"What you're going to eat today is what you're going to wear tomorrow", Jack LaLanne
Fitness guru Jack LaLanne recently died at 96. I'm inspired by Jack as he worked tirelessly over decades transforming the lives of others. By training he was a chiropractor and his workout show was a television staple from the 50s to the 70s. He held the world record in pushups and did 1032 pushups in 23 minutes. He worked out 7 days a week til he died. He did 1.5 hours of weights and then swam for an hour. Ever wonder wear the name jumping jacks came from. You got it. Jack LaLanne.
Jack's messages were time-less, but so meaningful and with such impact:
"The only way you can hurt your body is not to use it."
"Inactivity is the killer"
"It's never too late."
"You're never too old to get in shape and take care of your body"
"Take care of your back - other health problems originate from it"
"Never Stop Learning"
and my personal favorite:
"What you're going to eat today is what you'll be wearing tomorrow"
He talked about health/fitness issues that are still relevant today. A lot of people say Jack was ahead of his time. I think it's worse than that for us, we're all "behind of our time". He was all about eating foods in their natural state and do vigorous exercise. Rest in peace Jack. You were an amazing man.
