Fitness guru Jack LaLanne died Sunday of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in central California, his longtime agent said.
“I have not only lost my husband and a great American icon, but the best friend and most loving partner anyone could ever hope for,” Elaine LaLanne, LaLanne’s wife of 51 years and a frequent partner in his television appearances, said in a written statement.
LaLanne had a television show from the 1950s to the 1970s in which he demonstrated exercises using no special equipment. He continued to be an inspiration to Americans until his death. He founded a chain of fitness studios and late in his life he promoted Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer.
