Jack LaLanne born in 1914 was
a nationally acclaimed innovator of
exercise and nutrition. At first doctors
thought he was a charlatan, but “Time
has proven that what I was doing was
scientifically correct; starting with a
healthy diet followed by systematic
exercise and today everyone knows
it.” He was the first to include weight
training for athletes, women, and
seniors. He had the first televised
exercise program long before Jane
Fonda and Richard Simmons. Jack also
combined good nutrition with exercise,
and his famous juicer was an important
feature in his exercise program.
Jack motivated millions throughout
his 70-year career to improve their
lives by improving their health. As an
expert on exercise and nutrition, Jack
promoted living long through a healthy
lifestyle, by “helping people to help
themselves feel better, look better, and
live longer”. “Exercise is king, nutrition
is queen, put them together and you
have a kingdom!” His last book,
LIVE YOUNG FOREVER- is critically
acclaimed as his best book.
“
My top priority in life is my workout
each day.” To the day he died Jack
LaLanne lived by what he said to others,
and did so for over 75 years.
With 10 exercise classes offered
each week for the residents and the
Oasis open 24 hours a day with its
exercise equipment to build strength
and endurance, every resident should
be able to find a systematic exercise
program to meet their abilities and
needs. Mary Hand is on duty Monday
through Thursday until noon to assist
you with developing a program right for
you. Jason Sparrow and the Physical
Therapy Department are available
for consultation and physical therapy
for anyone who has a question about
where they should begin. Of course,
consulting with your primary care
doctor is important for individuals new
to exercise.
Remember Jack Lalanne’s “gospel
message of get out of your seat and onto
your feet.” Join one of our classes or
