Reality and Fitness

Reality is one of the central concepts in philosophy.


In fact, one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy is,
"What is real?".


Philosophers are very frequently trying to distinguish appearance
from reality.


Fitness provides one of the most direct forms of access to the
external world/reality in terms of directly sensing the world
around us.


Fitness can also provide a direct "reality-check" to what we
believe to be true about of ourselves in terms of our physical
capabilities. That "reality-check" can serve as an inspiration to
get better.


In this episode James and Robby ask, and attempt to answer the
following questions.


What is reality?


How does reality "hit" or "push back" against what we believe to
be true?


Is fitness and physical expression one of the best ways of
gaining access to reality?


What lessons do we learn as people from confronting physical
realities like "I can't do a pull-up" or "I can't a mile? Can
these be sources of motivation and inspiration?


In a world on the brink of augmented and virtual reality
encroaching on the fitness world, what does it mean to engage in
"real" fitness?
