How about a lovely fact for this enjoyably Sunday afternoon? Sure, please tell me one you say. Well back in the day, lets say sometime between 1920 and 1940 in Anywhere, USA there was a man named Jack Lalanne. He was a big fitness and exercise guy, and boy was he ripped. This guy has done some incredible things in his life, including putting his name on a juicing machine. That aside, he apparently invented the “Jumping Jack” as an exercise move. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
