Independence and Fitness

As Alasdair MacIntyre famously said, human beings are dependent rational animals.The "dependent" part is significant.We often fail to see how dependent we are on basic things like food, water, oxygen, social structure, etc.We often crave independence from certain things, but the truth is that at a very deep and fundamental humans are dependent beings.In this episode, where we focus on independence, James and Robby discuss the concept of independence and its relationship with fitness.They ask and attempt to answer the following questions-what is independence?-how much independence are we really capable of as humans? -with regard to fitness are we more independent if we don't utilize are coach or personal trainer?-are we more independent beings if we don't rely on fitness apps and equipment? -is the highest order goal of fitness independence/autonomy?If you like the show, please leave us a review.
