Thanks John. I am 73 and active, but I have been thinking of doing an exercise routine to keep hunting the way I want. Every morning when I wake up, I refuse to let the old man in!! I plan on doing some of your routine. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy learning.
John, I'm 51 and 4 years ago I changed my lifestyle ,losing 130 pounds, today I am able to hunt farther and longer than anyone I know (including my 30 year old son and 33 year old hunting buddy) lol. I sure hope in 20 years I'm still able to go like you are now. Thanks for the inspiration
I just turned 61 I have the same routine sense the 1985 ish 3 months to deer hunt .and I have the same exact home gym. you are early 70s great to know there is other hunters still training with weights .moast of my friends that I grew up with can't do 1 chin up or sit up . I train with my girl friend in my basement .she takes deer season off to put she does not hunt .you have 12 years on me . and seeing you do this is very motivating thanks for the video
John and I must be twins, I’m 66 and have been lifting weights for 35 years so I can hunt the way I do also. Four wheelers are not an option. I’ve been saddle hunting 25 years and you need to be in shape to go the extra mile. I work out 4 days a week at the gym lifting for2 hours and doing a kick your ass cycle class every morning. As you get older my philosophy on lifting is it light and right. Form is everything. Thanks for video John great minds think alike..
Great message. My dad is 65 and hits the gym 4 times a week. He taught my brother and I the importance of physical conditioning. I have my 2 sons (8, 11) work out with me. There's no greater investment you can make than taking care of your health.
That's very true, I remember the first time I bow hunted for elk in Colorado on public land at 8,000 feet elevations. I worked my ass off and ran every day and it still took me 2 days to get acclimated to the thin air and not get winded.
thats awesome so glad you shared this video !! i started working out very serious when i was in my 30s now i am 58 and still hitting it hard . being consistent is very important . thank you for all you do
Thanks John for all the great videos! You mentioned in one of your videos that you started to use a bow with less lbs and I'm wondering if you will ever consider switching to a crossbow. I'm only a few years younger than you and because of neck surgery I switched to a crossbow because I would have had to switch to a compound bow with about 35 - 40 lb draw weight.
I'm sure I will at some point but as long as I can draw whatever the legal limit is, I will shoot a compound as the speed of my current compound at 40 pounds, is faster than the 60-pound bow I shot in the mid-70's. But yes, someday.
You're in better shape than most, & I'm a chiropractor! lol, Your in better shape than me for sure! Great video, good message, you're a good influence.
@@johneberhart4062 Well I don't know any 72 year olds that workout everyday, climb trees, etc. You're pretty hardcore so I think the Anvil label suits you well!
Good job ! Glad to see you staying healthy so important to stay in shape. I think the word you were looking for was rows and lat pull downs not canoe exercise. Not being negative just in case you couldn't think of it. Thanks for the videos always a fan!
You need to stop being a troll, if you don't want the information that's fine but you can keep your rude comments to yourself. I will delete them - Joe
My left shoulder was actually a ripped bicep from preparing a tree and the bicep had to be re-attached to a bone in my upper arm. While she was in their she cleaned up the bone spurs and arthritis. The right shoulder was just from getting old and having used my right arm more than my left as I'm right handed.
Great info. Your lifelong dedication is amazing
Thanks John.

Sure is tough keeping the old man out isn't it. Gets tougher every year.

That's awesome and to lose that amount of weight requires a serious commitment. Congrats.
huge respect! That is amazing!
Much respect to you John!
I lost 125 pounds last year getting ready for this season. Thanks for sharing
That's incredible Kendall, congratulations

Jim, I wished I could get my wife to work out with me like yours does. Mine does'nt hunt either.
Thank you for sharing your routine Mr. Eberhart!
You're welcome Phast.
No other "celebrity" hunter is sharing this much information. Truley showing us the whole picture, and we thank you
It's my pleasure to share what makes me tick and hopefully it will help others.
I do not comment much, but this is seriously impressive. Well done.
Thanks S.

That's awesome Bryan and you're also a 25 year saddle veteran.
John is a boss! I’d love to see a couple fishing videos by the look of your man cave you are quite a knowledgeable fisherman as well
Thanks Tanner and I plan on doing several fishing videos this year.

Amen Chad.
An old buddy of mine says there's a difference between being in shape and being in woodsman shape.
That's very true, I remember the first time I bow hunted for elk in Colorado on public land at 8,000 feet elevations. I worked my ass off and ran every day and it still took me 2 days to get acclimated to the thin air and not get winded.
Good for you John. I'm 60 and still lift, ride my bike and it definitely is important. I need to incorporate more stretching. good video
Thanks David and I know you stay in hunting shape.
Looking good, John!
Thanks Chris
thats awesome so glad you shared this video !! i started working out very serious when i was in my 30s now i am 58 and still hitting it hard . being consistent is very important . thank you for all you do
Ditto, I began working out when I was a drywall finisher in the early 80's and have never stopped. Gets tougher, doesn't it.
@@johneberhart4062 yes sir it does but we keep moving and hunting

You are the man John you inspire me good job buddy 💪
Thanks Paul

Thanks and I visit a chiropractor every other week. My neck is so bad from finishing drywall as I did a lot of the stilt lid work.
John is a camouflage scent free human anvil 💪🏹🦌
I don't know about the anvil, but the camouflage scent free pat is certainly true.

@@j.f.t.4114 Thanks and I about killed myself in a couple big dia. trees yesterday.
I've been waiting for this!!!!
Well you got it KP. Hope it helped.

You're correct, when I was in the basement I couldn't think of the names while doing the video.
Keep hammering!!
Impressive for 72 for sure .
Thanks Jason

JHON 3;16 I DO THE SAME THING AS JOHN AT 85
how did you mess up your shoulders?
My left shoulder was actually a ripped bicep from preparing a tree and the bicep had to be re-attached to a bone in my upper arm. While she was in their she cleaned up the bone spurs and arthritis. The right shoulder was just from getting old and having used my right arm more than my left as I'm right handed.
