The name Jack Lalanne is not familiar to me but the famous people that were inspired by him I'd known like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood and many others.
Many things to read on his website.
Thanks for sharing that link.

You don't know Jack because you're not as old as me, young pup! ;) hehehe
How old are you then 60 plus?
I wish I could practice to be like old people so that when the time comes when I get old, I'll be happy and know what I'm gonna be doing like an old joyful man.
LOL, I'm not quite that old, but I'm "over the hill".
If you want to practice, then volunteer your time at a nursing home or other facility for the elderly. Learn what life is like for them. Spend time with old people, observe how slowly they move, the pain they feel in their feet (plantar fasciitis), in their legs (sciatica), in their back, notice how they have trouble keeping their balance, and you can then figure out exercises you can do to try and simulate that. Put heavy weights in 2 backpacks and wear them tightly strapped to your body, then get down on the floor and try to get up again. Add weights to your arms and legs, too, for a more realistic sensation.
Imagine what it's like when you can't see well, and try wearing sunglasses all the time. Plug your ears up to simulate hearing loss, and so on...
Oh my gosh!
And try to forget some things like a real old man.
Gotta have to practice how to die?
Breathing heavily and sleeping 2 hours a day?
And speaking softly without any anger.
I don't have to try to forget things - I've got so many thoughts in my head that I regularly forget stuff, and have for decades! :P
Yeah.
I guess most things we forgot are those not quite important.
The more we get older the more our memory decline, why is that?
Biological decline, at least, plus some diseases, poor nutrition, lack of a variety of activities to stimulate different parts of the brain. And genetics plays a part.
