What I Am Listening To

At the suggestion of David Goggins in his book Can’t Hurt Me, I started listening to the Rocky soundtrack while working out. I can recall walking out of a Manchester, NH movie theater in 1977 after watching this movie, believing that I was going to turn my 7 year old self into the next world championship boxer. What really propelled me into this fantasy was the music I heard during the movie. The theme is obvious - uplifting, glorious, triumphant. But the gems are tracks such as The Final Bell and Going the Distance. The power and energy they convey is unstoppable, which as a workout track makes you believe that you are unstoppable as well.
