In Memory of Jack LaLanne, the Original Health Role Model for Many Americans

Before Jane Fonda, Kathy Smith, Bob Greene, Richard Simmons, Chuck Norris, and the You doctors (Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen), there was Jack LaLanne.  First coming into American homes on those black and white televisions in 1951, LaLanne continued to serve as our guide to good health as he aged.
