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

This is so amazing to see someone like him believe in himself and exercise. And he also helps others!
Is he going to fight again
Great stuff
A real true believer, thanks for the inspiration, I have no excuse now.
The post is great motivation for many of us. Your positive thinking is so helpful to me. There is no excuse for exercise, if you want to be healthy and fit. You have to work for it.
