Jack LaLanne urged good health just before death
Sad news to start the day: Jack LaLanne, who focused on health and fitness every day of his life, has succumbed to respiratory failure due to pneumonia.

The amazing iron-pumper, who preached strength training and healthy eating long before it was fashionable, died Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay on California's central coast. He was 96.

LaLanne, who was known for his jumpsuits as well as his muscles, showed off his abilities in stunts through the years, including towing boatloads of people in frigid sea water, and became known for striking a strongman pose, revealing his bulky biceps

Jack Lalanne was a revolutionary figure in regards to health and fitness. When he first introduced proper nutrition to the public people thought he was crazy. Jack was proof if you exercise, and eat right you can live a long productive life. People should follow his lead, help reduce obesity, and increase the overall health of society.
