Jack LaLanne, the veteran television fitness guru who did much to promote exercise and healthy eating in America, has died aged 96.
Even well into his 90s the fitness fanatic exercised for two hours a day.Mr LaLanne, who was only 5ft 6ins tall, was born to French immigrant parents in San Francisco and was a “sugar-holic” as a child.
His day-time television show, instructing housewives how to work out and eat healthily, ran for 34 years from 1959.
Among numerous high profile fitness stunts he completed 1,000 push-ups and 1,000 chin-ups at the age of 45.
More detail here.
He was surrounded by his family and passed very peacefully and in no distress.
May he rest in peace.
