Jack LaLanne, on January 23, 2011, passed at the ripe and healthy age of 96. Did you know that amongst his many fitness feats that he set the world record for push ups at age 42 by doing 1,033 push ups in 23 minutes?!

At age 45, Jack LaLanne did 1000 chin ups in 1 hour.

Jack LaLanne, at age 65, towed 65 boats weighing 6500 pounds of Louisiana Pacific wood pulp, while swimming handcuffed and shackled in Lake Ashinoko near Tokyo, Japan in 1979.

Jack your are a legend. We’ll always remember you.

This is a TV interview on Marjorie Newlin – 86-Year Old Bodybuilder

Marjorie Newlin started her bodybuilding lifestyle late, at the age of 72 years old. Nevertheless, at 86 years old, this young lady, competed in bodybuilding contests, and oh my God, she looked hot!! Judge for yourself.

This blog post is in respectful memory.  Ms. Newlin passed-away on January 24, 2008 at 87 years of age  – a true fitness legend never to be forgotten.   She raised the bar higher than it had ever been raised before.

So lady, what’s your excuse? It is not how old you are but how old you want to be.

Yours truly,

Charles Prosper

Leave me you comments. I’d really like to hear them.

Life is ironic, so ironic. Just days after my book comes out “How To Get Fit Fast After Fifty”, my only brother dies of a heart attack due to high blood pressure and poor health at the age of 57. I just couldn’t get to him on time. What bitter irony.

To clarify the last name confusion, for reasons that I need not go into here, I changed my name from Charles Johnson to Charles Prosper in 1979.

My brother was an accomplished jazz musician in New Orleans, Louisiana who played the drums like nobody’s business. He also was a Hollywood actor who managed to get various small parts in big-ticket movies. Here I remember him as he appeared in the movie “Monster Ball” with Halle Berry in 2002. I will miss you, Bern.
