Sorry to see you go Jack LaLanne...

As a young child I used to watch Jack LaLanne every morning while my mom was getting ready for work...on our black and white TV in the living room.

From CNN Entertainment:
From the 1950s through the 1980s, LaLanne performed multiple feats of strength and endurance. His first such stunt was an underwater swim the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, loaded with 140 pounds of equipment, in 1954. He went on to stage many attention-getting events, including completing over a thousand pushups in a little over 20 minutes, and towing 65 boats filled with thousands of pounds of wood pulp in Japan.
