Amazing

What do you think is going on in this picture? Has some poor guy fallen out of the boat into the river?
The first amazing thing about that guy in the river is that he is 70 years old. He is in fact celebrating his 70th birthday by going for a swim. Behind him, you cannot see them all in the picture but there are 70 boats carrying 70 people. And yes, the swimmer is pulling all of them along.

That amazing guy is Jack LaLanne. Since way back in the 1950's he was spreading the message of healthy eating and exercise. And look where it got him, from being a sickly teenager who couldn't even make it to school. You can read more about Jack at this link:


The link takes you to an article about Jack on the website of Shawn Stevenson, another amazing guy who transformed his own life through healthy eating and exercise and is now tirelessly working to help countless others do the same (just like Jack LaLanne did throughout his lifetime). Spend some time on Shawn's website; it's a goldmine of healthy information.

How will you be celebrating your 70th?
