Jack LaLanne Zitate

Jack LaLanne, eigentlich François Henri LaLanne , war ein US-amerikanischer Begründer der US-Fitness-Bewegung. Man nannte ihn auch den Godfather of Fitness, da er fast sein ganzes Leben damit verbracht hatte, seine Mitmenschen zu einem gesunden Leben zu bewegen.

LaLanne wurde 1914 in San Francisco als Sohn französischer Immigranten geboren. Als Kind ständig kränkelnd, änderten eine vegetarisch-zuckerfreie Diät und ein Aufbautraining sein Leben völlig. Jahre bevor sie in Mode kamen, gründete LaLanne 1936 in den USA das erste moderne Fitness-Studio – The Jack LaLanne Physical Culture Studio – in Oakland, Kalifornien, das im Laufe der Jahre mehr als 80 Niederlassungen erhielt.

Jack LaLanne entwickelte die ersten Fitnessgeräte, wie den Beinstrecker oder diverse Kabelzugmaschinen, die heute noch in vielen Fitnessstudios vorzufinden sind. Für Frauen bot er als erster das damals noch unvorstellbare Training mit Gewichten an.Mit einfachen Übungen, die er in Fernsehshows zeigte, verhalf er von den 1950er bis 1970er Jahren bei Millionen Amerikaner zu einem regelmäßigen Fitnesstraining.In Deutschland wurde er vor allem durch den in den 1990er Jahren in einer Dauerwerbesendung beworbenen Juice Tiger bekannt, später auch durch den nach ihm benannten, ebenfalls im Fernsehen beworbenen Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer.

LaLanne war zweimal verheiratet, hatte zwei Söhne und eine Tochter.Er verstarb am 23. Januar 2011 im Alter von 96 Jahren in seinem Haus in Morro Bay in Kalifornien an den Folgen einer Lungenentzündung. Bis zu seinem Tod ernährte sich LaLanne gesund und trainierte täglich. Wikipedia
