I finally did it, again – an introvert joined the local weight gym

Thanks to Jack Lalanne we have them

At age 21 in 1936 he opened up the first US health club in California

He designed fitness equipment we use today

The exercise “Jumping Jack” refers to Jack

If this is your first introduction to this Hero

he is BELOVED by us who grew up watching him

on our black and white TVs as children

He was America’s first fitness and health trainer

had the longest running 34 year long fitness and exercise show
and he was the nicest, friendliest encourager

A pioneer of the best use of TV

Many attribute him to their 60 years of staying slim, strong and healthy.
If you can’t walk up stairs Turn the steering wheel Bend down and Get back up

from lack of exercise

Thanks to the official Jack Lalanne Youtube channel

we can enjoy exercising with Jack anywhere.

And enjoy reading the swell comments.

Much love, your friendly poem writer Deb is working out! Thanks Jack!
