Apparently his birthday stunts are out of this world. On his 70th birthday he towed 70 boats carrying 70 people while swimming handcuffed and shackled.

I watched Jack on TV probably a year ago. His talents were noted and his age mentioned. My eyes bugged out.

I don't know if anyone else is an Arrested Development nut like I am, but I laughed out loud when I saw this clip! On the show, Martin Short played a character, "Uncle Jack", who I just realized was based (loosely) on this man, Jack LaLanne. I love it!

Jack La Lanne, often called the Godfather of Fitness, is a mover, shaker, and motivator.  Jack is a pioneer who opened the first modern health spa in the United States in 1936, and in 1951, brought exercise to TV.  Although now into his 90s, Jack looks 50.  He and his wife Elaine speak all over the world, inspiring people to help themselves to a better life, physically, mentally, and morally.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.jacklalanne.com/">
