As you may or may not already know, fitness legend Jack LaLanne died yesterday. Now I know everybody dies some day and LaLanne was 96, but it's still hard to believe that LaLanne is dead. After all, he was still in great shape and working out in the gym every day too.
In any case, I'm extremely impressed with LaLanne's fitness career for somebody who wasn't a hardcore bodybuilder. Some of his accomplishments are legendary such as the time when, as a 60-year-old, he swam from Alcatraz to the San Francisco shore while handcuffed and shackled. Oh.....and did I mention that he was tugging a rowboat too!
Another impressive LaLanne feat was the time when he did 1,000 push-ups in 23 minutes as a 43-year-old on the show You Asked For It. But perhaps LaLanne's most amazing feat was that he inspired millions of people to work out, eat right and be fit. He preached eating vegetables and treating exercise as a lifestyle rather than something you do once and a while to get in shape.
LaLanne was also one of the original people to use weight training as he opened a gym in 1936 where both athletes and women could work out. In these days, weight training was thought to be stupid since it made people "slow and overly big."
It's truly sad that LaLanne is gone, and I feel for his wife who said, "I have not only lost my husband and a great American icon, but the best friend and most loving partner anyone could ever hope for."
