Jack LaLanne (September 26, 1914 – January 23, 2011)
Rest In Peace
I'd like to dedicate today's blog to Jack LaLanne, a pioneer in the fitness industry. He invented a lot of the machines that you see in Gyms & Fitness Centers today, including the first Leg Extension machines and the predecessor of the Smith Machine. He's written tons of books on fitness and just released one last year titled, "Live Young Forever"
He is generally believed to have opened the first Health Club in the country in 1936. He was the first to advocate weight lifting for women. His TV exercise show was on for 34 years.
He is quoted as saying, "I can't die, it'll ruin my reputation"
Rest In Peace
