65 and exercise 6 days a week. Still as strong as ever. Use it or loose it. What good is living longer if your not fit enough to enjoy your life.
(What good is living longer if your not fit enough to enjoy your life) very well said.
Well said!
That's awesome 💪🏼 24, preparing now because I know those days are coming quick.
@@damon5894 You’re a smart guy since you see that at 24 because you’re 100% correct, it goes very fast. I just turned 60 and 24 seems like yesterday.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Thank you sir! And I hope it was a Happy Birthday. You have 30+ years of knowledge and wisdom on me.
Love it-I’m 72, started road cycling again 3 years ago, ride 130 ish miles every week, have done 6,000 miles this year so far, dropped 20 lbs over 18 months, was only 158 lbs to start with at 5ft 9inches. You just have to keep going and doing what you love-life is too short to waste it.....
Awesome 👏🏻 John!! Keep it up!!! I’m 46 and really hope to still climb, skate, surf and snowboard when I get into my 70’s..and for sure it will be here before I know it. I’m looking back now asking, ‘where did the time go?’
John, thank you for sharing! I’m inspired.
Literal manlet.
Stay safe z
@Aquatic Mullet surf
This is the shit. I'm 50 and I'm sprinting! Cleaned the crap out of my diet and started working out. What a difference it makes when you decide to make the effort.
It's huge. I'm 65 and have always worked out. Started a landscape business after I retired because I absolutely love the physicality of building patios and retaining walls. Even after a hard day of work I look forward to my routine.
You a beast! Sprinting is no joke at any age👍
Just finished my first ultramarathon yesterday at age 55! Gonna keep moving!!!
Nice work David 🤙
@@Radmannnn24 Way to go!!
You're awesome
Great job! I did my first ultra this year as well, at 59. A fun challenge.
@@markmcfadden7428 A fun challenge? Jenga is a fun challenge.
I’m 57, and I’ve been working out since I was 14, and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. When you stop moving, you start to rust! That’s mine.
Yep! Keep on going!
@@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving 💪🏽👍🏽
I have exactly the same mentality brother... Just keep moving...
As a 14 year old who started lifting at 13, this is a huge motivation!
@@BOWShortClips That’s great! Go for it, and always take care of your body. It’s a gift that shouldn’t be wasted. I wish you all the best!😉👍🏽💪🏽
My dad is 88 is still works out. Was an athlete all his life. 7 kids and never stopped.
Honestly, at age 55 this is the main focus of my life. I'm in the best shape ever and I just want to keep it going til I die.
Yes
You're in the best shape at 55? What the hell were you doing in your actual prime?
Good on you my friend. Keep it up brother!!
Same age and definitely agree 55 just a number ,I run , walk weights and punch bag 4/5 times a week and love the buzz, sorry endorphins release .
@@chriswilson1968 Your mama
I’m 55 years young. And I always remember the saying . A body at rest stays at rest, a body in motion stays in motion. And I will live like that til the day God takes me. Really enjoyed this video, thank you and God bless.
Any time I'm in the gym and I see an 80 year old guy just starting to work out, or a very obese person in the first week, those are the people I'm most impressed by. Sure, there are legions of super-ripped beasts there, and they've put in a lot of hard work, but it takes tremendous courage to make those first steps when you've got some odds stacked.
Amen! 🙏
in climbing gyms there are old guys like 80. The guys who were really into sports dont give up because of age. There's plenty of them.
I'm a 70 year old over-weight woman who still does bike races. I may not be first or second over the line, but I make it over the line... the best example of what I can be and accomplish. Go out and move!!!
Good work. I feel ya.
When I was a teenager I used to imagine 30 yr olds as being "old." Now that I am in my early 30's not only do I see I was wrong, but i am in 1000 times much better shape than when i was a teenager. I grow more self aware every year and i can only imagine getting better and better in my 40's. Your body is an amazing tool. As long as you are able to break through mental barriers, the body is capable of taking you beyond your limits. The first time I ran a marathon I realized that we are so much more capable of what we think we can do. Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live in. Be good to your body, and it will be good to you. Don't forget about your mental health as well. The physical and mental together are unstoppable. If you are reading this and you are someone who is struggling with your physical or mental health, don't give up. Where there's a will , there's a way. Good luck!!!
You are still growing & young until
you are age 31. Add 31 more years
at 62 or 10 more to 72 & tell me if
you have the same perspective.
well said and great video. laird is a machine and an example of what's possible now. im 45 years old. i can do inverted aerial rotations on a surfboard i couldnt do when i was an aspiring professional at 19. i train in jiu jitsu, i do yoga 6 hours a week at least. its all in your head. i can smoke most 22 year olds in the water and in the ring. dont listen to what people tell you. we are pure energy at the quantum scale. matter does not exist. it is an illusion. If we are not meant to connect in the moment with everything then what are we here to do? Find the thing that makes you connect with it all. i want to be the fittest ive ever been at 50. its possible. it really is.
Well said!
Mind & body do not exist & do not prevail. Only the one true Self, Consciousness does
Yeh, 30s are awesome. We're just big kids really.
Yes, like others commenting, I'm in better shape at 55 than I was 15 years ago. I'm consistently in the top 10% of mountain bike riders on downhill sections on trails around my town. However, I think you should avoid being overwhelmed by all that is in the video. Perfection is not necessary. You don't have to be a world-class athlete. You don't need EVERY spoke tightened. Start with three spokes. Eat well, sleep well, exercise - cardio and weights (functional strength helps avert injury). From that foundation, you can build toward happiness. Be more engaged in the world, better self-esteem, and stronger relationships. As Laird said at the beginning, start small - run to the end of the street EVERY day. Build that healthy habit and the others that follow.
@Bush Doctor yes, good advice.
Well thought out and well said Peter.
Good advice , all movement is beneficial.
I'm 64 retired,I surf every day the waves are good approximately 4-5 days a week,ride a short board,walk miles on our beach when the waves aren't happening,or sometimes I do both,I stretch,eat very healthy,no alcohol,no smoke,no drugs.Im in better shape now than in college,and my family life is ideal. Pure Vida!
Oh man congrats. I’m 62 and feel like a total wreck. So glad you are able to get out and do what you want. Maybe someday I’ll feel like a human again.
Your lifestyle is very encouraging to me. I am mid 45, surf 4-5 days a week, typically on a long board as our waves are usually crap. Sometimes I do long distant sails with my kite and a foil. I dont drink, drug or use tobacco. The 3 years of abstinence from alcohol has been the hardest but it is totally worth it. Additionally, I have incorporated a very thorough, daily stretch session and add a little more just before paddling out. Pura Vida BTW...i met my wife in Costa while on a surf trip.
@Mike Fitzpatrick that's the plan, thanks for the encouragement!
I’m 60, retired to Mexico and do CrossFit everyday. Love it. Bench pressed 250lbs last week six times after my CrossFit work out of the day (WOD).
Laird has such a powerful positive mindset. It’s very inspiring. A true athlete. Watched him ride that insane wave bigger than anyone. You have to have your shit together mentally to do that 😂. Awesome human being.
I appreciate the motivation. One challenge that comes with age is accepting the drop off in performance. No matter how motivated you are, there is a normal deterioration that comes with age, and dealing with that constructively can be a challenge.
And that's the one thing these influencers will never admit to including whatever PEDs they are on.
I'm a 58 year old Arborist, Still climbing and moving quickly. The young 20-30's trip on me. I eat and drink what i want. I feel young? It's a mind set. sweat it out!
Worked construction with a few older dogs that could run circles around me. Get it dude
Just wanted to comment. I own a plumbing business and I have a customer who is a retired arborist. He’s 71 years old. He’s a awesome dude. He climbs his trees in his back yard 7 days a week to stay young!!!!! That’s amazing hey?
Mann what a great video. Its very inspiring. Im 48 and stopped exercising a few years ago. Ive been sick and gaining weight not wanting to change my diet.
I just paddled 4 miles and this video helped me so much. Very encouraging. Thank you Joe and Laird. Time to turn this train around!
The effort it takes to confront and overcome the struggle is what makes earning it so rewarding....
Thanks for the information, my body is recovering from a brain tumour, body is wanting to rebuild itself more and more each day. Now coming up to 62.
You can do it! Wish you the best
Just the fact that you say that your body wants to rebuild itself sounds like you have the right attitude:). To your health.
Good luck to you
Thank you everyone. The more I do work out moves the body feels better, and weight changes are rearranging there positioning. Slowly but surely I should be fully fit. Just to let you know I do not drink alcohol or have taken any type of drug. Apart for this recent medical to treatment.
Good luck and God Bless.
Balance the stress… if your comfortable all the time you don’t improve/evolve … if you are always stressed, you most likely will get sick either mentally or physically … balance is the key all y’all...🌀❤️🌀
True, but . . .
To get to the next level you need that in between stage of being unbalnced, before you regain your new balance at a higher lever.
(Should you wish to operate at a higher level. - And there is nothing wrong with NOT wanting too either.)
@@jamesart9 agreed, point on...
Interesting concept
I was a distance runner, marathoner, and triathlete in my younger days until I started my real career at 35. The demands of everyday life, family , and the job kind of killed that aspect of my life. I miss running a lot and at 67 I’m pretty much just reduced to long walks now due to lower back issues. Sometimes it’s not just mind over matter. Father Time takes its toll on all of us in different ways. My advice to you younger guys would be to keep on keeping on and don’t let your fitness slip away because once it’s gone you may not ever get it back.
It's hard to get it back, I quit for 20+ so I could be in a drunken stuper...2010 I quit drinking and it took over 2 years to become a athlete again...ten years later and I am still improving...
Sometimes it IS mind over matter . . .but we make excuses.
There are amazing new (and old) treaments for lower back pain.
Dorn Method. Somatics, Etc.
IF it was important, short of spinal disconnection, you CAN find a way.
IF. . . it is imprtant to you.
Me. I've had two broken backs, dozens of fractures over a 50 year period, BUT, I am still flexible and strong.
It may also be a simple matter of CHOOSING which activities you wish to excel at now, rather that having the preconceptio of still wanting to run a marathon or 10 second 100m.
Sometimes just being able get up of the floor in a fluid and strong motion is an achievement. (A surprisingly rare one if you watch.)
But just being able to move your body how you wish, and to its fullest range of motion, is wonderful enough.
@@jamesart9 Follow David Goggins...
@@masterspin7796 Thank you, I shall check him out.
Gabby sometimes if you can eat better. Lose weight and start small but eventually gain muscle strength in your back your back pain will diminish. I wish you well don’t give up. Stretching and occasional icing is huge too. But seriously. Stretching is a game changer.
I'm 60 and on another level for dudes my age. Laird is one of the few guys I actually follow cuz he's the real deal and world class grinder.
I’m 62. After pushing myself to do some intense workouts recently, I was able to do some things I was unable do in my 30s. Rogan’s correct that it’s mental tiredness; I used to do triathlons & marathons, but just got mentally sick of those, so my workouts are entirely different now. I also started doing some other (non-exercise) things that are new to me, and that I never thought I could do. Struggle, mental activity, and novelty are all essential to staying young at heart.
Just finished my ultra nap 2 hours, feels good
Thank you. I’ve just watched this great film and it has inspired me to keep going. I quit smoking and drinking 3 years ago and started road bicycle racing a year later. Unfortunately covid has put a stop to racing for the past 10 months, my last race was March 2020. It’s sometimes difficult when you struggle up a hill or when it takes a lot longer to recover than it used to when I was 20yrs old but I’m glad I got back to it. I’m so much happier in myself now than when I was drinking and smoking. It’s a great feeling to have no props and to be able to get a high from natural endorphins. I’m 43 yrs old. This film has helped put my mind at ease. Things change slightly when you get past 40 yrs old but I think a lot of it is in the mind, responsibilities, caring for elderly relatives, seeing people around you age etc. I think I will be watching this film many times to keep me inspired to keep going, keep fit, keep healthy and stay positive. Thanks again, great film. Mark. 💪👊🏻👍
Saw Jack LaLane twice speaking in San Luis Obispo while in college in da 80's, talk about a no excuses attitude! To quote him, "Excercise is king, diet is queen, put them together and you will have a kingdom". Loved that dude.
Awesome mentality!
Man super motivating. Getting old is tough but the secret is to not give up or give in but keep on going. Excercise is the key to longevity.
I transformed my life from stage 4 alcoholic to the best shape in my life in 9 months thanks to weightlifting, medical Cannabis and and creatine
That is some freaking transformation. Much respect i hope you have the strength to stay clean
What is stage four ?
@@plusbonus1165If you keep drinking, you’re going to die. Soon.
I'm 75+, and surfing as many days as weather and surf provides. A 2-4 hr session is my day, or more on a super fun swell. At least 1-2 fun ones to remember, to sleep on, makes my day worthy. Sharing and good vibes are necessary. Riding different boards keeps me tuned to what size or shape there is. Each day is a new adventure, in or out of the water. Age is just a word , and having fun is my goal. Started at 12, and still finding something new to try. Keep moving. Life is free to enjoy.
How do you feel when you go into a choppy sea where you need to keep fighting the waves to get outside?
It’s amazingly simple. The body works best when it’s healthy and strong.
So true!
Downhill, backcountry skiing at high level until 47. until doctor begged me not to go due to mulitple injuries that needed surgery. Still hiking mountains, and ripping on my mountain bike huge rides and descents with jumps etc. Paddle boarding every chance I get, and travel to surf. I am 54 now and will continue the sufferfest!
😀😎👍
I love it and you RIP! THx for the inspiration and here's some back at you : shattered C-5 @ 32, fused 4-5-6 and did helis in the bumps 100 days later...2 ribs 4 breaks punctured lung @ 38 over rotating a teleheli, and now still spinning @ 56 showing my 14 year old what's up,...And I shared neck deep snow with him last season. So blessed to still charge. Conclusion: We were meant to do this man. Suffer for your passions and enjoy the consequences!
Get it kid!!!!!
@@mtnvalley9298 Love it!! I skied with the teletubbys...lol........ guys charging as hard as the downhill crowd, with most of the same tricks!
Put in the sufferfest Saturday mtn biking, body was hurting, but kept telling it....only one more lap!! Lol
Take care man, have a great season!
Thank you! I am turning 65 and I will continue to keep moving and doing the things i enjoy doing until the very end of this journey
My uncles 92 and living well. Only complaint is not enough energy to do everything he wants to do.
He laughs a lot
48 and just stopped playing Rugby at 45- eventually the pain everyday was jus too much. But didn’t stop- got back into mtbing. Not just pedaling around some trails- I mean sending it, jumps, gnar, skateparks etc. Still hit the gym, hike, run as much as I can, surf when I can- altho the years of Rugby took their toll on my knees and now the pop up can be painful. But still don’t let it stop me. There are some things I have had to cut out because of injuries, or do a bit differently but I keep on keeping on. Improvise, adapt, overcome. But above all, keep going.
I turned 50 this year and thanks to working out 5 to 6 days a week Im full of energy and feel great! Every workout makes me feel even better than the day before! Its a full on health addiction! Lol. Great Video!
Im 54 next month
Love working out
I have a body of a 30 year old
I'm 54 now. Love training. Had an accident that became cerebral haemorrhage and the doctor didn't allow me to do any heart rate training. I listend and started when they said it was okey.
My wish to get on with good training again was too fast so I ended up with worse and worse results. Now I try to listen to my body (it's very hard because my life is training)
Now I focus on having fun. Driving Mountainbike on forest path, and some climbing on walls. Stops earlier than usually and hoping that this way will make it possible to soon do much more training. I need to do training, training is my engine in my life. I love most sorts of training.
This was an awesome video! I’m 40 and I don’t want to give up any ground and don’t feel like I need to. This video hit it the nail on the head... never stop moving till the casket drops. It’s never over till it’s over.
I've never surfed but I've been in the ocean regularly my whole life. I love the water and am an expert swimmer, but those waves scare the shit out of me! The man is a total beast!!!
Overcome that feat - surfing is amazing and so rewarding!
The thing I dislike most about Laird Hamilton, is I'll never be as cool as that guy.
Only 65 hip so badly damaged the right hip now worn out too, final stage emphysema (oxygen 70% of day) thrashed my body way too much, but in 50s big wake up, veg juice keeps me going but Laird's been hero decades now & reckon JoB realises Laird knows care for the vessel is paramount. Keep on doing it Laird's way, Awesome 😉
He is Too Cool, ✌️
You already making excuses... believe in yourself one day anything you dream can be possible.
I love my Dad. But he gave up on fitness in his fifties, he's now type two diabetic. And now uses his age as an excuse to stay out of shape and diabetic, I don't want to end up that way. I'm 41 in 3 weeks time and I want to be fitter when I'm 51 then when I'm 41.
You can do it, Andy! Just do it!
54, l had pondered as a late teen, thinking about anti-aging. With this came research and commitment to staving aging off. People say l look in my early 40. This is living a hard life of work, working out and sports, being broken up more times than l care to think about. I date ladies in their 20’s and refuse to allow my brain to let the aging take over. Grow old gracefully, ya right, as they say in aviation, that’s a sucker hole. You have to deal with aging like your in a fight. Don’t give up, go right at it. Be well my dudes.
Still dating 20 year olds? Yeah age can be a state of mind BUT reality here is saying that trying to ‘prolong’ your youth by dating 30 year younger women, is first not something to ‘brag’ about at all and not going to make YOU feel any younger. And second it’s bizarre for you to think that dating 30 year younger women gets you some kind of award or something. It’s actually very immature and shows that you think that it’s perfectly normal when it’s NOT AT ALL normal. Why in the world would you think that you’ll have some meaningful relationship with a 20 year old? You sound silly and very immature as a 54 year old man but I guess you wouldn’t mind be called a ‘kid’ from the sound of it. No 20 year old wants to settle down with a 54 year old!! (Unless your filthy rich of course) That’s why you keep going from one to another cause they ain’t looking for that and obviously you are. It’s just gross man, grow up and do yourself a favor and find someone that’s near your age cause you’ll never be able to relate to a 20 year old enough to have her want to be with you for the rest of your life!
Dating 20 year olds doesn’t keep you young minded, being a responsible mature adult that takes care of his family as well as being active in sports and in great physical shape keeps you young minded. Your Way to weird and bizarre for me.. and I’m in my mid 40’s so don’t say I don’t understand cause I still skate climb surf and snowboard. Playing the same sports when your older as you did when younger also keeps you young minded..so many ways to stay mentally young other than dating girls 30 years younger..smh 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻
@@metanoiavision4365 Wow, a lot of thought put into your your reply and trying to shame me. No worries bruh. The thing about assumptions are just that. You don’t know me from Adam. I said 20’s not 20. I didn’t say l was proud about dating ladies in their 20’s. What l am proud of is raising two successful and good citizens on my on with no help from a deadbeat mother. Holding my own on a motocross track or mma mat with guys half my age is another.
The fact that l did the work and was lucky with decent genes is something that l will never feel ashamed or weird about. Younger ladies are happy to hang out with me based solely on this and my frame. Nothing based on money or fame, get it?
You are clearly a victim of postmodernism. Probably cheering when leathery old bags like Madonna or Demi-Moore are riding the 20 year old cock carrousel. If you look on any dating app, you will see an ocean of mid 40’s “cougars” acting as full time semen receptacle. All those episodes of sex and the city has conditioned you well. You have had your limitations set quite nicely for you by a feminist leaning society and your wife. Good luck with all that man.
@@metanoiavision4365 What he's doing is fine/good and fun, dear Judger.
Severely underrated channel. Keep up the good work man. Really enjoyed this one.
Much appreciated Andrew. Spread the word!
55 and still speed skating my azz off. 30 years of land speeed surfing!
My wife doesn't know this is the reason why im never getting out the Army Reserves. These young soldiers keep me fit. Im in my mid 30s and a lot of my peers are getting fat. While I can still run 13 min 2 mile with ease. I don't eat beef or pork.
I think finding my flight suit in the back of my closet brought home my active duty life. I miss it!
46 here, just watching this as I'm hydrating and getting ready for my 3rd day snowboarding this week. I also climb, send it on mountain bikes, SUP, hike and love to lift. Find something you love, put in the work so you can do what you love. No motivation needed!
Well said!
What an eye opener! Very inspirational. I'm 48 and felt like giving up. I just wanted to chuck the towel in an admit defeat, eat pizza, and get fat(er) I've run 3 marathons but after constant niggles and injuries I've let my defeatist attitude get the better of me....until I watched this.
Enthusiasm in pushing your limits is art, to C urself paint the picture in Ur mind of Ur performance & fkn nail it. Is a beautiful thing.
Age is a state of mind and a decision. I am 44 running ultra marathons...because I chose to not go quietly in to old age accepting you can't do things.
Just great! I will turn 72 January 5th, consistent serious lifter since 1969 along with a spattering of martial arts, (these things to combat bullying, It stopped.) I added meditation and yoga in my late sixties and recently hill sprints and still spend a few minutes every day on the heavy bag for kicks and punches. With regard to diet intermittent fasting has been amazing. I was never great at anything , however , I was convinced if I remained the last man standing and never quit I would move up the ranks as others gave up....looks like I was right!
Legend! 👍🏻
Laird is a true waterman. Clearly he was born to do what he does.
The greatest things in life are those that are the hardest to achieve.
Like finding a girlfriend that actually makes you want to have sex.
I'm 98 years old and I now bench 860 lbs. It's never too late!
Yooo for a second I believed that 😂😂😂
This made my day!
Hahaha!
What a message ~ I lift 6 days a week, and I just turned 49. I’ll rest when I’m dead.
Enjoy all these men that you’ve been speaking about Eddie, Laird and Tom. Thank you, Joe
I'm 51 and I've never stopped surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. I'm definitely stronger than I was in my 20s. Recovery is a little slower but I still try to do at least one of the three every day. Running water never goes stale.
Wow, this was so great and inspiring -- I was expecting a rehash of the podcast, but you turned it into so much more with the edits and stunning visuals!
Started stand up paddle surfing at age 52. I'm 55 now. It's a challenge every time I go out...some level of "fear" but also respect for the ocean. It's the best feeling when you get out of the water and realize what you are capable of doing. Fear of looking foolish? Who gives a shit. Live life.
12 km daily walks. 500 x 40 kg kettlebell swings a week. 200 x 15kg clubbel torch presses a week. Once a week hillsprint workout. Once a week boxing
You guys are a complete inspiration to me. I have done mild exercise all my life , I always take the stairs, people always say I walk too fast, I got into a lazy state just before lock-down, that was in February March here in Europe.So I started a new regime I started doing Bur-pees , the first one nearly killed me.I mean I nearly threw up! I felt like an old man. I could not believe how unfit I had become. I started rowing regularly on a water rower doing HIT.5 minutes warm up followed by 3 x20 second HITs every other day. After 2 weeks I had progressed to 10 Bur-pees it was tough.I also started skipping that was even more hell. I was also Jogging and got it up to 8Km but then had pain from my IT band and had to stop that but kept up the rowing.Then a friend persuaded me to go swimming in the lake in November, she's been going for years.Air Temperature was around 12 Celsius and the water was probably around the same. I went regularly into December between 06:30 and 07:00 every morning the water temperature currently in December is around 8 Degrees and its about 2 degrees air-temp today.Listen the first time is a shock but after about the third time its easier. Its ALL in your mind. After the initial shock, which can take your breath away you just swim. I can stay in for about 4 or 5 minutes then I get out .Take a friend if you go alone take a swimmers Buoy with you to tow behind in case of cramp, my biggest fear.The strange thing is, its not cold when you get out you get a slight sensation like you you are burning, then another short swim and out again.Dry the hair, get a woolly hat on asap and then get dressed bring hot tea in the thermos.After you get your clothes on again and stand at the side of that lake watching a pair of swans lift off the water in the sunrise I can tell you I have never felt so alive in years. The effects were almost immediate , I almost stopped drinking coffee, I was wide awake all day, I could concentrate better, I had what seemed like boundless energy.Oh yeah and to the guys out there chuck your blue pills the cold puts lead in your pencil!!! If someone had said to me in January I'd be swimming in the lake in December I'd have said they were crazy.I even went with snow on the ground! I used to fear the cold after years of riding a motorcycle to work as a teenager with pain in my freezing hands. Check out Wim Hof the "Ice Man" that guy is onto something! Wish me Luck I am 64 in January 2021.
I started working on a farm before 7 and 47 now, still going strong. I watch these kids these days cant move quick, or dont want to, and surly cannot move as fast as me. Drink a lot of water, eat proteins, stretch, and just move every day. Don’t slow down, or it’ll slow you down.
So true!
I’m age 62 retired in Bangkok , I hit the gym 5 days a week and before Covid made annual trips trekking the Himalaya to Everest base camp. Never even thought of slowing down or “this is it”.
That's awesome, David!
@@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving Thanks. Great channel glad I found you🙏🙏

I am 73 and getting better. Better in every way; spirit, mind and body. All three bodys are relevant to each other. If you believe you can improve the condition of body, you will, but the other bodies, mind and spirit body will also improve. I started with the spirit and everything else followed.
Laird has always pushed the limits. He’s always been an inspiration to me and many people I know. He will die doing what he loves.
Yeah Im 45, getting hit up by 25 year olds how I look like this, I tell them," Get the fuck up and start living!' Just got to keep the body and the mind active, no secret!
@62 Im still training 6 nights a week at Table Tennis and competing in tournaments. I am not retired and still work full time.
How old you are is only a number. Take care of yourself ( diet, movement and exercise) and have a "child like " enthusiasm and positive outlook.
You make your own reality.
42 did my 3 rd murph 3 years in a row. Each year shaving min off . 49.15 mins .
Never stop moving What God gave Us
I'm a lady of 71 and still love sports, I used to ride my motorcycle but the streets are awful in my country so I selled still doing water sky and fulfill my dream to did snow sky again, I'm a huge admirer of you, I saw a movie of your life so impressive 👏👏👏👏👏
Been paying attention to laird for 20 years now and he never ceases to amaze me
You've got to have this and that - you've got to have everything.
There needs to b a smash button for this video! Complete truth!
50 and I just lifted myself from my couch to get that remote, gotta keep moving!!!
me as well... these 12oz curls keep me movin. ;) LOL
What? Your lazy remote doesn't come when you call it? you need an active remote.
With Alexa you don’t have to get up
Excellent video Jeremy, very well made and summarized, thank you for putting this together. Super motivating. Cheers.
Just turned 39 last week, I am still able to dunk a basketball but I’m setting a goal to get my vertical jump back up to 40” at 40 years old.
I listen to this while working out. Its all the motivation I need. Thanks man.
Could not agree more at 65 have been working out for most of my life! Never looked at working out as a chore,
Nietzsche writes about the overman, preparing the way for a better man. Well, it's humbling and inspiration seeing a guy like Laird Hamilton. What an example for us to try to emulate in our own way.
Beautifully done man
Yes it was
57 and still going. Mtn biking, golf, working out daily. Walk when I can. Keep my diet in check. Damn life, full speed ahead!!
56, started skateboarding last year Sept 6 2020. been going 4 -5 days a week and now riding bowls. Just starting to clean up the diet. thanks for the extra motivation
Great video three years ago I had a massive heart attack that made me change everything diet exercise and now it’s 60 years old I’m in the best shape of my life
I think the key is to keep going. I had to give up judo due to health issues, but after I stopped I still had an urge to keep doing something. So, I got into calisthenics and made it my target to do a muscle up and hold a handstand. I did them both.
You may not be able to do those same activities you did in your teens or twenties, but you can still stay active. I've seen some of my contemporaries literally calcify because they have stopped moving. To quote a guest on JRE, 'Motion is lotion.'
Turned 52 in December, had 2 full knee replacements in 2020, the 2nd in June, and started the rehab by doing 15 min on the stationary bike and doing 500 sit-ups a day. Literally went from 50, feeling like 80 to 50 feeling like 30 in about 3 months. Laird to me is amazing, and a huge inspiration, like Arnold and Sly were to me 20 and 30+ years ago, and both are still living proof of what you can do and overcome if you're determined enough.
I did my first Century a couple years ago at 55. I am not going to Stop!!
Awesome! Love this - when I learned to Surf...I followed anything I could find on Laird Hamilton!
Mt. Whitney summit at 55. Took 18 hours R/T.
Wow, that's fantastic, Charles!
Going heavy on a diet change this year,stretching joints,basic exercises,etc.My knees are back without pain,rash on back of many years gone,itchy scalp gone,dropping lbs,etc. I still have stomach,anxiety and sleep issues but that's a work in process,so much still to learn.
Absolutely brilliant bit of footage Laird/Jo bang on the money and what I'm all about.
Way to go David! It is only time to relax when we have passed on, until then, keep defying and keep going! I am a musician and performer. More now than ever before I have to and driven to be in ultimate form and endurance..You are an inspiration
At age 63, I’m retired but not really retired. Still working 2-3 days per week and not because I have to but because I want to. Also keep my body in decent shape between throwing around dumbbells 3-4 days per week and yoga w the wife just about every morning. Also walk the golf course 3-4 days per week. Did a vegan cleanse after watching The Game Changers and lost 20 pounds in those 3 months. Now back to regular diet, but learned to love fruits and veggies a lot more.
They did a study some years ago about one group of CEO’s that stayed active after retirement and another group that just kicked back and truly retired. Now you would think group B lived longer, but actually, the guys in group A who kept their minds sharp and felt like a productive part of society lived on average 10 years longer! That’s huge!
Keeping this body fueled and in tune as much as I possible can and so important to keep the mind sharp as well.
Love these videos!!! This is so motivating. There’s so many that claim to be motivational, but your videos are ticking my boxes!!
Needed this I’m 30 and feeling the effects of not taking care of myself trying to turn it around and want to believe o can
What I am finding at 56 is that much of the “I can’t” mentality comes from societal pressure. People expect that in your 50s it’s time to slow down. That occasionally creeps in to my mind but then when I think logically - there’s nothing preventing me from busting my butt. Point is, make sure you don’t let others, or society, convince you that you can’t be lean and sharp and strong. Do it. You can. You just have to aggressively set your goals and stick to them. I’m not ever going to stop until the good Lord tells me to - and if He tells me to then I’m good with that.
That's awesome! Keep up the great work!
Laird is a BEAST! Mass props 🙌🏼
42: neck is stuffed, lower back pain, head aches, tennis elbow and golfers elbow. One worn out knee. Hate getting out of bed each morning but to sore to over sleep, suffer from foggy head, Suffer from depression and also Extreme tiredness.
But I still surf few times a week, go fishing heaps, spearfishing few times a month, run my own business and also the father of a 2 year old. You gotta go hard, time waits for nobody.
par-a-digm shift. Love seeing older men and women pushing the line further out on aging. 52 weeks of tiny improvement makes for a huge new year celebration.
55 here 👍🏻 still going , hot yoga, home body workouts, including pull ups , resistance bands , biking 🚴♀️, always try to keep it greasy and change things up , I’m 6’. 203 lbs best shape of my life , you are an inspiration and yes our body’s are amazing at developing even at an older age
That's awesome!
It's great to see so many comments from people who are still getting after it, no matter what their age! Rock on!
I'm 57. Still have the same build that I had in high school (Cross-Country/Wrestling/Track) and college (2 years of Cross Country). Still think I'm 20 and still do everything physical whether it's at work as a mechanic, out on the mountain skiing long Atomics, running trails on the local mountains, and yes, even in the bedroom. No creatin, testosterone therapy, blue pills, or other supplements. Beat a rocking case of stage 3 (there is no stage 4) testicular cancer at age 51 (2015), which had spread through my lymph system in my torso, all the way to my neck. It turned the affected nodes into the diameter of baseballs (they should be the size of peas), so it was moving like a freight train. Lost a testicle, which I dearly miss, but I'm in better shape now than I've ever been. I continued to run and work while on chemo, which pissed off the Dr. and the chemo nurses, but like I told them, "I'm an a$$hole, and I'm not just going to lay down for this. I'll keep going, until I can't go any more, and then I'll do something else." Exactly a year to the day after walking out of the chemo lab for the last time, I ran my first Rim-To-Rim at the Grand Canyon, alongside my then 15yr old daughter. We went on to run it 5yrs in a row, and I've run it 2 more times solo. At work, as a mechanic, I out perform all of the other mechanics, by almost double, and they are half my age. In 2020 I've logged just under 600hrs of overtime. My weekly running schedule is simple. I run a half marathon, every Saturday, rain or shine, on a big loop course that includes our 2 local 1,200' peaks. I'll do shorter runs occasionally if a family member invites me out on a little 5-6miler. 2 days ago, on Christmas, I set out on my 13 mile "double mountain" run and decided at the top of mtn #2, that I'd reverse my course, and run back up Mtn. #1. 16.1mi total. I run in Vibram FiveFingers, and occasionally in Merrell Trail Gloves, or New Balance Minimus V1's. In 2012, I went dairy free, grain free, corn free, and steered my eating toward anti-inflammatory, and heavily raw produce (fruits and vegetables) based. Best addition to my life. I have a little YT channel, and occasionally post vids of our fun adventure runs, and hope the inspire people to get out, get fit, and enjoy a more active and healthy adventure.
seriously man.. i turned 33 this month, but no lie - i feel like I am a fit 18-21 yo
this is one of the most important films on youtube.........thanks J
