Flex Wheeler is one of the most respected bodybuilders in the bodybuilding world. After facing many life-threatening diseases, no one knows the importance of healthy living better than Wheeler. Therefore, the bodybuilding legend time and again tries to guide his fans and followers on the right path. Recently, Wheeler dropped a question for his fans to reflect upon the choices they make.

Some time back, Wheeler had done a poll on his Instagram, giving the followers two options to choose what they’d rather do. The choice was between spending money on Starbucks or their fitness goals. Looking at the results from the poll, Wheeler had a few words for those who chose Starbucks over fitness.

Flex Wheeler gives a piece of his mind

Earlier today, Flex Wheeler shared a video story on his Instagram. Wheeler attached the screenshot of the results of the poll he conducted a few days back. The results showed that 24% of people chose to spend their money on Starbucks. However, 76% would rather spend it on their fitness goals. Amazed that nearly a quarter of the people chose junk over health, Wheeler said, “I find it very interesting when people talk about something they cannot afford.”

He further added, “They always find the money for other things that they really want, less important. Eating out, Starbucks, fast food, and all that stuff. And then you say you cannot afford to invest in your own selves.” Ending it by asking his followers to reflect, Wheeler said, “Sit down and think about it. How much money do I blow on things that we don’t need and how much do I invest in myself? You’ll be surprised.”
