Jack LaLanne was a pioneer in the world of fitness.
The gyms that you see all over town? He opened one of the nation's first fitness gyms in 1936.
The machines that fill those gyms? He invented dozens of them.
All of those home workout videos and television weight loss shows? He was the man who first brought fitness into your living room. The Jack LaLanne Show was the longest–running television exercise program of all time. It was on television for 34 years.
And that's just his business career.
If you really want to be impressed, take a look at a handful of his personal fitness achievements.
Here are a few of the fitness feats that LaLanne accomplished…
He swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco while wearing handcuffs.
At age 42, he set the world record for pushups by doing over 1,000 in 23 minutes.
At age 45, he did 1,000 jumping jacks and 1,000 pullups in 1 hour and 22 minutes.
At age 60, he swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf for the second time. This time he not only wore handcuffs, but also towed a 1,000 pound boat.
LaLanne was in such remarkable shape that he could do one—armed fingertip pushups while in a completely stretched out position.
Ready for something really incredible?
To celebrate his 70th birthday, LaLanne swam 1.5 miles along the California coast from the Queen's Way Bridge to Long Beach Harbor. And he did it while wearing handcuffs and shackles on his arms and legs and towing 70 row boats holding 70 people.
It sounds impossible, but here's a photo of the 70–year–old LaLanne finishing the swim with all of the boats dragging along behind him.
