Pride & Discipline: The Legacy of Jack LaLanne

All good

Truly inspiring book. I own dozens of exercise and fitness books, but this one motivates me in a more profound way than the others do. The more I learn about Jack Lalanne, I more I admire how much he has made the world healthier -- and in turn, infused more joy in many lives. This book has motivated me to not only take care of my fitness better, but also to improve all other areas of my life!

Jack and his beautiful wife, Elaine has inspired people to keep moving forward. Positive motivation for human improvement is the reward of Jack's legacy.

Jack LaLanne is my hero, he's the fitness grandpa I never had. My grandpa met him, my dad met him, but I never got the chance. These books are all the personal connection I can get.That being said, you're not really gonna find a whole lot of new things in here. If you follow Jack at all, it's a lot of the same. I was surprised to see a few typos in the first chapter which makes me think this book was rather rushed and not well reviewed before print. If I didn't have such high respect and admiration for Jack, I would probably be somewhat disappointed.

I checked this book out from the library and read it casually over a couple days from cover to cover. After that, I decided this book was so motivating I needed to buy my own copy so I could highlight some of the motivating phrases and sections for reference. I am finally getting back to strength training since the pandemic began and need that extra motivation to get over the sore muscle hump. Thanks to the author! I feel this is a must buy for inspiration and motivation.

The story of Jack's life accomplishments was interesting, but I thought there would be more practical advice on exercise and nutrition. I bought his other books, and got what I was looking for.

I have been fortunate to be included in the LaLanne family. Jack's inspirational words will always live in my heart and mind. He taught that endurance was a goal that should never be discounted. To this day I work out and practice his philosophy. I'm 73 years old and have an on going record of 799 days in a row swimming in the Pacific Ocean. My goal is 1,000 days to honor Jack's incredible feat of 1,000 push ups follow by, 1,000 chin ups. Thank you for setting a GREAT example JackPoncho Sampedro

I'm retired and to this day from the age of 20 have trained to be strong and healthy. Mr LaLann makes me look like a donut munching slug.This book does justice to his life and his training philosophy while giving the reader solid training and motivation. Read it and weep because you're not his equal. Everyone interested in health should buy this book.

Wonderful book on a legendary man, very informative with great pictures and Jack's own writing's. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading this, a must buy for anyone interested in bodybuilding, personal fitness or Jack LaLanne himself!
