Through his career, he has won numerous awards including the Horatio Alger Award from the Association of Distinguished Americans, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Hall of Fame.
The Jack Lalanne Show was the longest running health and fitness show in history, airing from 1951 to 1985.

In addition to the Jack Lalanne Show, he has published numerous books, created countless health and fitness videos, appeared in films, marketed health and exercise equipment and vitamin supplements, and as a singer with Connie Haines.
