Jack LaLanne, fitness guru, has died at 96.
He was in before fitness was in. I remember him pumping iron when I was a kid, back in the late Fifties or early Sixties.
He reportedly said, "The only way you can hurt the body is not use it."
I, um, will [seemingly] resist the temptation to make metaphorical extensions regarding using or not using body parts, brainpower, soul power, et cetera.
So there. Resisted. Barely. Sort of.
Thanks, Jack LaLanne, for making exercise fun before it was hip.
