- A Second World War veteran celebrates his 100th birthday today (Sat) with his daily trip - to the GYM.
Retired army major John Hamilton, who was evacuated from Dunkirk, pumps iron every day - for 90 minutes.
The great-grandad, who smashed a rowing world record five years ago, is in remarkable shape and believes his health is improving.
His speech and senses are still so articulate for his age. Usually people that old slow down in speech and awareness.. Bravo.
I feel like people who make it to 100 are usually pretty alert, if you're not dead by 90 then a mental slowdown probably wont happen
He probably eats an apple 🍎 and an avocado 🥑 a day and avoids junk food 🥘
So is Anthony Hines. He's also 100 and works out most days, video on YT
Exercise is one of the best ways to preserve cognition in old age.
We are living through one of the last times in history we will see brand new videos of WW2 veterans who can remember the 1920s and 1930s speaking so sharp and clear to us viewers.
Dude is 100 and they are regulating what he can do. Let the man do what he wants
@Greg Montecarlo Effing government wants to regulate what goes into people's blood - as in force them to have some pharma BS against their will. It's time to fight the evil system - and this guy inspires.
Sounds a lot like what Dick Van Dyke (who's currently 98) keeps complaining about. People around him want to limit what he does cos of his age and he doesn't like it.
wow, what a legend! The man barely looks like he's in his 70s. Don't put those weights down people!
Les goo!
this guy looks like one of those super healthy, active , 70 year olds. and hes 100
no
he looks about 90
I just love his WW2 'newsreel accent' too!
He's so articulate! It's crazy that he's still so physically capable at his age, but seeing as he's been through a world war, it's no shock that he's as tough as he is.
@@CRM-114 It's not normal.
@@CRM-114 Not the case. There are so many other variables into play as well my friend.
@@acedlovesclips there’s no such thing as normal
Nice

I love stories like this gives me that fire to keep going and to never give up on my health no matter what people say about fitness being a waste of time haters gonna hate.
Never give up on yourself.
"witness is a waste of time"
haha fool I listen to audiobooks when i work out
He's more alert than my 45 year old ass
Your comment is so funny😀
Where can I find u dear
@@kuntakintewarrior7391 Lol SIMP
@@martinlagos5495 Got him!
@@kuntakintewarrior7391 😂😂😂😂😂
Major Hamilton is not just a veteran of WW2. He is a leader and a man who can inspire all those around him. A true British military officer indeed 👍
Is he still with us? Hope so!
Wow, you are my inspiration! Keep it up, exercise improves both the body and mind. I am 74 heading out for my daily six mile walk.
You might be feature on this show if you keep it up.
"Advise him to slow down. Advise him not to try new things". Why would you even do that!
Their is where I want be at 100, you have truly inspired me and good diet, sleep and exercise 🙏❤️
He looks minimum 30 years younger than his actual age.. awesome
he looks about 90
He is an absolute marvel!
My grandfather passe away 25 years ago...also an elglishman served in WW2 . You sir are an inspiration on an exponential level. Cheers from Canada.
Jeez if this dude in ww2 can still workout today imagine what old man Steve Rogers can do
Totaly Captain America!🇺🇲
Amazing! I love seeing really old people, really young people, and people of all sizes working out at the gym. It's inspiring. There are hundreds of reasons for people to work out and zero reasons to not work out.
He sounds like he quite a storyteller. May he live long and well.
He's got great memory and doesn't speak slowly!
Taking care of yourself always pays off , respect to the "old guy" great inspiration , i work out as well and i'm 45 years old , and many people tell me i could pass for someone in their mid 30s , so hit the gym "hard" people !
Leave him alone he’s forgotten more than she knows
I’m 56 and suffered from massive bloating for 3 months, couldn’t eat properly due to being so bloated and full, lost some weight, felt weak, but I changed my lifestyle. I forced myself to walk daily no matter how weak I felt. Ate when I had no appetite, and slowly but surely, I’m on the mend. Sometimes you have to know when to push. Because all it takes is turning that particular corner and you will get healthier and stronger.
Legend! Very inspirational and great attitude! Shows that its possible to train at any age and improve your health.
100 years old and this man is saying”let me up the weight” what an absolute legend 😂😂
Honestly, I think his mind and speech is more impressive than the working out (but don’t get me wrong, the working out is impressive too).
His mind and speech is PRECISELY the result of his working out consistently.
They go together. Body deteriorates the mind goes
Resistance training is essential to maintain muscle mass and strength especially as we get older and sarcopenia sets in. With consistent weight training and good nutrition you can fight back against the ageing process and stay fit physically and mentally. Age is only a number.
" You're turning 100 on Saturday. Are you still planning on going to the gym?". Some interviewers need a brain transplant.
I’m glad he doesn’t listen to them. What do they know? They probably won’t even reach 90 in his amazing health
A role model for the older person. You just need to put the work in, father time is doing its best to take your muscles, stiffen your joints and take your mind. The fight starts around 50 and goes until the lights go out. My goal is to 'Add Life to My Years'
Strength, Mobility, Core and Balance.
Fitness gives your life purpose.
Invest in a good trainer, the ones that understand your needs are hard to find.
Inspirational. Exercise is the best medicine for mind and body. Keep pumping !
Agreed.
That what wrong with the world once you get to 70 you're suppose to slow down and and wait to die. Well I say fuck that. If he listen to the people at the gym he would probably deteriorate faster. But nope he pushing himself and working out more and more.
U mean 80
Ohh yes indeed. Absolutely don't listen anyone
My respect⚡️💪🏻🔥🙏🏻
He's 100 let the man push himself and add more weight. Your limitations are obviously not his. Get outta the man's way. At 100, he can do whatever he wants. I'm sure he signed a waiver like everyone else so let him add weights.
What an inspiration!
Brilliantly done young man. You are an inspiration.
"young man" lol
Of course he is...he is 100 yrs young ...a real gym bhadaas
Happy Birthday! You are very motivating and inspirational!
Absolutely incredible ... wonderful man ❤️
Carry on sir!
God bless him I love seeing people like him working out it always gives you hope that you will be able to donut as well god willing
I like him😎😎
Well worthy of respect and an inspiration.
Simply amazing!
if he can do it why say no? he knows his capabilities!!! hell live longer than anyone there because he doesn't say no!!
He doesn't say no also he's on trt
And you can't pay some of these young people now days to go to the gym for 15 minutes
Yes you can they just lazy
@@blacklyfe5543 That's why you can't cause they're lazy
Excellent!! Great motivation!!
More blessings!
True inspiration ❤
This dude right here!!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well done!!!
damn this is ispiring and i am only 15
This man's my hero
An inspiration indeed
Respect
🙏
Very very good,good job.
God bless him. Don’t ever stop moving, that’s what kills you. That and a bad diet.
He is a beast 😂😂😂😂
He’s in great nick , wow.
Yes sir. Screw them up 👆. Keep destroying the fucken gym
Wow this man really looks passionate,it’s adorable to see
Who needs permission to add weight? What's that all about?
I think he's just under the false impression that people who run gyms know anything about health and fitness...
"We've tried to get him to slow down" just illustrates that point: If he "slows down" his health and mobility will decrease, and he'll be worse off. He's not running crazy supermarathons...
Some people treat seniors like children. It's insulting and disrespectful.
@@KatarinaS. especially when they are still mentally sharp and have a clear voice, and are smarter than the average person
wow!
Impressive
If the man is paying for this service why oh why are you denying him extra weights, after all he does pay for the service.
Proffesor Plum
he’s 100 years old it’s not safe AT ALL and they don’t want a old ass man dying in their gym
CS as age we don’t want to be put heavier weight on our spine. everything detoriates including all major joints. Safety is paramount for seniors especially when doing resistance training. Best of health.
@@louisdoufexis6280 Agree to disagree. We all experience a negative curve as we age in "joint deterioration" as you said, and that includes the spine. The best way to reduce and prevent more muscle loss and "joint deterioration" (although thats not how it actually works), is by resistance training AND ADDING more weight. When it's done properly and progressively, no matter the age, its safe. We are not talking about adding 50 pounds here
@@NopeNope78 this is exactly right! Resistance training is one of the best things we can do in order to age as slowly as possible
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 doing us proud
I'll stop working out at 66 or 70
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 RESPECT
Working out is great' over doing it like i did is not. Dont lift really heavy. You can get just as good with half the weight.
Here I am working out 15 mins a day.
Im lazy
You have absolutely no idea how long you're gonna live,so don't wait until you're too old to start working out.
Some people have health problems that stop them from this.
This man represents the very best of us but alas this country can no longer make men of his quality and character any more, that is for sure !!
Les goo!!
Love his accent
❤️
Any recent update on this man?
Why would they try to encourage him to slow down??? Obviously, his pace works smh let him be great lol
Only his reference to his being in the Territorial army indicated that he is an Aussie rather than a New Zealander.
Exercise
Is

Miracle
Drug
Cheers
I hope Arnold lives that long 💪🏻
Attitude.
I bet hes mad that he cant play with lego anymore
Is he still around
What did he say at 1:15? Heritages?
I'm 27 and he's inspired me.
Gym instructor is a dickhead though
@@saturatedbrownie8048 70 yrs more to live for you

If you're looking for inspiration, it doesn't get any better. I wonder if this man is still alive??
Everyone gangster until he joins ww3
I want to be like him at age 100 💯 in the year 2083 which will be only 62 years from now...is that all?? 62 years isn’t a long time
Is he still around?
Strength & Honour sir...we cant stop getting older, but we cant stop getting old!....get old is for pussies! train like a beast no matter your age.,I will lifting when Im 130,.......... if I the lord spares me.
Reminds me of the elder Captain America.

THANKS 🙏.!!!.
[ NEVER , GIVE , UP ] !!!!! . ( ESPECIALLY ) , ON , ( FAITH ) 🔥📚📖📚🔥👍......
Thats the problem with most people, wont let the elderly get what they want cause theyre afraid of their overall well being. Shit if he can do that at 100 let him do what he wants with weights, thats impressive
When she said ‘he’s part of the family here’
Does he still pay for the gym membership? Otherwise, that line means nothing.
They "advice" him to slow down......WTF?! !
He is 104 now
Still articulate but lockdown messed him up.
Still alive?
Yup. 103. But he is looking pretty frail now...soon to be 104...
