Swim every day

Swim everyday if you can. Swimming is a great exercise and you use all of your muscles with little or no impact on the joints.

You are never too old 

Jack at 88

At the age of 88, Jack LaLanne works out every day at his California home, and he invited The Early Show correspondent Melinda Murphy to join him recently.

"I work out two hours every day and I'm in terrific shape," LaLanne said. And he feels pretty darn good about it.

You are never too old

Jack Lalanne 

at 45 years old

Jack Lalanne did 1000 push ups and 1000 pull ups in 82 minutes on his 45th birthday to show that age is only in the mind. You are as young or as old as you think you are, as long as you put forth the fruits of our labor. This is a world record. One that age help make this record. You do not see any 20 year old doing this. Age helped Jack, Age can be your enemy or your friend.

Can you brench press 500 pds? 

You are stronger than you think you are.

Can you bench press 500 Pd's? The answer is yes, anyone can. People are stuck they only think of one way. In reality, thee are over 500 ways to bench press 500 Pd's. Take 100 Pd's and lift it 5 times and you have bench pressed 500 pounds. Take 50 pounds and lift it 10 times and you have lifted 500 pounds. Take 1 pound and lift it 500 times and you have lifted 500 Pd's. Most people only think of one way and that is all at once. That is when you can get hurt or tear a muscle, unless you are use to lifting that much weight. Think outside the box, you are stronger than you think you are.

You are never too old 

Unless you think you are.

I'm not retired, I'm pro-tired. That is what a friend of mine told me once and it seems to be true. I left Law Enforcement when I was 44 years old. When I was 45, I had my first Professional tryout with a Major League Team. It was with the Florida Marlins and it was a 5 day try out. I had not played baseball in a long time but I had gone to the batting cages and practiced my swings. The Scouts for the Marlins did not want a 45 year old out there. So they put us through a grilling workout. We stretched, we exercised, then we ran, and we ran and we ran some more. Then we played two 9 innings baseball games and then we ran some more. The next day we basically did the same thing and the Scouts realized I was in better shape than most of the 20 year old who were there. We ran so much that we lost a few of the players. They simple quite trying. Since then I have had 3, 5 day tryouts with the Florida Marlins and I may go back and keep trying. You are never too old unless you think you are as long as you produce the fruits of that which you are trying to do.

You are never too old 

How old is Old?

I have known people who thought they were old when they were 22 years old. I knew people who thought they were old at 25. I knew people who thought they were old at 30. I knew people who thought they were old at 40. The List goes on and on. No one has a perfect body. First make your habits then your habits make you. Make good habits and you will be a healthy person. Make poor habits and you will become a unhealthy person. Life does not get much easier than that. Jack Lalanne is living proof at 92 years old.
