Just read an article on Jack La Lanne. He is so cool. Kind of golden era. He began his career in the thirties, and opened gyms in the thirties and forties. Developed many new technologies in gym equipment, and was a proponent of simple, mostly vegeterian, non processed food diet.
Began a television show with his own money paying for air time and became a household name getting housewives and others up and moving and thinking about their bodies.
Still kicking at 93. Still tows boats while handcuffed and shackled swimming from Alcatraz. Holds records for push ups in 24 minutes or so and pull ups in an hour and a half or so. Over a thousand each.
And in a time before steroids or the knowledge we have now, was an incredibly buff lean guy. Pretty handsome too I would say.
