Bodybuilding legend Kevin Levrone is fully embracing functional fitness in retirement. In a recently published Instagram post on June 8, 2025, he showed off a ripped six-pack and huge arms fresh off his cardio training session.
Levrone was one of the greatest bodybuilders in the IFBB Pro League to not win a Mr. Olympia title. However, he came incredibly close and gave juggernauts of the sport a run for their money. He went toe-to-toe against Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Cutler. During the prime years of his tenure, Levrone weaponized his shape and aesthetics to claim a pair of Arnold Classic titles in 1994 and 1996.
While Levrone isn’t pulling or pushing weight like he used to, he still prioritizes his fitness since stepping off stage. Now that he no longer desires to walk around at 250-260 pounds, he’s gotten behind more cardio. Push-ups, sit-ups, box jumps, walking, and running make up his current routine at 60 years old. He also incorporates intermittent fasting to help keep his body fat percentages in check.
In light of his physique improvements and progress, some fans have suggested that Levrone should return for the Masters Olympia contest, a haven for older bodybuilders from yesteryear who still have the desire to train and compete. However, as of this writing, Levrone has not expressed interest in making a potential bodybuilding comeback.

Bodybuilding Star Kevin Levrone Shows Off Ripped Physique Post-Cardio
In the recent Instagram post, Levrone appeared lean and muscular, courtesy of his physique update:
“The grind doesn’t ask how you feel. It only answers to what you do,” shared Kevin Levrone.
Levrone still keeps tabs on the latest shakeups in the Men’s Open. He believes the division he once dominated has undergone some big changes, most notably in terms of aesthetics. Levrone contends that reigning six-time Classic Physique Olympia Chris Bumstead changed the game, prompting judges in the Open to now focus more on shape and aesthetics than sheer mass and freak factor.
Even in retirement, Levrone has been lifting weights that some active bodybuilders might pause at. He powered through 12 reps of behind-the-neck shoulder presses, amounting to a staggering 315 pounds, showcasing remarkable upper body strength.
At 60 years old, Levrone isn’t slowing down. Although his training goals have changed years after his time onstage, his efforts underscore what is possible when the focus is longevity.
