    After serving in the United States Air Force, the famous martial artist won many martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do.

    And now, at 84 years of age, Chuck isn't slowing down, with one fan even branding him a "living legend."

    Heading to the gym whenever he can, Chuck lifts weights and leaves his fans in awe of his stamina despite nearing 90.

    MUSCLE MAN

    Chuck posted a video on Instagram this week where he could be seen lifting weights and doing so with total ease.

    "Rumor has it when I finish my workout, the weights have to take a break, haha," he wrote in the caption.

    Chuck went on, "All kidding aside, I hope you all had a great summer and continue to have a wonderful rest of your year."

    He then signed off with, "God Bless, Chuck Norris."

    In the video, Chuck wore some black trousers and a gray top, concentrating on lifting as he looked into the distance.

    "Hi son," he said as the video began, with his son walking over to him as he filmed, saying, "Hi dad, what are you doing?"

    Chuck replied, "Just warming up," with his son responding, "Oh, I see that, ah well, you have fun."

    The martial artist then replied, "Sure will," not looking at his son once and concentrating completely on his workout.

    LIVING LEGEND

    Fans were taken aback by Chuck's incredible workout, with one person commenting in disbelief, "This dude is 84."

    Someone else added, "Chuck Norris can dogde the wind."

    A third person then said, "Chuck Norris tells the gravity to make the weights lightweight."
