I loved watching Jack LaLanne on tv when I was a kid. He passed away this afternoon at the age of 96. Wow, he looked good for being 96!

He was an amazing guy. I watched his show years ago and tried to do exercises with him. I was really little. He will be missed.

He didn't use any fancy equipment - just a chair and a jump rope is all I can remember.

His was one of the first T.V shows I can remember. He was wearing a jumpsuit before people knew what a jumpsuit was.
