I remember my mom and me doing jumping jacks with him every week as a kid. Boy was that fun! I remember his wife comin' on, and they always had their white German Shepherds Happy & Smiley. Jack LaLane was an American icon, and I think they oughta name something after him.
Hello, I need some help trying to find a video I saw last month. The Instructor was giving a class, using Jack's workout program ( without all the talking) . It was very 1980's looking. If you see it, please let me know. thank you :)
If you think genetics are your destiny then you are a helpless victim. Genetics play a much smaller role in a lot of things than most people think. People who smoke, drink, don't exercise, eat unhealthy diets and live to old age do that in spite of their behaviors not because of their behaviors. Also, they are a very small percentage and their quality of life in old age is probably very poor. It's not necessarily about the length of your life, but the quality of your life!
this man lived as long as he did because of genetics and not because he worked out so much. like everyone I've known chainsmokers who lived over 90 years as well as athletes who died at 70
@ronstero I'm not saying smoking is something you should ever do and I work out quite a lot myself. However, any doctor will tell you that our lifespan is to 90% determined by genetics. Have a nice day!
@einhundzweihund More like 70% and that is considering that you don't do something incredibly stupid like smoke or eat fast food every day of your life.
Dumbest thing Ive ever read. Your mind makes up 100% of your entire reality. and that's the only fact. everything else is just a game. The only reason science shows us certain answers is because we looked.. The universe is as open as your mind and you can be, do live as long as you want.
@vettefever67 When you stopping eating processed foods your taste buds change, and natural sugars, like carrots and spinach, start to taste like Candy. Stuff like cake looses its appeal, because you body doesn't crave it.
It seems to me some people need to learn the difference between living and merely existing. Just because your heart is still pumping blood through your veins and your other bodily functions like your breathing and digestive system are still working, that doesn't mean you're living. That's the big difference between someone like Lalanne and some of the couch potatoes who have posted here. Better to live a quality life to "only" 96 than merely exist to 100+.
I credit Jack with helping me to turn my life around. In this insane, competitive world of ours, Jack was there to show what is crucial to one's own development: healthy eating, exercise, and positive thinking. Though his life was limited to a century, his legacy is immortal. Rest in peace, old friend :) You earned it.
What a great man. Too bad there is not another modern day Jack to take his place and get everyone moving and motivated. He was ahead of his time. R.I.P.
He is proof that healthy life style pays off especially when conbined with the great attitude. I am just sad he is gone but until the last day he lived such full life. He is such an inspiration to me.
He may have died at 96 but he was healthy til the end. He worked out the last day he was alive and I'm sure he felt better and was healthier than 90% of Americans on his last day alive. He is my hero.
@jungleng He probably would have. He already accomplished a great triumph. He got pneumonia. It's like going to another country and contracting a plague....it had nothing to do with his healthy lifestyle, he just got unlucky and was exposed to something dangerous.
Everyone in the past thought 60 was the ending point. Then someone lived past 60, a new belief was created. Then someone lived past 70, then 80, 90, and even a whopping 100.
@flierumph jack lived life to the end, many cant say that. he got sick on a friday and died on a sunday of pnemonia. he didnt have cancer, he didnt have heart disease. he had 96 healthy years. some live to 95 but their last 25 years or so are horrid. too bad this had to kill him. he would have made 100. but he did have noticable decline from 90-96. but really, we cant expect more
@doggieman1961 That's the secret! That's what he was trying to get us all to see! It's about QUALITY of life! He had vitality for 96 years! He had vigor, stamina, enthusiasm! He packed more into a typical day than many people do in an average week. His life was truly about living every moment to the absolute fullest.
You didn't get it.Defining a high goal gives the chance to stretch your possibilities to the maximum.He knows he won't live that long, but if he's optimistic he will add years to his actual age.This is called the "mental age".
cheemooo true he wouldn't be alive without the valve replacement but he's had no other problems I'm aware of. Everyone's heart eventually goes no matter how good of shape you're in. However, he's still a 95 year old guy with almost no problems. There's a lot of validity to what he says.
Jack lalanne is a great isnpiration, although as of late hes looking sounding and acting like an old man, he appears much older now than he did here at 90.
Well at his 95th birthday he did 95 jumping jacks and 95 pushups. Plus he still works out 2 hours a day. On Bull!hit they showed him walking around and he had no signs of arthritis. His voice sounds a little older though. He supposedly just had heart surgery last month so I wonder how he'll be now. Probably will be the longest living man in known history providing no major issues.
