Isn't it amazing Boomers, how the subjects of power, strength, and health have always been a part of the consciousness of the Baby Boomer Life generation?

I can honestly say that at fifty-seven, a strong fifty-seven I might add, I can't remember a time when power, strength and health were not issues on my agenda.  At nineteen I worked in a health club. Weight lifting equipment galore; it was a luxury health club, with fountains and statues of Greek Gods and Goddesses, and Roman Columns, and Swedish Ice Plunges………..woohoo-what a place even by today's standards! 

There was also a "health food bar" and we made protein drinks with fresh fruits and veggies and all kinds of powders to boost ones energy levels.  Mind you, this was thirty six years ago.  Boomers were already thinking ahead! 

While working there I got to know more about names like Jack La Lanne and Joe Weider, our parents fitness models and strength idols.

 Joe Weider is the Canadian co-founder of the International Federation of Body Builders and he also owns BodyBuilding.com and yes, he knows the power of internet marketing.  Joe was born in 1922.  He became a holistic health legend along with his brother Ben. They are still known as the original Brothers of Iron! 

In 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger, our Boomer brother, a Weider protege’ himself and former Mr. Olympia, had the honor of presenting his mentor with the Venice Muscle Beach Hall of Fame’s Lifetime Achievement Award. How is that for a role model Boomers?!
