  • Jack Rocks!

  • this dude is awesome!

  • If you combine this philosophy with two steps from hell playing in the background, you WIN on the battlefield.

    Honest, and down-to-earth. We need to start telling the truth! Look around you!

    “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

  • I now have the sudden urge to move a mountain.

  • If your fat or have a thyroid problem you are retarded and not a human being according to Jack Lalanne.

  • @J5MARLON No, if you are fat or have a thyroid problem you are a human who chose to lose the battle.

  • tell it jack my mom used to watch him all the tiem

  • I'm with you, please be with me every time I don't feel like training, every time I feel like I cant lift more weight, every time I feel like I cant run anymore. Thank YOU Jack.

  • Kinda reminds me of the closing line of Sucker Punch. 

  • I love his attitude, he's inspiring me today!

  • @tweetyli1 me too.

  • Man he was something else

  • I love how Jack told it like it was. If he said that stuff about that boy today, Jack would have maybe faced a lawsuit for hurting the poor boy's feelings. If that boy was black, Jack would have been doing his jumping jacks behind bars. BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS. THEY'RE THE ONLY DAYS THAT WERE ANY GOOD.

  • @beautifulsarah100 who does skin color have to do with it? Racist much?

  • @beautifulsarah100 But remember Jack always said "Everyone talks about the good old days! The good old days are right now!"

  • This man was never afraid to hurt feelings. In the end, if people keep being told that they're healthy nomatter how they look or feel, we wind up with an obese country addicted to fast food and ice cream. He knew what to do, and now we need to follow his example.

  • this guy is great

  • im going to win the battle 

  • Respect goes out to this man. He dedicated his whole life to health & wellbeing.

  • @werbelloff I don't wanna sound pathetic, or anything but yeah, i've just seen a few videos and yeah, I think i'm inspired to go out exercise and quit my winging depressed shit now

  • im 16 and after watching a few of these vids jack was such a inspirational man it is is true only u can make the decision and work hard rip jack

  • The philosopher Albert Camus had a point. We all need to make a conscious decision whether or not to survive. If you've never actually done that -- and many people never have -- you may be fooling yourself assuming that you are 100% dedicated to living. It's obvious that a lot of us are killing ourselves everyday in countless ways. As Sigmund Freud noted, there is a life instinct and a death instinct. The battlefield lies within ourselves. BE LIKE JACK LALANE....CHOOSE LIFE!

  • The philosopher Albert Camus said: “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest – whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories – comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer [the questions of suicide].”

  • Notice how many times Jack says 'you', or 'we'. His words are always carefully chosen to put the lisener in the driver's seat - you even help him!

    "I'm going to be the general: help me show you how and you're going to fight along with me and together we're going to win this fight. You with me? Good."

    "Help me show you how" is wonderful. Immediately YOU become the general, just by taking his advice. No ego, no bullcrap. Just the truth. A true teacher.

  • jack lalanne is one of the greatest man i ever known

  • He was such an amazing person. So positive and so encouraging. His was a life well lived. Thanks for everything

  • 1:23 - 1:38 He was 50 years a head of his time, describing exactly what this country was going to become.

  • Jack was just an amazing, inspiring, wonderful person.

  • lmao! I can't even get through this whole video I was laughing so hard!

  • I have such a big sweet tooth! I’m glad I have thses Jack LaLanne videos to remind me to always put my health first. I love this article about his life, so amazing!

    bit. ly/dMRiai

  • Jack LaLanne (1914-2011)

  • @LOLMAN22... I am a vegan, and I find that well-planned plant-based diets have the potential to promote optimal health.

  • Awesome

  • Three cowardly pussies gave this a thumbs down.

  • @thegorn68,

    That's because they lost the battle of life.

    Fuck'em.

    Jack LaLanne was the best.

  • Funny, but it seems many of Jack's messages are bible-based. This one is a perfect example.

  • I watched this while eating a chicken breast, rice cakes, and fresh cherries.

    Thanks, Jack, for a life well lived !

  • Just awesome.

  • I am 59 and have been a vegetarian since 16, slightly older than the age that young JL quit eating sugar and junk, but am still somewhat of a sugarholic. I need to watch these inspirational videos every day so I will get off the sugar/high fructose corn syrup sludge once and for all.

  • @verdew8181 vegetarianism is bad news man...I had been a vegetarian since birth but last year I decided to have some tuna then some chicken and so on and my health and energy has improved dramatically. Most important thing is that my frame of mind has improved big time! I am not anxious anymore, more confident, more focused...I love it

  • RIP Jack

  • They should make alarm clocks that wake you up with this guy talking

  • @utube9000 AMEN !

  • Rest in peace, Jack.

  • This guy is my hero :)

    I've been feeling horrible lately and this video just turned my life around.

  • praise God for this man!!!

  • I've never heard anything more motivating in my life! Amazing!

  • Wow pretty smart man. Years ahead of his time. The more I excercise the better I fell emotionally and physically. I am 53 and I look as though I am 28. Run, list weights and I don't eat junk food and quit smoking 10 years ago. A little wine a couple of times a week. At 43 I was a fat slop, lazy, disgusting and brain dead. I intend to work out the rest of my life and Jack LaLane was a total inspiration and still is.

  • @doggsector That's great to hear man. I just turned 28 the other day and am already at the brain dead stage. I'm not grotesque (6'3" 210) but I knew I was capable of so much more. I've exercised hard and eaten well for the last 3 weeks and my outlook on life is already 100 times better.

  • @BrngBckOldCOB Yeah the trippy thing is now there are some nutritionists that believe people can live to 125 years old eating right and exercising. I know that there is more to life then just being physically fit, such as the spirtual side, but I think the whole thing fits together.

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

  • I'm 17, and I may be the only person in my school that knows true health and fitness, thanks to my inspiration Jack Lalanne

  • @300MUSIC I'm 19 in college in the same boat as you.

  • "thyroid wasn't producing enough thyroid" lol

  • Comment removed

  • only 3 fat kid dislikes

  • Sir, yes sir!

  • I love this man!

  • I bet you the fat kid is dead and Jack is still alive.

  • Who the hell pressed the unlike button????

  • Jack is a Saint.

  • that fat guy's kids are probably fat... just thinking.

  • Amen brotha

  • nowadays good health wont get a teenage boy a girl, they all just want the popular sport of the moment's high school superstar purely for their status, it's sickening. I saw wonderfull guys not get girls in highschool because they didnt but into all these fads like the most popular sport which was basketball back then, and I saw fat slobs get girls because they signed up for the team. I just feel sorry for kids today with football, it's mandatory to have fat in this sport or use steroids.

  • @stxlandil lol. i really did when i read that.

    i played football, wrestled, and ran track in the offseason.

    i didnt get shit in highschool lol

  • This man is awesome! Gotta love this guy! He's more than a nutritionist.

  • He says it like it is. Hole America is full of Imbeciles and Grotesque looking people. If someone had the balls to tell them what they are they maby would not be so descusting looking.

  • Comment removed

  • I want to live to be a hundred and pull a tug boat behind me once I reach that day. Than I will tell the world I modeled my health-habits after Jack Lalanne's. :D

  • "He was like an imbecile, in a way".  LOL! Jack told it like it was and still, to this day, tells it like it is. None of thse soft, politically correct garbage that we hear today where everything and everyone is 'ok'. Nope. Jack, like so many people back then, laid down the law and there it was....follow it or suffer the consequences. Bravo. We need this back so desperately.

  • @MilkyLicker3587 Good point!

  • he didnt even look like a human being

  • was there any need to abuse the kid for 30 seconds to the world we get the point LOL

  • "he was so grotesque looking"

  • the kid he is talking about from about 1:30 must be sitting in the audience so embarrassed " he didn't even look like a human being" LOL

  • I love his energy!

  • Jack reminds me a lot of my dad

  • damn he's amazing ,

  • what a great guy,truly inspired me.

    thanks jack <3

  • I never knew he referred to his audience as "students."

    What a great guy.

  • I don't care if I have to say it 10,000 more times, I will. Jack WAS the man; Jack IS the man; and 100 years from now Jack WILL BE the man.

    Don't ever start pulling punches Jack, tell it like it is. These episodes, filmed decades before I was born, continue to inspire me.

  • A TRUE CLASS ACT; Jack has style and even to this day at age 95, political correctness can't stop the man from telling it like it IS. THANKS JACK!!!

  • Goddamn... when he punched his hand my heart jumped. I feel like fucking life up!

  • Jack is truly a brilliant motivational speaker.

  • have you ever seen a battle that was won without fighting - good one.

  • screw Arnold Scharzaneggar!!! This guy is ahead of his time and he knows his nutrition about Vegetables, Fruits, Fish...and can do fingertip pushups.

    he's 95 and in great shape...but sadly millions and millions of people in America don't take good care of their health.

  • And Yes, our bodies are one of the few areas of life which we can control - it just takes time and dedication. I get asked for training/nutrition all the time now, soon as I hear the famous excuses such as "I don't have time", "I don't like that food", " I won't give up my treats" "my life is too busy to go to gym" etc etc I always say "excuse me" & walk away. We all can take control of our bodies.

  • No, we all "have time" for the activities we deem important. Everybody who ever told me they didn't have time for a gym membership all had cable TV piped into their home.

    The average slug watched 4 hours of TV daily.

  • V v true

  • VERY  GOOD!!!

  • Go Jack. Happy 95th birthday! You will make 100! One thing thats for sure though - fat people are f*****g disgusting & grotesque......

  • Maybe he'll even make it to 110.

  • At least 113 - be a teenager again!!

  • People were much more direct back then. Today, we are a nation of pussies.

  • V true. Thing is that a bit of short, sharp and directness is gona do these people a lot more good in the long run that kindness which is killing them. Gota be cruel to be kind...

  • For most of my life I was in peak physical condition. But after a few stressful years in business, my constitution bloated like a balloon. I was FAT!

    F.A.T. - Fatal, Awful, Terrible! That's a Jackism.

    Our bodies are the one area of life where we have total control. Our obesity is a direct reflection of our lack of character for all the world to see. And what did the world see in me?

    I took charge of my life and set new goals that transformed everything. It feels GREAT!.

  • Couldn't put it better myself. Like you I was in ok shape, but gradualy for whatever reason(or allowing myself to make excuses!!)I started to get outa condition. It wasn't till I saw a brutaly honest pic of myself that I quit making excuses & have now got myself into the best shape ever, which I intend to keep. Like or not the first thing we are judged on is how we look - thats the reality of life. When I see someone fat I now think lazyness, negativity, sloppyness & general "can't be bothered".

  • Jack, YOU are the MAN!

  • It shows you how the times have changed today instead of being greatful for what jack did for him Steve would sue for insensitive and hurtful remarks.

  • Wow, talk about integrity. No namby pamby wannabe here, that is for sure.

  • Thyroid schmyroid!

  • Sting...steve probably saw this and hung himself, lol

  • Hey Steve... You ever read this, let us know how you're doing!!!

  • Jack was rough!! Didn't looklike a human? He was a grotesque imbecil?? LOL, he should get juvenile delinquints and beat them into useful members of society!

  • "he didn't even look like a human being". Jack Lalanne is awesome.

  • Hey, I bet Steve is still in great shape and kickin' ass! Just like old Jack! Never give up, brothers and sisters! Nature wills our happiness. Love is the key to the mysteries of the universe. Never forget that.

  • He's a colossal figure. A wizard, a true star.

  • does jack lalanne ever actually demonstrate any exercise in his shows?

  • Yes, he ALWAYS gave practical techniques. The videos here are mostly of the genuinely uplifting psychological monologues. And how great they are!

  • who can do the extremer push ups bruce lee or jack lalanne during the 50s.

  • watch his videos about face muscles :D

  • I LOVE THIS MAN!! (in a non-homo kind of way.)

  • that means you're a homo or a hypnotized pawn if you have to clarify that

  • wow :-)!!!!

  • Jack LaLanne bad MF! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

  • Best godamn General ive seen!

  • that's the aspect about life that everyone should have. Lalanne has it.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't understand this logic. Jack started out wanting to help people get healthy. His methods became so popular he was offered a TV show and people were screaming for health food and fitness products. Everyone has to make a living & nobody rips Arnold Schwarzenegger for making 1000 times more money than Lalanne.

  • i wasn't ripping , i was in surport of him , but the greatest motivation should come from your self and not the tv ,

    he did make some good money from it though and thats not nesscarly a bad thing becuse he practiced what he preached ,

  • Its not an info commercial for him. And clearly his tips only works for people with an open mind. If you have something that suits you Jimm1233 you do that.

    Don't think this guy would care about how much money he had anyways, you can't take any of those useless money with you when you die. Maybe one should check out all his video's to understand what he's about in any case.

  • Great stuff

  • Thank you for these videos they bring me up when I'm feeling down

  • the real superman

  • 'Challenges in life = ambition, emotion, passion, compassion, motivation, inspiration, imagination...which leads to life's powerful journey'...Bless u Jack :)

  • Jack is the king. If only more people listened to him, There wouldn't be a health care problem. Hospitals would be half empty and funeral homes would have to open lotto booths to supplement their lost income.

  • I love listening to Jack talk

  • LMAO "he didn't even look like a human being.."

  • He makes me want to take care of myself. Be a fighter and chase my dreams. Be ambitious.

  • cool attitude! We have to win the battle^^

  • 100 lbs. overweight is just chubby now

  • Yeah, it's sick don't you think?

  • @ianfranklin1 i wonder what jack thinks of the biggest loser

  • @eyetoy2009

    I don't think he would like the oversensationalization of the "Biggest Loser" because that show is abusive and throws temptations into the face of the contestants and then the contestants are elected to leave, pitting one person competetively against another, all of this in front of millions of people in order to promote advertising. Jack is a all-natural guy, he doesn't believe in humiliating people and natural and steady with optimism and faith (nothing negative) is his way!

  • Another area where Jack Lalainne misleads people is preaching that smoking is a bad thing.

    I was praying the other night, and God spoke directly to me.

    He said "Outlaw"?? Do you love me"??

    I said YES, Lord!!

    God said "Do you want to be closer to me"??

    I said "Yes, Lord"!!

    Then God said "Do you want to see me in all my Glory??

    I said "Yes, Lord"!!

    Then God told me;

    "Well, Outlaw, you just keep smoking those dammed cigarettes, and it'll happen a whole lot sooner than you think"!!

  • Look at all of the "Thumbd Downs"!!

    ......Cant BELIEVE that ANYONE would have taken me seriously!!

  • People are (like Lalanne just said) imbisels!!! ;)

  • Imbeciles

  • He called the kid's appearance grotesque and said his mind was that of an imbecile because he was FAT!!! Today, a bunch of fatties would be in arms over this and Jack Lalanne can always shut up anyone because of his results, speaking truth. Fat people do look grotesque and being out of shape doesn't help your brain any. But, it can all change if people gave a shit about their health and treated life as a battlefield. Yeah, I believe that.

  • Lexcorona85;

    Stop being so judgmental of fat people.

    I'm fat, and my excess weight is caused by global warmimg!!

    You see, as the Earth's temperature is increasing, it causes me to get hot more easily.

    Consequently, I'm forced to make ANOTHER trip to the refrigerator and grab another BEER!!

    So, I'm not to blame for my excess weight!!

  • thats the spirit there outlaw1257. u suck

  • LOL, now get serious and think about your health. Fuck global warming, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

  • Lexcorona;

    Since Global Warming IS the cause of my excess weight and beer drinking, then obviously, the tax payers should be forced to spend more money on social services; like providing me with "Beer Vouchers"!!

  • Drink milk or water instead of beer!

  • Wow you just won yourself post of the year. Funniest shit I've read all week. Thank you sir.

  • He's amazing

  • Jack Lalanne is awesome!

  • long live jack lalanne!

  • Jack had a head-on car wreck in 1995 that could have killed him, if he hadn't been in such super shape and good health. He had to have both knees replaced from the accident and while in bed in the hospital he still exercised. What a great example and inspiration!

  • I just love you Jack!!!

  • haha jesus hope the kid don't see this he might get his feeling hurt lol

  • these little jack messages are totally addictive. thanks swaldo, and of course thank you jack.

  • right its like I'm hanging on his every word

  • WOOHOOO!

  • i want to win my battle!

  • i would marry jack

  • Hes no hipocrite like most people giving advice hes a true example of natures goodness in mind and body!

  • Mr.Jack Lalanne, that is.

  • I came to know about Mr.Jack lelanne just a while ago. Thanks to youtube and swaldo2000. The first video made me seek more and more. It felt as if he was talking to ME even before my parents were born!..May God bless Mr.Jack Lelanne and his family. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to forget about this human being for the rest of my life.

  • love jack hes a deep brother

  • wow this guy is the real deal ..

  • "he was so grotesque looking"
