What is Fitness? (Revisited) Part 2
In this episode, which is part 2 of a 3 part series, James and Robby revisit the question that started it all: What is fitness?They discuss and debate the 7 main theses about fitness listed belowThesis 1: Defining fitness in the abstract is not that difficult. The real or the major question relates to how we implement fitness todayThesis 2: Fitness is not just solely a means to an end (like money) nor is it a pure end in itself (like happiness)Thesis 3: The environment is the central determining factor in the participation of the fitness, and this has massive implications for what we should do going forward in the present day worldThesis 4: The environment of hyperabundance is not going away, and it’s only increasingThesis 5: The principles of fitness need to reinterpreted in every age and era, including ours, in a way that makes them accessible in our actual lived situation.Thesis 6: While certain forms of fitness as practiced today could be considered folly, there are plenty of forms of fitness today that are not folly. Furthermore, this may be the very first time in human history that the choice to engage in fitness involves any sort of virtue.·Thesis 7: Fitness is necessary but not sufficient for an optimal life, especially in the modern worldIf you like the show, please leave us a review.
