Even at 95, Jack LaLanne is as tough as he ever was
 His hair might be thinning slightly, his voice gets a little raspy at times and his once-bulging frame has shrunk down to more normal proportions, but San Francisco native and fitness icon Jack LaLanne has not lost an ounce of his trademark vigor in his 10th decade on the planet."I keep on telling people," said LaLanne, who celebrated his 95th birthday Saturday, "anything in life is possible, as long as you make it happen!" Although he has become famous for his prodigious feats of strength -- and equally prodigious feats of marketing, as exemplified by his successful lines of fruit juicers, self-help books and guest lecture appearances -- LaLanne actually spent the early part of his life as a sick, bedridden weakling growing up in San Francisco and across the Bay in Berkeley. Okay! Okay! I'm going back to the gym! Posted by: Fred 2009-09-28 |
