In his most recent exploit, the 76-year-old icon proved he still has plenty of intestinal fortitude by hopping off the bar stool and whipping off his shoes to complete an impressive four-minute plank. Of course, the internet suitably responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeast mode activated,\u201d read Flair\u2019s description of his planking exploits, posted via Instagram for his 2.6 million followers. Swapping a beverage for ab-work, the master of the figure-four leglock, who last wrestled on an independent show just three years ago, went barefoot as he readied himself on the floor, jeans and all! The video quickly caught the attention of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/charlotte-flair-refuses-to-lose-focus-on-fitness-and-her-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flair\u2019s WWE Superstar daughter, Charlotte<\/a>,who commented, \u201cI mean this would be great if it was in the gym\u2026 I just can\u2019t.\u201d No doubt about it, growing up with a wrestling legend for a father means having to put up with embarrassing situations from time to time. As The Nature Boy lowered and straightened up his back, someone at the bar had the bright idea of timing his impromptu exercise. \u201c4-minute plank!\u201d confirmed Flair via Instagram, signing off with his trademark \u201cWOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Internet Reacts as Ric Flair completes a very public 4-minute plank<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from his blushing daughter, there were plenty of others within the pro wrestling community who also watched Flair\u2019s public planking. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty savage\u2026. And on linoleum!!!\u201d commented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/aew-star-brian-cage-bodybuilding-and-powerbombs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brian Cage<\/a>. Mercedes Money showed her encouragement with a \u201cWOOOO\u201d of her own, while his fans couldn\u2019t wait to weigh-in on the wrestler\u2019s accomplishment. \u201cHe will never retire,\u201d wrote one fan. \u201cBig respect to you,\u201d wrote another. This being the internet, others were of course less charitable. \u201cTook a 4-minute nap disguised as a plank,\u201d wrote one joker.<\/p>\n<p>The plank is a great test of stamina that tightens the core and improves posture. We salute Flair\u2019s desire to stay in shape, but we are with Charlotte on this one \u2014 the gym is the place for planking, not the bar!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To follow Ric Flair on Instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ricflairnatureboy\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/ric-flair-76-shocks-fans-with-4-minute-plank-at-restaurant\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sixteen-time world wrestling champion Ric Flair is known for \u201cstylin\u2019 and profilin\u201d in the wrestling ring, but despite officially retiring from WWE in 2008, the man they call \u201cThe Nature Boy\u201d has never lost his love of getting physical.
