"Jack LaLanne Is Still an Animal"

Well, I can assure you that I had no idea that was out there when I chose the new name for the blog.

How, after all these years, does the godfather of fitness do it? By balancing the brain with the beast...

Yep, pretty much. Yet, I rather like to think of it as a full embrace of your animal nature and a full embrace of your rational mind. 100% and 100%; 1+1=3. Balance implies dichotomy, and there is none. You are fully, 100% animal biologically and to the extent that you compromise that in any way, you'll suffer (and your mind along with).

But I'm sure I know what Jack means.

About

  • Tipping the scale at 230 (5'10) in May, 2007, at 30%+ body fat, I decided to do something about it. This blog is about that continuing journey. Having lost 60 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds of muscle -- on the way to 10% BF -- I'm ready to reveal my "secrets." I'm enthusiastic about helping others achieve real results. The mainstream advice is mostly wrong. One need only take a look around.
