Jack LaLanne

  Jack was a fitness and cultural icon, who has promoted the benefit of regular exercise and healthy eating in a career that has spanned over 70 years and inspired millions.

  He presented an extremely successful television program, called “The Jack LaLanne Show”, that ran for 34 years! Which educated the viewers – or “students” as he called them – on nutrition, exercise and general well being.  My mother was one of his disciples and I rememberr fondly watching her using a chair for leg and
ab work
 He also produced some famous quotes:
1)“Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips”

2)“Better to wear out than rust out”

  Jack was still going strong at the age of 96, working out every morning in the weights room for 1 1/2 hours and then swimming or walking for another 1/2 hour.  His enthusiasm and hard work created a industry that
keeps us healthy and vibrant.  Thank you, Jack.
