By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 16th 2009 06:42AM

Indestructible fitness guru Jack LaLanne is recovering from heart valve surgery at his home in Morro Bay, his publicist said Tuesday. The man who brought you 'The Jack LaLanne Show' and the Power Juicer underwent the procedure at a Los Angeles hospital on Dec. 8 and is expected to make a full recovery.

Before surgery, he told his family that dying would wreck his image.

At 95, LaLanne is still active on the TV circuit and recently appeared on an episode of 'The Jay Leno Show' to work out with the shlubby Vince Vaughn.

He became famous for his chiseled physique and for outrageous stunts, such as towing boats while swimming across Long Beach Harbor handcuffed. He became a household name by hosting his exercise show on television from 1951-85 and for hawking health products like the accident-prone Juice Tiger and later the popular Power Juicer.
