Jack LaLanne died earlier this week at the age of 96.
“Jack LaLanne preached fitness before fitness was cool.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. A true pioneer in the fitness world. Without him, we might not be hear today, we might have transformed into a society of Michelin Men, or worse… we might not have cable crossovers. Yes, Jack LaLanne invented the cable machine. I would comment on his whole idea of “fitness” as opposed to the far superior Two Scoops ideals of “liftness” but one shouldn’t speak ill of the dead.
The man has now ascended into legend, and we can all honor his spirit by saying “LIP Jack LaLanne…” Lift In Peace. To say Rest In Peace would be sacrilegious. The man worked out 7 days a week for 80-some years - asking him to Rest would make him roll over in his grave. I hope he can lift his face off in heaven.
