. . and how old is Jack LaLanne, anyway?
Jack LaLanne turned 95 on September 26, 2009, and is going strong! I'm old enough to remember him leading workouts, watching him on a small black and white television set with the ubiquitous jumpsuit and ballet slippers. I remember his shape, the very wide shoulders and very narrow hips. I was too young to fall in love, but I was not too young to be impressed.
Jack LaLanne invented fitness, or at least brought it to the masses, and he's been talking about it, writing about it, and practicing good fitness and health habits for nearly 80 years now.
Do you remember Jack as I do? If you've ever heard of him you probably do. Although the TV has been in color for decades now, Jack still shows up on the screen from time to time and has hardly changed a bit.

- Jack is my idol. I am amazed at all of his accomplishments. I can't believe he swam shackled and handcuffed pulling boats.

- I stumbled on this one too... Jack is the greatest. I heard him speak at a fitness convention when I was an instructor. He's one of my all time heroes for bringing fitness to the masses. I'm featuring this on my juicing lens. More blessings!

- Jack is the man! When I was 15 I watched an infomercial or something he had put on about juicers. I saved up my money that month and bought one. He is the guy who got me started on juicing and he is the first to have taught me about the importance of live enzymes. For this I am forever grateful. blessings
