Jack LaLanne
I have to add a blog post here now so I won't forget to do it later.

I watched it and it basically changed my life.. I watched his other videos and am amazed.. Life is a daily battle win today's battle and you win it all..
Anyway, I don't think you have to agree with ALL that Jack LaLanne says.. and you have to overlook some very irritating (but mostly endearing...) things in the videos but the worst thing that you can do is to label him as idealistic, simplistic, etc. and thus dismissing the life-changing value of his videos and his life.

I have trouble viewing the YouTube clips because it's all "skippy" but I was watching the 10-point-plan and wrote down the 10 points - not that they are anything new to us JBFers, but still, always good to get a refresher course :)
I liked Jack's younger-man physique, as well as Frank Zane's - that puffy-looking Jay Cutler ... thumbs down from me :)

or if it tastes good spit it out of your mouth ;).. He was a bit extreme and, like everyone a prisoner of his time.. he espoused a low fat diet - didn't eat many egg yolks, etc. but so what.
I love the battlefield analogy..
He was one of the first people who recommended weight training.. everyone though it was really dangerous, causing heart attacks, etc. I wonder how he could be so ahead of his time..He also had only two meals a day and it is very progressive since intermittent fasting is becoming more popular.. :)

He was a great role model for many, and I have a T-shirt with a quote of his on it :) it's getting old and the letters are peeling a bit, but I'm not throwing it away! That little phrase ahs helped me for 6 years and I'm sure it will for many more to come:
Nothing Tastes As Good As Being Lean Feels

"Yes, that's nice. You can do your workout whenever and however you like. Just be careful if you workout alone, with no-one to assist you if things get too heavy, you could get hurt. But I guess you know yourself and you limits well by now.…"
