On the TUNNEYSIDE of SPORTS
September 23, 2013 #455 Up next..."Keep the Music Playing"
After further review... The
legendary Frank Sinatra often said that Tony Bennett was at the top of
his list as the greatest singer ever. No argument here. Anthony
Dominick Benedetto sings a beautiful song titled "The Music Never Ends"
written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Its theme is: How do keep the music
playing? It's a mantra for living. Tony, at 88, is still doing some fifty
performances annually-a feat admired by many octogenarians as well as
those wanting to be octogenarians.
As I watched sixty-four Diane
Nyad walk out of the water on that Florida coast recently I never asked
why; only just "Wow!" Nyad had failed in that same attempt - a
swim from Cuba to Florida - four times previously. That 110-mile swim is
something one doesn't take for granted. It is an inspiration to many; if
a sexagenarian can be persistent, and achieve her goal, so can we.
As one ages the incentive and
effort required to continue exercising tends to diminish. Many thought
that my late friend, Jack LaLanne was crazy to perform physically as he
did; he would be ninety-nine tomorrow, but left us at ninety-six! His
wife, Elaine, carries on his fitness mantra today. This writer is an
admirer of the LaLanne's efforts and determination as I am of Nyad's.
Keeping your body healthy with
the anticipation of living a longer life sure seems like a good idea; yet
how do you keep the music playing, how do you make it last, how do you
keep it from fading too fast? Physical exercise on a regular basis is a
good plan. Does that mean every day? Not necessarily, but setting a
self-imposed schedule, then keeping that commitment to oneself, would be
a good start. But wait, "I don't have the time!" you say. Time?
That's what an exercise plan
can do for you, i.e., give you more time-- as in longevity! Your
spirit is the determining factor, as it was for Nyad and the Lalannes. As
I learned long ago, it's Mens Sana In Corpore Sano! For
great inspiration and better information, pick up my colleague
Tara Rayburn's just released book "100 Easy Healthy
Habits".
Will you keep up your spirit
so your body will do so as well?
