Fact is, most people live to 75 and do maybe 1 year of exercise in that time.
LaLanne lived to 96, but when you subtract out the time he spent exercising he lived about the same amount of USEFUL life as everybody else -- maybe less.

Well, doesn't that depend on how you define useful? If he enjoyed what he was doing, it made him feel good, and he educated others in the process, I don't know that I'd say it was lacking in usefulness.
You can't out exercise the Grim Reaper though, that is true.
