What About IDEA World 2011? http://ericbeard.com/2011/08/22/have-you-ever-lost-a-loved-one-what-about-idea-world-2011/ http://ericbeard.com/2011/08/22/have-you-ever-lost-a-loved-one-what-about-idea-world-2011/#comments Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:22:40 +0000 admin http://ericbeard.com/?p=972 We have all experienced death on some level. Whether it be by a heartbreaking story you heard about from the media or by losing a friend or loved one. Exactly one week ago my Mother In-Law died from stroke. She was at Tufts Hospital at the Michael Neely Neuroscience Unit. This unit was brand new and had been opened for only about a week when she was admitted. Everyone at this unit was spectacular, from the surgeons to the case managers to the nurses. I believe that she received the finest care on the planet. The facility was sparkling and spotless with the latest technology.

The week was a bit of a whirlwind. While I was out in LA at IDEA World 2011 when I heard the news about my Mother In-Law’s stroke.

A Great International Convention!


I was torn, leave to be with my family and abandon the three presentations that I had for IDEA, two of which were video recorded to make products through IDEA or stay. My family comes first and after several conversations with my wife, she encouraged me to stay in LA unless things took a turn for the worst. I got home Sunday night and by Monday, things did get worse and the end came with my Mother In-Law surrounded by her four daughters at the hospital. She was only 57.

The week was spent with family, consoling and comforting each other. There’s so much that needs to be considered. What I did enjoy was learning more about her and her life. I knew here for 20 years, but I only saw a small part of her life. I was honored to be asked to deliver the eulogy at her mass and hearing the stories and memories from her friends and family was amazing.

So does this post have anything to do with fitness or corrective exercise? Well, over 34% of the US population over the age of 20 is clinically obese. An adult suffers a stroke @ every 40 seconds in the US. The statistics go on and on and on….

We need to get people moving and doing it regularly. It can literally change and save lives.

If this is a direct love one and you need to go through the grieving process, I understand, but when we are talking about health and fitness icon Jack LaLane who died peacefully in the presence of his family this past Sunday at the impressive age of 96, I think it is a time for a celebration of his life.

I am too young to have experienced most of Jack’s impact first hand. I merely get to enjoy the foundation he has laid and learn anecdotally about his life and accomplishments. Here are some of my favorite other Jacks are;

Captain Jack Sparrow in Fine Form


Jack Lambert was Vicious on the Gridiron


KRS One Raps about the Jack of Spades



Just Jack!


The Jack we need to celebrate now is this guy…

Jack LaLane now and then


Wish I Ever Looked This Good


Impressive...

It was not just his amazing feats of fitness but his commitment to changing lives. He believed in helping people be the best they could through fitness. He achieved when he was told that he couldn’t. Success when so many thought he wouldn’t. He was called a quack and a nut job. He was doubted, challenged and disrespected. He rose above and lived his mission like no other. Thank you for the example Jack. You made the world a better place.

I came across this video and it made me think of my friends and family who do not exercise. My Dad who is overweight and has several risk factors for heart disease. My Grandmother who has multiple health challenges. My cousins and aunts who do not care for themselves. My uncles who have long since let their physique go. my friends that are young enough that they don’t quite feel their age yet…but that day is coming. Of my wife who I love very much that is trying to make exercise a part of her life and my kids who I pray will adapt the healthy lifestyle that we try and live.

This video touched me. I hope you can share it with your loved ones and friends and it can touch them too.
