Jack Lalanne's Little Secret

Jack Lalanne arguably the father of modern fitness admitted in a national publication months before his death that he hated having to go to the gym. When I heard that it was liberating. One of my life heroes had to push himself to work out. It's okay to dislike the pain and time out of your day but you have to do it.

Here is a great quote from Mr Lalanne;

Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating. Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut? Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up
