Wisdom at the gym

Henoch ("Henry") Frydman just celebrated his 100th birthday in November by hitting his local gym. He has not missed a workout there since 1977, and I don’t think he plans on disrupting his six day per week regimen any time soon. He is an inspiration to those around him, and he certainly is to me.

Henry is not seeking glory, trophies or attention. He just wants to continue to live an active and healthy life despite what the calendar tells him. I think if more people were like him, there would be a whole lot less people in this country who are stuck on their porches wistfully thinking about the vigor of their youth.

You can read more about him here. The lesson is that fitness is a state of mind as well as a sense of commitment. What have you done today that would inspire Henry?
