of a Congenital Amputee Who Became a Champion in Wrestling and in Life. He is a true inspiration because he constantly pushes himself to new levels. Kyle has set and achieved goals that most people would think impossible. He has even fought in a cage match!
He modifies his workouts but keeps them challenging for himself. Check out the video below:
Kyle Maynard is truly inspiring and proves that there are no excuses!

I hate excuses why people cannot exercise. There are so many excuses why and how a person can exercise. I really appreciate this blog and video. Great job.
That’s pretty inspiring. There’s no excuse why you can’t exercise, only excuses why you dont want to exercise.
I agree. People who cannot exercise are just lazy to get into fitness and not because of reasons and excuses. Excuses are reasons of being lazy. I admire Kyle Maynard. He is truly a health warrior.
If Kyle isn´t a role model, then I don´t know who is? Keep going, Kyle!
Very inspiring indeed, makes us think how lucky we are and how much we can push ourselves!
Great stuff
