RIP Jack Lalane.
I just found out Mr. Lalane died.
He was one of the first pioneers of promoting well being through exercise. He devoted his life to a sincere desire to help others.
From wikipedia: (This is just the intro and summary)
Francois Henri "Jack" LaLanne (September 26, 1914 – January 23, 2011) was an American fitness, exercise, and nutritional expert and motivational speaker who is sometimes called "the godfather of fitness" and the "first fitness superhero."[1] Until age 15 he craved junk food and had behavioral problems, but he "turned his life around" in 1930 after listening to a public talk by Paul Bragg, a well-known nutrition speaker.[1][2][3] During his career he came to believe that "physical culture and nutrition — is the salvation of America."[4]
.....
This is a pretty amazing feat: (also from wikipedia)
Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated, "That Jack LaLanne's an animal!," after LaLanne, at 54, beat a 21-year-old Schwarzenegger "badly" in an informal contest
....
Okay... Just found this news article from NPR:
