Throw Down!

If you haven't heard the news, Fitness guru Jack Lalanne dies at 96 - USA Today

In honor of the man who was vocal to fight for what we fight for today, we'll be showing one of the many videos of his show. His contribution to the world was making people (or, his "students") responsible for their own well being. He also did a lot of crazy shit on his birthdays.

Jack taught us to believe in ourselves to find success.

"POOPED-OUT-ITIS"

"You’ve got to work at living. Ninety-nine and nine-tenths of Americans work at dying! You’ve got to eat right, exercise and have goals and challenges. Exercise is king. Nutrition is queen. Together, you’ve got a kingdom. If you have a Corvette, you don’t put water in the tank. The human machine deserves the same treatment."
– Jack Lalanne

It's amazing how much that video makes sense, even today. Usually old videos seem so archaic...
