Just What The Hell Is A Birthday Challenge Anyway?
Inspired by
Jack LaLanne, a birthday challenge is essentially a goal,
generally in the form of physical achievement, to make your birthday more memorable than
the last. Usually the number of your years lends itself to the base of your challenge. For
example, on his 70th birthday Jack LaLanne towed 70 boats carrying 70 of his friends
across Long Beach Harbor (about 3 miles), handcuffed and shackled. Sound easy? Hell no! But WHY you ask? So do you want to be like Jack here on the right, scoring all the chicks and kicking some ass, or would you rather be like THIS guy?
