As many of you know, "The Godfather of Fitness", Jack LaLanne and his 70 plus year career, motivated millions of people around the world to improve their health. Well, he didn't do it alone! As they say, behind every successful man is a woman... In fact, let me read what the Godfather himself has to say about this... "If you are around her for any length of time, you will find her enthusiasm for life is contagious. She can do push-ups, chinups, she's a terrific golfer, swimmer, and all around athlete. She's an author, lecturer, civic leader, in fact - she runs BeFit Enterprises and JackLaLanne.com. She is a super wife and good friend. To me, she is living proof of all that a woman can be." Jack is, of course, describing his wonderful and beautiful wife, Elaine LaLanne, whom he called "LaLa", and I'm honored to say that she is today's very special guest At the age of 27 she was living on chocolate donuts, candy, soft drinks, hot dogs, ice cream and smoked cigarettes. That all changed after meeting Jack. She did a 180 with her lifestyle and ever since then has preached the fitness message to all who would listen. Today, at 90 years young, Elaine claims she feels 29. She invigorates everything Jack stood for. She has never slowed down and can still do full body pushups. She looks young, acts young, and inspires people around the world to be young at any age. She has written 5 books, Fitness after 50, Dynastride, Fitness after 50 Workout, Total Juicing, and Eating Right for a New You. Elaine and the family are putting the finishing touches on Jack's Autobiography and video documentary. She continues to preach Jack's message through her lectures and personal appearances. She can be seen on the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer infomercials and his exercise shows soon to be online. Currently Elaine has been working with Universal Studios to create the first Jack LaLanne Physical Fitness Studio in over thirty years at the Cabana Bay Resort in Orlando, Florida.
