AN eight-year-old athlete has earned the title Tarzan after blazing through difficult obstacle courses with ease.

Mini-bodybuilder Easton Fletcher continues to shock his followers with athletic prowess well beyond his years.

Little Easton is constantly tackling ninja courses that challenge his strength and endurance in massive gyms and at home.

In a recent post made by his father Chris, the little athlete blazed through a course fit for American Ninja Warrior that was set up in the family's backyard.

"Florida may be hot but that will not stop Easton," the proud dad wrote in the caption.

In the clip, the boy could be seen staring at the set up of foam pads and monkey bars with determination before racing forward.

He first scurried across half yoga balls and other balancing equipment before leaping up to grab a high-up bar and launching himself across the lawn.

Without missing a beat, he landed and balanced across a razor-thin beam in a near sprint while the monkey bars loomed in the distance.

In an impressive display of upper body strength, Easton swung himself across the bars and grabbed a much smaller hanging handle that was a considerable distance away.

He continued to swing himself like a monkey in circles until finally getting to a massive jump.

Easton took a second to collect himself and then launched onto the final bar and landed like a pro.

He turned around to the camera to make a cheeky hang loose sign while huffing from the major workout that would terrify most healthy adults.

Commenters were amazed at the athletic prowess and called the kid Tarzan after watching him swing around.

"Ninja warrior's next champ," one person said.

Another commended Easton's visible dedication and said that she couldn't wait to see how far he comes as he grows up.

"Makes these courses look so easy. So fearless," a different impressed user said.

Despite his young age, Easton has already started competing in ninja competition to flex his skills.

His father, who runs all of Easton's social media, opened up in a recent post about the nerves that he gets watching his little man.

"As a parent every time your child competes in anything your stomach is turning," he wrote in a post.

"Not because you want them to win, you just want them to do well you want them to be happy when they complete their run."

Chris asked for good energy as Easton went on to enter a huge competition, and it appeared to pay off.

The following post made by the dad celebrated his son for scoring a win in the speed category of the run and getting second in endurance.

"Always awesome hanging with my ninja friends," the dedicated father and coach wrote.

Easton's burgeoning story comes as another young bodybuilder who was dubbed Little Hercules now looks unrecognizable as an adult.
