100 Fitness Fascinations

In Memory of Fitness Legend Jack LaLanne

— January 25, 2011 — Lifestyle
The "Godfather of Fitness," Jack LaLanne has recently away on at the age of 96. LaLanne spent almost 80 years inspiring and helping Americans get in shape.

Here is a fitness tribute to the incredible Jack LaLanne! From gyms powered by exercising patrons to inspiring exercise ads and hilarious bodybuilder spoofs -- I hope you enjoy this collection.

Implications - Fitness products are getting increasingly complex. The various gadgets for working out and health often fuse other lifestyle activities and/or chores, for example, mowing the lawn, cleaning or gaming. This reflects the consumer's wish to save time by doing two things at once. Products and services that multitask can be applied to almost any industry.
