The man who urged health, fitness and happiness among all, the great Jack LaLanne, has died at the age of 96 on Sunday.
Mr. LaLanne died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay, his agent, Rick Hersh, told the Associated Press.
Mr. LaLanne led an extraordinary life from opening up what is believed to be the first health club in Oakland in 1936 to creating innovative television workout programs.
Age was only a number for the fitness guru. In 1994 at age 80 Mr. LaLanne swam, while tied up in handcuffs and shackles along with fighting strong winds and currents, 1.5 miles while towing 80 boats with 80 people from the Queensway Bay Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary.
