It's Time To Say... Good... Bye
Jan. 24th, 2011 06:07 amSadness. Fitness guru and pretty much all-American icon Jack LaLanne has passed away at the age of 96. If you never had the good fortune to see him on TV (and he was all over the place when I was a kid), he was truly the greatest cheerleader for getting off your ass and moving that the world has ever seen. Richard Simmons isn't even close.
I know some of you keep exercise logs on LJ or other social sites, and I think that's great. I am, at this point, a lump -- partly because of my current physical limitations, but partially because I am lazy about exercise. This isn't a New Year's Resolution or anything, but I am gonna try to be more active, and to note it here when I do so. So either there'll be a lot more entries with the "exercise" tag... or there won't.
I'm planning to do a little tai chi, maybe sit-down yoga, and I've got some small weights to start with. If you exercise, what's your preferred program? Do you watch a specific TV or video, do you go somewhere to run or walk, a particular gym because they have such-and-such weights and machines, yoga, tai chi, what? Just curious.
