Someone told me once, that LaLane didn’t even start exercising until he was in his 50’s. Do you know if that’s true?

“Someone told me once, that LaLane didn’t even start exercising until he was in his 50’s. “

Jack LaLanne had a poor physique as a teenager and ate all kinds of junk foods; but shortly after that he started his training regimen.

Wikipedia:

“LaLanne wrote that as a boy he was addicted to sugar and junk food. At age 15, he heard Paul Bragg give a talk on health and nutrition. Bragg’s message had a powerful influence on LaLanne, who decided to focus on his diet and exercise habits. He studied Henry Gray’s Anatomy of the Human Body and concentrated on bodybuilding and weightlifting.”

I remember seeing him on TV about 1960 and that would put him roughly at age 42.
