American Icons – Jack LaLanne

God got himself a personal trainer this week. Fitness icon Jack LaLanne, the father of the gym, died on Sunday of complications from pneumonia at the age of 96. His wife of 51 years, Elaine LaLanne (that’s her real name!) issued a wonderful statement: “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.” And Jack once said, “The only way you can hurt the body is not use it. Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it’s never too late.” Check out his push-up routine (and his dog’s routine too!) And, in his memory, get off that sofa and work it out!
