Re: Do you remember Jack LaLanne?

I remember him.  My mom had this thick rubber exercise piece with foot stirrups and a handle bar that he endorsed.  You had to stretch with it (put your feet in the stirrups, grab the handle bars and then try to lay down flat on your back).

 

I also remember he was so built through his shoulders and later on in life wore shoulder pads.

He wore shoes that looked like ballet slippers and had an organ accompany him while he was doing repetitions. After 50 plus years, I still do his facial exercises. I think he was a kind soul with a good message.

Jack did live advertiments forHollywood Bread on his show.  It was a dark, whole wheat bread, thinly sliced.  It was healthy, concidering the breads of the day.  This ad was from 1964...

 

It was concidered a diet bread.  I remember it was heavy and a little dry, but great toasted,

I do not need a pix to remind me who he is - an amazing man. A perfect example of staying busy and taking care of yourself. Loved watching him.

Re: Do you remember Jack LaLanne?

I remember working out to his AM TV show with my mother when she was pregnant; the gentle jumping jack exercises helped her feel more fit.  I also remember the organ background music and his white German shepherds.

 

Early interactive TV, and I really enjoyed it.

Yes.  my late husband credits him with his (my husband's) life long quest to stay in shape.
