Jack LaLanne Died

Jack LaLanne, the original fitness guru, has died at age 96.

Jack LaLanne, the man known as the “godfather of fitness,” died Sunday at his home in Morro Bay after a battle with pneumonia.

LaLanne was 96.

Jack LaLanne encouraged men and women to eat healthy, workout and lift weights in the 1960′s and his “The Jack LaLanne Show” was the longest running television exercise show ever at 34-years. In his lifetime he published numerous books, his most recent one just last year. Of course we all know Jack LaLanne for his juicers as well.

Up until his illness Jack LaLanne worked out every day for 2 hours. An hour and a half with weights and a half hour of swimming or walking. His determination never wavered.

LaLanne once said: “I cannot afford to die, it would ruin my image.” We think not.
