Jack Lalanne - 10 Point Plan

[JGookins]

@camthejock: thank you, that needed to be pointed out!!

[camthejock]

He was wrong about one thing; "God helps those who help themselves" is nowhere in the Bible. If we could really help ourselves, why would we need God?

RIP Jack

[MRSEXY4EVER]

better than the ten commandments

[popper504]

he just passed away in 2011

[jkhjournal]

Lived to 96.

[popper504]

@jkhjournal i th8ink he lived to 97 or 98 ..i think 97 though

[ringbolt9]

LOVE jack! didnt over complicate things motivational in a 'regular guy" way.  and lived to what/ 94 ? so cant argue!

[9888fizz]

Love it! Simple. Clean Basic. Most of our troubles can be dealt with easily - it is we who make it difficult. Eta less. Move more, etc. This guy is awesome.

[Caribman75]

No I'm not Joker 7100. As Signfield would say, not that there is anything wrong with that. I'm sure you are a FAT SLOB and can't handle the truth.

[Caribman75]

How can 4 people dislike this, lol

[joker71000]

@Caribman75 because hi is slim gay maybe you are like him :D

[before3340]

Thank-you for posting these videos.

[pamemake]

What were we thinking? Jack was always right.....40 years ahead of his time. I can't believe what we used to eat, drink, and smoke. Just look at Jack! How can you doubt his results? What a stud.

[JoeyFudd]

I thought he started a fashion trend, wearing those spiffy one-piece union suits. But as I look around the streets, I've been the only other person wearing one all these years. Darn it, Jack! Now I feel silly, since you've gone.

[Sl0wr0cK]

I watched it eating cookies, i blow...

[YouDoMind]

WHoa whoa whoa.....WHeres the medicine, THEE POt???

[davidjmechanic]

We need someone to pick up where he left off. I can't find half a handful these days.

[koukouroukou7484]

@davidjmechanic Tony Horton I believe is doing his best. Nearest I've come across anyway

[abkaps08]

Jack was the master at making improvement plans! His works helped shape the lives of many, including my own. Thank you for that Jack. Check out this video of him at 94 years old, amazing! bit. ly/diGOR2

[PerformancePt1]

Legend - RIP and we will do our best to continue your message

[guinea27]

I watched you when I was a little girl in the 50's. You are an inspiration to us all. You live on by all the good advice you gave to us. Thank you, Jack. You will be missed. May you have a great place in Heaven. I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to meet you in person, but know that I will follow your advice now more than ever. I'm sure you are being you and working out wherever you are. You are the best

11. Vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred.

[docweasel]

Simpler times. Can't help thinking the world was better off then, for all it's faults in the 50s -60s.

[mondocaneman]

R.I.P Jack LaLane, Jan. 23, 2011... we will all miss you!! God bless your precious soul! Rest in Heaven!

[yellowsun4]

HE IS SO DARLING......HE WILL BE MISSED...........MY DAD LOVED HIM ....AND WATCHED HIM ..FOR YEARS

[kypoppa]

good man mr jack

[navyboydjray]

He really was the real deal of positive living.

We all should take heart as to what he was trying to teach us all.

Thank you Jack, we'll miss you.

[AgujaAzulMD]

Rest in Peace Jack. I know from now on I always need to follow this list more closely, no matter what life throws at me.

[jlowry71]

RIP Jack Lalanne

[Quex01]

Why the hell he teaches only women? He could be a lot of better role model for men, then men would be perhaps better fathers and not fat slobs we see of today. And less of i-dont-need-nobody Super Single Mothers that kill themselves in work and raising their children to be mamas boys.

[titans091052]

@Quex01 You seem like a real negative nancy. You should be more 7. positive and maybe "people will notice what a better person you're becoming."

[imgordonfreeman]

self improvement is masturbation and now destruction

[lymmington]

God continue to richly Bless you Mr.Jack Lalanne- I've grown up watching you equally and am forever greatful! I belive Jack Lalanne is an angel sent to us here on earth by teh good Lord above!

[kaylizdee]

AMAZING!

[ryree6567]

Look at his recent videos. He is still in great shape at almost 100! I love his nutrition part. Stay away from white flour, white sugar and fried foods! I never knew they knew how bad white flour was back then. The same things they tell us now to avoid he already knew.

[TiaDobi]

Jack is a beautiful man I love him! I am 48 years old.

[b3nner]

Wisdom is Wisdom.

[Nookiecat]

I love Jack Lalanne!

[maryfbex]

I "look and feel old" for 48. I wish Jack was with me 24/7 to keep me on track. I have been "dieting" since I was 16. I used to be a weight lifter, now I have 100 lbs to lose and just feel lost and depressed; the living dead.

[iLoGiiKzv0]

i came up with this guy while looking how to perform fingertip pushups without injury and i realise how useful this stuff is, and damn, this guy is 94

[benjams115]

@iLoGiiKzv0 Actually just turned 96.

[iLoGiiKzv0]

@benjams115 i realised when i saw a recent interview, thanks though

[dagodino]

The greatest personal trainer ever!

[moneyman10k]

people like to say america is great, but they don't have the stuff to back it up.

here is video from when america was great

[avalanchesoul]

wow. how ahead of his time was jack!

[deonvan]

soda, junk food, chips, cookie, etc will kill you!!! i'm warning you.

[tna33311]

this man rocks!!!!

[djmasala]

long live innocent smoothies!!

[ShakespeareOfBorg]

He looks like he could be Simon Cowell's dad!!

[1975buddha]

Great stuff :O)

[trix2k1]

Jack is a living legend, emphasis on the "living". Way ahead of his time and his words still ring true today, over half a century later. A true inspiration.

[ilkldme]

I'm impressed! :)

[nUaSvAy]

He is not a body-builder, he is a life-builder.

[slayerromare]

So true =)

[planetmax83]

good list but i'd add

11) knowledge/ self study

don't stop learning, challenge yourself mentally - keep your brain active for a healthy mind

[Nakutao]

AWESOME! :)

[seaofclay]

VERY GOOD!!!

[byecricketboy]

We need more people like this in the world.

[StrangeFlavoredRey]

He literally is the man.

[steveteaches]

birthday!!! happy 95th jack!

[pierre1050]

Deze man is fantastisch! (This man is awesome!)

[connielane]

I just saw his resent picture and at 93 he looks more like 63! His program must work.

[Andythefunkman]

this is just great

pure wisdom

thank you so much Jack Lalanne

[SmoothJazz98]

Keep in mind friends that at the time of this taping Jack was well into his mid-forties and was STILL one of the best built men in the world!

He rivaled professional body builders of his day quite literally half his age. Whine about good genes all you want...Jack didn't...he walked the walk and got it done.

[NickReyesFitness]

The man is a genius. So many ppl make it seem so complicated 2day with commercial advice: take this pill and that pill, this diet and that diet blah blah blah! Jack keeps it so simple and is so true to his word and passionate to help others that we should all watch this video, pass it on to other at work, friends, family, etc! Spread the good word ppl. We are all soldiers as he says.

Good day and God bless,

-Nick Reyes

[droid740]

Incredibly clear, and far ahead of his time!!!!

[FLOOBERNINO]

This man is now 94 and healthy as ever.

It works!! Listen to his wisdom.

[leumasnehpets]

He is such a beautiful person. Really. On the inside as much as the out.

[zeb120]

wow americans used to talk like electricity in those good old days

[Prons]

Jack is the coolest

[31chickens]

At least he has Faith:)

[JoeyFudd]

He forgot "plenty of SLEEP." Also, improving your knowledge, skills, and beauty doesn't hurt.

BTW, he's wearing his trademark unionsuit. No, he did not just get off a shift at Jiffy Lube.

[Sammy4549]

Wouldn't that be part of Relaxation? So you're not too stressed during the day.

[SoleaPunx]

sleep is in good habits

[joroma77]

I doubt lack of sleep was a problem back then. Most of them used their bodies all day and were naturally tired at bedtime. They didn't have distractions like computers and TV that keep some folks awake well over midnight.

[JoeyFudd]

People stayed up in the 1950's watching The Late Show after midnight, and they had all night talk radio back then too -- Larry King, Larry Glick. Throughout history, we've had night owls, even reading by candlelight. More options for amusement now, though, I agree.

[falcon4him]

@JoeyFudd well to be correct, most people didn't stay up watching TV. because believe it or not, the South and West has more people than the east , and they are the ones that worked hard (as a general rule) and went to bed at 8 - 10 o'clock. Although the people that are needed to loose weight back then probaly did stay up late.

[JudgeJulieLit]

@falcon4him That's true . . in the 1950s (even in the US northeast), telecasts STOPPED after the late-night news or "The Late Show," and TEST PATTERNS ran all night, until 5 or 6 a.m. Day done, gone the sun, people SLEPT at night.

[ironaxe89]

But they crammed in fast food ,twinkies. And didn't go for long walks, swims, or bike rides.

[mand1sh3p]

2:15 lol

He is so pumped up...his outfit looks like a dress suit for women. Great points though!

[jettex30]

he said girls because they were the only ones at home watching tv in the middle of the day.

[yardleyaloe]

Excuse me, Jack. #1 should be Faith, not exercise. Spiritual health should always be first in one's life!

[leodungen]

I don't think Jack has them in order by importance. He says Faith last so it sticks in your head.

[hillbillyvampyre]

I think he put Faith last because he wants to people to be active first. Doing things for yourself first keeps you on the right track so that you do not revert back to your old unhealthy lifestyle.

[ossfit]

That is what I was thinking. That's very true, but maybe he didn't want to be controversial with peoples beliefs.

[yardleyaloe]

Yes. That is a possibility.

[DoctorSteelhammer]

bullshit

[lilvjdude]

I think everyone should rank them in order of how difficult each one is for you. The most difficult should be at the top.

[DoctorSteelhammer]

bullshit

[lionofthejungle]

This guy is such an inspiration. I am hopelessly skinny and have so much weight near my gut. I followed his simple nutrition plan and within two weeks the weight was gone and I began to feel and look leaner than ever. It's funny because I didn't think anything of it until after the two weeks. This guy is a STAR!!!

[splintercell99]

without exercise your hormones get out of wack and for some people it means fat being distributed unevenly... straight to the badaonka donk and the waist. This guy knew "the laws of nature" back then, glad he helped someone already! im next in line for that help

[281connor]

What a guy

[krazyMaz]

WHAT AN INSPIRATION

[bodytrainer1]

When I was a kid in the 50s, I used to watch Jack do his show. I would look at him work broomsticks, move around chairs, and be telling me to do what he was doing. I did. I'm 61 now, I still do what he taught me. I've always trained naturally, even winning titles in the INBF. I'm so glad these shorts are here on youtube. This guy is a blessing to all of us.

[naturalgreen]

I understand. The old days eh?

[JudgeJulieLit]

@bodytrainer1 Yes . . . improv with props -wise, Jack LaLanne was the Fred Astaire of exercise !

[notchathon]

@bodytrainer1 That's absolutely awesome good sir

[SUPREMEdonuan]

I need to write this down and post it next to my bed.

[needtogetoutmore]

Positive thinking does work, it's simple and free.

The World could be a better place if everyone was as enthusiastic about life as Jack is. Great stuff.

[ManTigerBMW]

I think Peeing on the toilet seat.. could be added as an elevnth step!!

[thewomandirector]

I think it's part of the Pilates program. It's a good hand-eye exercise!

[Duracellman]

This was a daytime show. In those days the assumption was that anybody at home watching would be a woman, because the men were all meant to be at work.

[Wildeparker]

Please! This guy is no sexist. You're making us girls look bad. I found him very respectful actually, especially for someone speaking to us from the Mesozoic era. ;-)

[joroma77]

Actually, I bet men were more respectful towards women at that time. And women were feminine, not raunchy and tacky.

[cheeco8]

well they did have tattoos but not as common usually people in the navy and the women were usually sex workers.

one thing for sure those people knew how to dress.these days people just dont care

[rmsolympic1]

joroma77, you bet right: I firmly think so. Behaviorially speaking, although those days were imperfect, they were much better than now, especially insofar as how we treated each other.

[HGeneAnthony]

@joroma77, go to tinyurl and append the following ya34spx It's a real article from good housekeeping from the 50s.

[moneyman10k]

@HGeneAnthony actually that housekeeping image is a 30 year old hoax

[BeatBay]

@joroma77 thats true, BUT women (those days) deserved to be treated good! todays women act like a man and dressed like a whore. and if you act like a beer drinking man/ dressed like a whore, you will be treated like a whore/man!

[missgocart]

This has worked better than any self improvement book! Try it for a week--it works! This guy is way ahead of his time.

[selfmadebillionaire]

jack lalanne rocks!
