Fitness Legend Jack LaLanne


I recently had a chance to help long time fitness guru and health master, Jack LaLanne, celebrate his 94th birthday here in Dallas.
Jack LaLanne, often called the Godfather of Fitness, is a mover, shaker, and motivator. Jack is a pioneer who opened the first modern health spa in the United States in 1936, and in 1951, brought exercise to TV.
You may have seen him more recently on his infomercial endorsing the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer.
Unknown to most people, Jack is a chiropractor. That's right, he never practiced a day in his life, but he earned the degree simply to be on the cutting edge of natural health and fitness.
And at 94 years of age, he can probably still do more push-ups than me!
Here's to you, Jack LaLanne!
