Perhaps you have been trying to lose weight for a long time or just decided to try (for the first time) or somewhere in-between? But, no matter where you fit in this scenario, the truth about weight loss is that it will take some effort on your part. And, commitment!

Jack LaLanne, one of the most famous fitness/weight control experts in the US, realized fads may come and go, but committed programs in diet and exercise WORK.
And, many agree with him. Jack has been very well known by health advocates everywhere due to his huge influence in healthy lifestyles.
He opened the nation’s first health club, in Oakland in 1936. In the 1950s, he launched an early-morning televised exercise program keyed to housewives, the Jack LaLanne Show. Also, he designed an exercise circuit of machines, (some examples: leg extension machines and cable-pulley weights).
To learn more about the “godfather of fitness” one only needs to search the internet and lots of people have written about him …he was a truly amazing individual, indeed! His routine would be difficult to keep up with by many:
- Lift weights/strength training (90 minutes).
- Swim or run (30 minutes).
- Eat 10 raw vegetables.
- Eat two meals: a late breakfast and an early dinner.
- Wake up at 4 – 5 am.
While we may not even want to attempt a rigorous program like Jack did, basic healthy eating and moderate exercise are never out-of-style.
