If I remember right, Jack's a Republican - - weren't he and Reagan buds?

[Mr. Mojo]

I wonder if still takes swims in Santa Monica bay while pulling ships with his teeth?

Wow! Happy B-day, Jack.

I remember seeing him on TV when I was a wee little kid and wondering who that old guy doing all the exercises was.

Jack talks the talk and walks the walk. He's proving he was right. Most amazing to me: everthing works at 90!

My mother and I (as a child) used to exercise to his program in the late 50's.

steers clear of meat, caffeine, white sugar and refined flour."""

Steers clear of meat? Is he a vegetarian?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Didn't he have a dog named King on the exercise show too?

[isthisnickcool]

What he does now: exercises two hours a day, seven days a week, and steers clear of meat, caffeine, white sugar and refined flour.

Seems like some advise is in there for Barney Frank?

I catch reruns of his old show an ESPN Classic.
I've tried some of those exercises and they really firmed up my muscles around the knees and elbows.

""Most people work at dying. I work at living. It's a pain in the ass," Mr. LaLanne said. "You have to eat right and exercise. "Most people, when they reach a certain age, let down and talk about what they used to do. Well, who gives a damn about what you used to do? It's what you're doing now."

I remember watching Jack on TV back in the 1950's. Also, he used to do an annual event on San Francisco Bay. With his hands tied, he would swim SF Bay while pulling boats by a rope in his teeth. I think it was from Aquatic Park to Alcatraz. It's been a few years since hearing of him doing this, guess he gave it up. The guy is utterly amazing.

THANKS for posting this! He's great.
Wow, 90 years old! I've been watching his ads for the juicers and wondering how old he was for awhile.

I'm doing research on juicers because veggie juices really work for me, but I've burned up two cheap Hamilton Beach ones, and looking at the Champion and the Atlas. I wonder if his is as good as he advertises. . .

God bless him!

Jack LaLanne, the Godfather of Physical Fitness!!!

Just think of the billions of dollars made in the fitness industry thanks to Jack LaLanne!

They should erect a monument to him!

....captain of the football team. ???

I had to chuckle. I met Jack LaLanne in 1981 or 82. I am just over 5' tall and would have to say that Jack is maybe
4'11".

[IPWGOP]

Wow, look at this guy... Jack LaLane, at 90 and still going strong. Contrast him with Kerry and his pseudo-jock stuff. Whadda joke!
