Jack LaLanne Day: September 26

To celebrate Jack LaLanne's birthday, TeamHuman.org declares September 26th as "Jack LaLanne Day," a world-wide Day of Health when we all vow to do something positive for our own fitness and nutrition, and in so doing improve our personal health, reduce our healthcare costs and make our nation stronger! See TeamLaLanne.org for more background.


The Plan
Here's the idea: instead of Jack doing an amazing feat of strength, it's our turn to affirm our commitment to health and fitness by doing something positive (and maybe challenging), related to physical fitness, nutrition, or health in general.

This collective act will serve as a birthday gift for Jack and demonstrate our appreciation for all that he has done to promote a culture of physical fitness, encouraging us to take charge of our own health. It also serves as a ceremony to symbolize a "passing of the torch" from Jack to the generations of people he has inspired.

Participation
Simply be willing and able to do something of your choosing that is positive for your health this September 26th. Perform your "feat" solo or with a group of like-minded devotees. Participation is free, open to all, ad-free, spam-free, and with no strings attached.

Ways to get involved (so we can gauge community interest and coordinate group activities):

Events
See the Events page for details about local "feat of strength" activities.

In 2010 we're trying something new: To encourages everyone to continue the Jack LaLanne Day attitude throughout the year, consider the 26th day of each month to be a JLLDay practice day, to be used as a time to check-in with our own personal health improvement committment. More about this on the Events page.
