You don't know what you've got till it's gone. Here's to you, Jack LaLanne. I was a fool to think you were just that guy who did those fingertip pushups and juicer infomercials. Shame on me. I'm just beginning to realize your brilliance. Thank you for being so ahead of your time. For opening the doors of this nation's first health club in 1936. For having the longest running television exercise program, and using that program to inspire the 1950's American housewife. For all your passion in making every one of us feel like our best selves. And for the fabulous jumpsuit. I heart you.
Here are just a few clips of Jack. I hope there will be a day when his show is available on DVD. Until then, YouTube will have to suffice.
And, of course, you know I have to throw in the dog clip!
