Jack LaLanne- Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, CA (Ep. #203) 2002

Icon, mentor, and friend Jack LaLanne died today at the age of 96. He was the father of the modern fitness culture opening his first gym in 1936. His athletic feats were many. At 43, he did 1,000 push-ups in 23-minutes on the show "You Asked for It". If he wasn't telling a joke, he only spoke words of encouragement to acquaintances and strangers alike. I have a signed picture from this interview that has hung in my room since 2002. Jack says in part, "Anything in life is possible, make it happen". Words to live by! God bless you Jack!!

A wonderful human being! He was full of positivity and love and made people feel good about themselves and positive about their futures!

@Ant1Live Absolutely!!! I mean how can you not be inspired by this guy!!!! I post stuff on my FB page about him and maybe 1 or 2 people might respond.  Crazy! So for the rest of us that love torturing ourselves in the gym or park or just love exercise, we really are the abnormal ones in the world. Let's grow old HARD!!!!

He was 89 or 90 in this video. Most people are dead by then, and those that live are barely mobile. He was full of energy and felt as if his life was just getting started. Every single person who sees this should say "I want that, too."
