I recently saw Jack LaLanne advertising a juicer that he claims does wonders for his health. He looks great for a man who will turn 96 this year!

Jack LaLanne was born on September 26, 1914 in San Francisco, California. His parents were immigrants from France. When he was a boy he was addicted to sugar and junk food until, at age 15, he heard on talk on nutrition and health. This changed his outlook and he began focusing on bodybuilding and weightlifting.

LaLanne graduated from Chiropractic school in 1936 and opened his own health spa complete with fitness equipment that he designed including leg extension machines.

LaLanne hosted a television program for 34 years that presented fitness and exercise advice. He has also published books, videos, appeared in movies and has even recorded a song.

Every day LaLanne spends 1 1/2 hours in the weight room and then 1/2 hour either walking or swimming.

Jack LaLanne has been married twice and his four children. His current wife, Elaine is 83 and they live in Morro Bay, California.
