Health is a priority for athletes. Even if they do not participate in the sport anymore, it is important to keep one’s health in check. Regular check-ups and visits hold the utmost importance for an athlete. Although it can get cumbersome, a diagnosis is necessary. Bodybuilding legend and actor Lou Ferrigno echoes the same idea.

‘The Incredible Hulk’ star once posted a picture on Instagram where he was lying on a dentist’s chair. While Lou has been in good shape even after retiring from bodybuilding, he thought it would be a good idea to get checked. The icon talked about his experience in the caption.
