As a baby boomer growing up in the sixties I was fortunate enough to be a student of Jack LaLanne. I would listen to his lessons and try to mimic the exercises. I too wanted to be strong and healthy. Many others have tried to replicate but he was the first. The first in the industry and he walked the talk. It was not a T.V. show for him to endorse every supplement on the market or product it was his lifestyle. He lead by example and taught us how to extend our self and not to settle for mediocrity. He taught us more than exercise he was also our first Lifestyle Coach it was our responsibility to follow through. He taught us about nutrition and that you don't stop after a '12 week challenge' this is a life time commitment.
I came across his website a few years back and found that you can watch his old T.V. shows there.His self improvement top ten list is still valuable today.
1) Exercise
2) Nutrition
3) Positive Thinking
4) Good Habits
5) Grooming
6) Smile
7) Posture
8) Help Others
9) Relaxation
10) Faith
'It's not what you do some of the time that counts, It's what you do MOST of the time that counts.'
