What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Jack LaLanne's Best Fitness Tips


  • If man makes it, don't eat it.




  • Eat natural foods whenever you can-six servings of raw vegetables and five pieces of fruit everyday!




  • The only way you can hurt your body is by not using it.




  • Do high intensity cardiovascular exercise, and keep it short unless you're trying to lose weight and need to burn off extra calories.




  • Change your fitness routine every 30 days. Do something different!




  • For absolute beginners: start with weight training and exercising in a pool.




  • Keep your rest periods between sets very short. Only take the minimum time you need to catch your breath.




  • Everything in your body manifests through circulation-your memory, sex life, skin, hair, everything-and you can improve your circulation by exercising.




  • Exercise makes you happy!




  • Try supplements-get everything as natural as you can and start using herbs, enzymes, and more.




  • Get a physical exam once a year-no matter what shape you're in, little things can happen and you should be aware.




  • Three things make you tired: lack of exercise, empty calories, and nervous tension.




  • Scales lie! Use a mirror and a tape measure to make sure you're making progress, toning and re-shaping your body.
