To say that he was an inspiration to me is an understatement. Jack LaLanne performed feats of strength and endurance that boggled my mind. He swam underwater for the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, loaded with 140 pounds of equipment, for pete's sake! He completing over a thousand pushups in a little over 20 minutes, and towed 65 boats filled with thousands of pounds of wood through the water. He even had a workout for your face!
He also made juicers.
Jack LaLanne died yesterday at the ripe old age of 96. He often said that dying would ruin his image, but I think he showed us all how to live - clean, healthy, and embracing the benefits of health and fitness until the very end.
I hope you'll read up on Jack today and watch some of his old videos. He was an inspiration then and still is today. Run an extra lap for Jack! Or, exercise your face!
Get inspired. :)

RIP.
I remember my Mom having him on TV when I was growing up (I am 45).
