I am fortunate enough in life to say that I have plenty of money and I love my rigorous education, but what's most important to me is the health of my body! That's why I work out every day! Jack LaLanne was right on the money!
he started as a sickly teen ... so he is an example of what CAN be done..I personally saw him @ age 94... he lived what he preached, as does his wife.
Watching this is so refreshing!! He was so positive about life, our country and making good choices everyday. If this wasn't in black and white, I would not believe he said these things so long ago about people wanting to buy their health.
Jack was a legend when it came to health, and its a shame that I didn't know about him and his wonderful career until the day he passed away.
He makes a good point about "buying your way through life", as I honestly believe consumer society has got out of control. It seems at least 70% of food available are man made...
Jack was part of my life growing up I remember being dazzled by him his genuine kind soul ,I was in MB and having dinner by myself 2002 Jack and his wife were there and they had me join them for dinner it was a blast I was smiling for weeks.
96 years old when he passed and steel not enough time with him.
I think the same as him. Now i know that we can have a great shape as his age, now it's the time to follow him so he would appreciate us. Wake up people, we need more Jack Lalanne.
Your advice is just as great now as it was then. I do my best to take care of myself, you really are an inspiration. Hard to believe you didn't live forever.
Everyone is saying rest in peace but do you really think a man like jack lalanne is resting in heaven? still he will be missed and remain a legend in the world of fitness
Mind, Body, Spirit... RIP Jack you set the touch tone in the fitness industry today, and he also gave this wonderful philosophy which is one reason he was so sucessful
Sadly, Jack has died yesterday of the complicatiions of pneumonia. He gave me so much insentive and a wonderful juicer I have used for many years. Rest in peace Jack, we will not forget you!
VERY much ahead of his time! And how sad that there's no exercise/health programs like his on TV these days - never before with so many obese people is a show like LaLanne's needed.
Well, it's 6:30pm, gotta a twinge in my left hip that developed as I slept wrong. But thanks to this guy, watchin' this video now, I'm off for a walk or heck even a bike ride if it's survivable.
Totally agree with Jack in this video...100000%!!! Doctors today need to educate their patients on the fact that there is no wonder drug for heart disease or cancer. They need to educate these people and encourage them to do their own research, get a second or third opinion if they have to, and show them how with a few lifestyle changes, they can fix their problems on their own.
DUDE! This guy is awesome.. WAY WAY ahead of his time...cmon..I heard about Lalane and now I can see why I've heard about Lalane. He's one of the best
I'm a young man (16yold) and my life is junk food junk drinks and all of the things this man tells us not to consume. Well I stumbled upon one of his videos one day and I was ashamed I live a life like that. This man is truly a genius he is just showing us the way to live healthy and with a good figure. So from this day on I'm following this man's instructions. I think all of you ppl sitting in front of the PC eating a pizza or something greasy should also listen to him. God bless you Jack.
@GigatX BE PROUD of yourself! I am amazed by you! To simply realize your way of life and discovering you've been doing the wrong things and then change your ways! That deserves an applause!
It might be hard to stay on the road of health and self-empowerement! But you're not alone, you're never alone!
If you need any training tips, tips on diet etc.
You're free to message me any time!
Jack Lalanne is truly an inspiring and great person! Luckily we have some visionaires left! Beautiful!
I love how he hits the proverbial nail on the head concerning people who live only in the head and not in the body. I mean... he doesn't hold back. He's certainly not an offensive or obnoxious character. He just has passion for helping people become their very best.
Jack LaLanne is the KING of home fitness...and not just physical fitness, but mental and spiritual fitness as well. Awesome man. I wish they still showed this on ESPN Classic.
What a beautiful man, sad to see that such awesome info only gets 15000+ views and stupid moronic videos hit the 1000000+ within days!
True words of wisdom, and then they tell us that we are evolving - more like devolving!
Could you imagine how much more knowledge this world has hidden in its past? I think I will start reading more books on old scholars like Plato, Aristotle, etc.
I think we need to go back in order to progress forward.
@TheUltraNinja It's been a year since your comment I saw you got on yesterday tho. Nice comment really well worded. Would like to ask if you have read any of these books you have mentioned and if so maybe name a couple good books you would suggest. Mainly about our hidden history it's very interesting!
@skateVA90 Hi, sorry for such a late reply, I haven't read any of those books I mentioned, I still want to, & I'm really glad you posted this reply, I guess I became complacent & not only with my endeavor of knowledge but also with my health, I'm recovering from a prolapsed disk. I am very blessed though, I have made a new friend who is also my Chinese doctor, he has not only helped with my healing, but has educated me on how to heal my herniated disk, guess knowledge can come in many ways :)
@TheUltraNinja Wise words, my friend, wise words. I do read Plato, Socrates, Aristotle etc. It's fine stuff!
The world has SOOO much beautiful great knowledge in hidings.. Society de-evolves. People smoke, even though they know it destroy their body. Drink enormous amounts, even though they know it ruins their mind. Do drugs, even though they know it ruins their life.
People rather want, instant elevation, rather than permanent joy and personal power!
I never knew Jack Lalanne was such a great advisor on life and happiness. I just thought he was a fitness guru. What he says here in the 1950's rings even stronger today as it did then. America is so focused on the "quick fix." Pharmaceutical companies have a pill for just about anything because we are too busy and/or lazy to take care of ourselves.
What is really pathetic is that the medical profession has become corrupted by the pharmacutical industry, and all too many of the American sheeple are hooked on the idea of looking for easy solutions to good health without having to take responsibility for their lives and health.
