He Inspired Many People!

Jack Lalanne has passed away at the age of 96. He inspired millions of people to take better care of their fitness and health. He, along with Charles Atlas, inspired me more than any other fitness gurus. They both could walk the walk as well as talk the talk, and no one comes near to matching their achievements in fitness. May both Jack and Charles (Angelo) rest in peace.

I concur.

Jack LaLanne and Charles Atlas are my two health and fitness heros. Both are "gurus" of the industry as far as I'm concerned.

I own Jack's last book, "Live Young Forever," and it's EXCELLENT. Definitely worth the time and money to read!

This is a guy who, even in his 90s, was still exercising 2-3 hours per day, and selling juicers on TV. Truly an inspiration!

I SUSPECT WE WILL NOT SEE THE LIKES OF ATLAS AND LALANNE AGAIN. IN THE CURRENT BODYBUILDING CLIMATE I CANNOT THINK OF ANYONE THAT APPROACHES THEM AS FAR AS HEALTH AND BODYBUILDING ROLE MODELS.
