Description
Francois Henri "Jack" LaLanne (1914-2011) was born in San Francisco and as a child was addicted to sugar and junk food. At age 15 he became aware of proper nutrition and exercise, and in 1936 opened the nation's first health and fitness club in Oakland. In 1953 LaLanne began a morning exercise show on KGO-TV that was syndicated nationally in 1959 and continued until 1985. He marketed a variety of exercise equipment, vitamin supplements, and electric juicers, wrote a series of books, performed seemingly impossible physical feats well into his later years, and kept up his twice-daily exercise regimen into his 90s. His wife Elaine partnered with him in these efforts. Photographs, pamphlets, DVDs and books relating to Jack LaLanne. LaLanne. Elaine LaLanne; Unrestricted. Please credit California State Library.
