Trim down and exercise

'Venishmartem meod lenafshotechem' ['You shall take care exceedingly of your lives' -- Deut. 4:15)

Jack LaLanne, the fitness guru who inspired television viewers to trim down, eat well and pump iron for decades before diet and exercise became a national obsession, died Sunday. He was 96.

After reading about the death of fitness expert, Jack Lalanne, I clicked on some of the short clips on YouTube featuring him. What can I say? He was a visionary - someone who impacted on the lives of many. If only we take his sage advice to heart. The following is a comment posted a number of hours ago.

What a legend! R.I.P. Mr. LaLanne. Thank you for the difference you made in so many lives, including mine.
