Hey MetalMeister,
Jack Lalanne was a very amazing person. I still remember him from when I was 5, in 1966, my mom was a stay at home mom, and one day bought home an lp record, that was a blue see through vinyl record and a blue rubber band with loops at each end, called a "Gamour Stretcher". Jack Lalanne's record was a complete exercise program that could be accomplished using many common household items chairs, broom handles, etc. His workouts were done with background organ music, and this man was very well ahead af any , repeat any, gym program, or product out there. I live in Vancouver, and remember Jack coming into Olympic Fitness in 1987 and came into the gym and had workouts with the members. he would intorduce himself, and encourage you along, supersetting exercises with different people, at the same time. I saw him blast off 100 situps, and made it look like he was just warming up. Absoultely phenominal physique. To say he was charismatic, and full of energy, would be a complete understatement. If the world had more Jack Lalanne's , we wouldn't be looking for alternative sources of energy, because Jack would have enough for himself, and everyone else. A very, very inspirational person, who I am sure, has helped many onto the path of better health and fitness... Thank You Jack! I will always remember
Regards, Depleted
