Death and Fitness

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?
