On January 23, 2011, the world said goodbye to a great friend, Jack Lalanne. Following his passing, many have credited Lalanne with bringing fitness into our homes, our consciousness and keeping the movement going and growing. I tend to agree. His resolve to remain healthy and in good physical condition throughout his entire adult life motivated and inspired millions, including me.
He virtually invented the concept of working out at home by following a televised trainer or coach. Richard Simmons, Shaun T., Jane Fonda, Tony Horton and the like followed on the path Lalanne blazed and maintained. Many of us have had our lives transformed thanks to advancements and convenience of individual training. For me health is one of the single most important parts of my identity, world view and vision for the future. I’m deeply grateful for the path Jack Lalanne carved in the world and proudly continue in his tradition of regular exercise and promoting fitness and total mind and body wellness.
Thank you, Jack.
