What is Fitness (Revisited)? Part 1 1:54:23

26 hari yang lalu1:54:23

1:54:23

In this episode, James and Robby revisit the question that started it all: What is fitness? Their discuss and debate the 7 main theses about fitness listed below Thesis 1: Defining fitness in the abstract is not that difficult. The real or the major question relates to how we implement fitness today Thesis 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 world Thesis 4: The environment of hyperabundance is not going away, and it’s only increasing Thesis 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 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 world…

Inspiration and Fitness 1:54:29

1:54:29

In this episode, James and Robby dive deep into the connection between fitness and inspiration. Inspiration is defined as the excitement of the mind or emotions, driving individuals from apathy to possibility and awakening new opportunities. It transcends ordinary experiences and fuels creativity, intrinsic motivation, and a deeper sense of purpose. The discussion focuses on three core characteristics of inspiration: evocation (spontaneous arousal), transcendence (expanding possibilities), and approach motivation (the drive to bring inspired ideas to life). Inspired people are often more open to new experiences, deeply engaged in their tasks, and motivated from within. Inspiration is linked to spirituality and meaning, often triggered by external sources like nature or other people. The podcast then shifts to the role of inspiration in fitness. It critiques the unrealistic standards set by figures like LeBron James and Tom Brady, which may not be sustainable for most people. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of drawing inspiration from long-term, achievable fitness goals, highlighting the need for inspiration in today’s environment, where physical activity is no longer required. The episode concludes by reflecting on the role of inspiration in fitness, urging a shift toward authentic, empowering stories over superficial trends. If you like the show, please leave us a review.

Needs, Wants, and Fitness 2:07:05

2:07:05

In this episode, we dive into the complex relationship between needs and wants , especially in the context of fitness and health. By exploring various philosophical perspectives, we examine how "need" can mean different things—from survival necessities to living an optimal life. Drawing from Kantian ethics, we pose the thought-provoking idea that a life focused only on needs is empty, while a life centered solely on wants is blind. We also explore the tension between biological needs and desires, discussing how lower-order wants (like junk food or laziness) clash with higher-order needs (such as genuine relaxation and social connection). Using insights from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Maslow’s hierarchy, we consider how balancing both needs and wants is crucial for a fulfilling life—especially in the modern world, where survival no longer demands physical exertion but emotional and psychological fulfillment still does.…

Equality and Fitness Part 2 1:57:37

1:57:37

In this Part 2, James and Robby continue their discussion about the connection between equality and fitness. They discuss issues and questions like the following: -Biology is inherently unfair and unequal. For example: · A biological man could have a child at age 60 or 70 (not ideal but possible) should he choose where the that is not a possibility for biological women · A biological male cannot get pregnant or give birth to a child · A biological male has more absolute strength potential than a biological female Should we change or alter things in society to accommodate these facts? If we gain the ability, perhaps in the next 100 years, should we CRISPR to change our underlying biology (e.g., women and men have the same time to have kids) Is the fact that we can’t change our biology based on current social mores a bad thing? How should we try to remedy the fact that there is both unequal access to fitness and unequal knowledge of what needs to be done to live a fit and healthy life? What should we do in response to the fact physical fitness is not equal? (For example, someone who is 6'6 will be much better naturally at swimming, rowing, and basketball for example) If you like the show, please leave us a review. They really do help.

Tolerance and Fitness 2:05:24

2:05:24

In this episode James and Robby discuss the connection between the concept of tolerance and fitness. At base level, tolerance is defined as: showing willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behaviors that one does not necessarily agree with So, how does this relate to fitness/health? There are so many fitness and nutrition fads, cleanses and programs that are money making-schemes, false or outright harmful. What are our responsibilities as fitness professionals to tolerate things with which we disagree? For example, say a fitness client wants to do a 1000 calorie a day diet, but you know that would be harmful. Should you "tolerate" them doing it to let them learn their lesson about how 1000 calories a day is not the right approach long-term? Should we tolerate the existence of fast food, candy bars, and soda even though we know they are objectively bad for our health? Is there a higher good to tolerating fitness practices you disagree with to allow for a variety and diversity of ways of approaching fitness and health? What sorts of actions can and should we take against things we disagree with in the health and fitness realms? Take pickeball and ebikes for example. If we think these are true examples of the erosion of physical fitness how best to we go about combatting them while still tolerating their existence legally?

Ignorance and Fitness Part 2 1:55:00

1:55:00

In this episode, James and Robby continue their discussion regarding the connection between ignorance and fitness. In philosophy there is a very antagonistic relationship to ignorance. Philosophy (and science) are attempts in many ways eradicate as much ignorance as possible for as many people as possible Different philosophical takes on ignorance include -The unexamined life is not worth living (Socrates) -Neither is the examined one (MacIntyre-in response to Socrates) -Better to be Socrates unsatisfied than an (ignorant) pig satisfied (Mill) -“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.” - Charles Darwin But when it comes to fitness one has to ask what role ignorance should or should not play in it? James and Robby ask and attempt to answer the following questions. Does one need to have special knowledge (e.g., exercise science) to engage in fitness practices? Can someone legitimately claim ignorance today about the factors that lead to optimal health and fitness today? How does the claim that the unexamined life is not worth living apply to the life of fitness in particular? How can/should ignorance be combatted in the modern world when it comes to fitness and health? What responsibility do we have as fitness individuals to educate ourselves (eliminate ignorance) about proper fitness and health practices when those things are no longer our birthright?…

Humility and Fitness 2:03:11

2:03:11

In this episode James and Robby explore the connection between humility and fitness. Humility is an admission of one's own limitations. Fitness, by its very nature involves encountering one's own limitations in the physical world. For example if someone can't do a pull-up or run 3 miles continuously that typically involves them eating a slice of humble-pie, in a good way. In this episode they ask and try to answer the following questions about humility and its connection with fitness. -Is fitness a means of achieving or furthering the virtue of humility in one’s own life? -How does fitness teach humility? -What are similarities and differences between physical humility (humility about one’s own physical capabilities) and intellectual humility? - Every profession has its own share of arrogant jerks, but where does the fitness industry as a whole sit on the continuum of humility? -How has social media and its gigantic intersection with fitness in the past 13 years affected the humility of fitness individuals and fitness coaches?

Death and Fitness 1:53:25

1:53:25

How should the fact that we all die at some point inform our fitness journey? That is the central question of this episode. There's almost a paradox when think of fitness and it's relation to death On the one hand, ·for many who engage in health and fitness activities it involves a deep acknowledgement of the fundamental reality of the inevitability of death. And yet, on the other hand, ·engaging in health and fitness activities ultimately involves trying to resist or delay death by any natural means possible. In this episode, James and Robby discuss the following questions: Is it wrong, problematic, irrational for us to engage in physical activities that actively work against longevity/sustainability and/or bring us closer to death sooner? (e.g., olympic lifting, powerlifting, etc.) How should the fact we all die one day inform our fitness journey? If technology ends up extending our lifespan another 50, 100, 200 years, how does that impact our health and fitness journeys? If you like the show, please leave us a review. They really do help.

What do we owe the future of fitness? 2:02:45

In this episode James and Robby discuss the question, "what do we owe the future?" and how does this relate to health and fitness? When it comes to general life we want to leave people in the future with: -a better overall world than the one we had -a habitable planet -an easier life (to a certain extent) But when it comes to fitness and health unique questions arise when we ask "what do we owe the future" like: -do we have a moral duty as a society to get rid of processed and junk foods? -do we have a duty to not let life get to easy so we still have a connection fitness and our biology? -how should schools and society be set up to best promote health and fitness for generations to come?

Last of the Humans and Fitness 2:12:51

34 weeks yang lalu2:12:51

2:12:51

There's a very real possibility that in the next 100 years what it means to be human will fundamentally change because of AI and robotics. Yes, what it means to be human has changed throughout history but in terms of our basic biology it's been essentially the same for 10s of thousands of years. Now it is poised to change significantly in the coming couple of centuries. Biology is central to our health and fitness practices, so it stands to reason that if our biology changes our health and fitness outlook will change. In this episode James and Robby explore the following questions related to this idea of "the last of the humans". As we see it there are four main possible scenarios that humans will encounter in the next two centuries each with it's own unique implications for health and fitness. Option #1: Complete Extinction: -No biological human beings exist anymore. Think Terminator, only no humans are left at all. Option #2: Human Beings Coexist with Machines: -Genuine biological human beings coexist with “inorganic minds” (Think Star Trek, Halo, the Matrix, Blade Runner etc.) Option #3: Human Beings merge with machines but still exist in a physical form Think the Borg from Star Trek, Cable from X-Men, or Elon Musk’s Neuralink. Here there is still a physical human that has merged with some form of technology. Option #4: Superintelligence Think Joaquin Phoenix’s “Her” (sort of-humans still exist in that one). The idea here is biological humans are gone and our consciousness is purely digital 0s and 1s. There’s no “friction” with the physical world anymore. Immortality and freedom from “dependence on the body” has been achieved. Obviously, every single one of these is a massive change from the world as we know it today.

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?

Does it depend on the context? -is dependence binary or does it exist on a spectrum? -have we become too dependent in fitness on coaches, apps, programs, etc.? -what are appropriate forms of dependence in the health and wellness space? For example many of us depend on refrigeration, grocery stores, and appliances to make and eat healthy food? -is the highest order goal of fitness independence/autonomy?

Defenders of the Faith and Fitness 1:43:16

1 year yang lalu1:43:16

1:43:16

In this episode, James and Robby explore the connection between the philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre, and more specifically his book "After Virtue", and its connection with fitness. In his book "After Virtue" MacIntyre asks us to imagine there was some sort of catastrophe by which all of our scientific knowledge came to be destroyed. Eventually enlightened people try to restore that knowledge but all they have are fragments of the past. For example they know objects near the surface of the Earth fall at 9.8m/s2 but they don’t know the why behind it (gravity) MacIntyre argues that we are in exactly this situation with regard to the language of morality these days. In this situation what we call modern morality or ethics is divorced from the original intention of morality where the idea was to achieve the highest good one could in this life through being virtuous. How does this connect to fitness? We're actually in a very similar situation with regard to fitness knowledge currently. All we have is fragments of "cardio", "strength", or "vegetables contain fiber" without an overarching framework to unite all those pieces. Although in this case of fitness this overarching framework to unite everything, namely evolutionary biology, does exist few people recognize and follow through with the true implications of it. MacIntyre also argues that the way forward in this type of world for morality is small monastic communities that are "defenders of the faith" so to speak. Similarly with fitness there are small enclaves of people who fight for the "vitality" model of fitness and use evolutionary biology to guide it. If you like the show, please leave us a review.
