Maybe I need to give up the snacks, the dude was doing good until just a while ago.

Jack Lalane RIP

It just goes to show you all that exercise doesn't do a bit of good. He didn't even make it to 100.
Oh man! I am so sorry to learn this. He did have full life, but still. . . .
May he rest in peace.

Was just reading an article about Jack on an in-flight magazine last Thanksgiving, he was cocky & spunky & surprisingly full of vim & vigor. I hope I can tow a boatload of tourists across the English Channel with my teeth when I'm in my 80s.
A true pioneer. We'll never know how many people he influenced directly or indirectly. RIP, Mr. LaLanne.
I remember, as a little boy in the 50s, watching Jack do his show on the old black and white TV. Talk about being ahead of your time. It took most of America about 30 years to catch up with some of his philosophies on fitness.
Into his 70's he still did his birthday ritual of swimming across an open span of water while towing as many row boats as his age (filled with people and weights of course). His feats of swimming were pretty spectacular.
I was starting to think the guy was going to outlive me.
RIP Jack. Where you're at, gravity and weight are no longer an issue.

I live in the same little town he lived in for ages. He was a total character.... You would see him in a restaurant and he would go around to the tables and talk to people and introduce himself. Classic dude. Just saw him a couple of months ago with a walker and thought it wasn't a very good sign.
