Tuesday Trivia
2009 September 15
The first edition of Tuesday Trivia is inspired by the much anticipated new season of The Biggest Loser (which I’m watching right now). Tonight’s question is about one of the first “Boob Tube Fitspirations.”
What was the longest running television exercise program?
Clue #1: In 1956 the star of this program set a world record by completing 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes on live television.
Clue #2: During an interview with Katie Couric on The Today Show this fitness pioneer was quoted as saying “if man made it, I don’t eat it…” in regards to their own personal nutrition.
Clue #3: Its not this guy:
Enjoy your evening! I’ll post the answer on tomorrow’s post.

Enjoy Biggest Loser!

I have no clue! I didn’t get to watch the Biggest Loser last night b/c I was on a conference call. I am excited to sit down at some point and watch it. However, my hubby is boycotting it this season he says he’s tired of it

The JUICE MAN himself…Jack LaLanne!
I can’t wait to watch the rest of BL when I get home…I heard Jil Jil and Bob will be training together…I am excited to see how that will turn out lol
Jack LaLanne!! Except I totally cheated and never would have known that without my good friend Google. In fact, I don’t even know who Jack LaLanne is, but I do know I feel smart replying with the correct answer!
