Gym profile: LaLanne Fitness by Jim Evans!

“The walls at LaLanne Fitness are brick, the ceilings are high, and the floors are covered with thick, black rubberized matting. You get the immediate impression that this is a place for people who are truly serious about fitness. Wimps need not apply."-Gym profile: LaLanne Fitness



Here's a recent visit to Uncle Jack's home, located in central california. After many pics with Jack over the years, this "pose" is my favorite. I call it the "LaLanne Double-Bicep"!

PALEO RECIPE
"Sautéed Spinach with Pine Nuts"
4 servings
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 pounds spinach
2 tablespoon pine nuts
1/2 tablespoon flaxseed oil
Lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Wash the spinach and shake off any excess water. Remove any tough stems. Place the raisins in a small bowl and add 1/2 cup hot water. Let raisins sit until they plump up, for about 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and toast the pine nuts, while shaking the pan to evenly brown them. Add the olive oil to the pan and warm. Add the spinach and raisins and toss quickly until the greens are just wilted. Sprinkle the flaxseed oil and lime juice cover the greens and stir until warmed, about 30 seconds. Add a dash of pepper to taste. Divide evenly on 4 warmed plates.
