Ease, Difficulty, and Fitness

Most of our life, technology, and progress is centered around the
idea of making life easier.


Think about things like Door Dash, sleeping pills, and
self-driving cars.


But a central question that comes up is: Is an easier life
necessarily a better life?


It seems that as humans we're hard-wired to need some difficulty,
challenge, or struggle to live a full and meaningful life.


In this episode James and Robby discuss the extent to which ease
and difficulty play a role in fitness and our lives in general.
They ask and attempt to answer questions like:


-In a world where things have become so "easy" that it's actually
"difficult" to lead a healthy life, how do we get back to healthy
living?


-Even if we wanted to we can't mimic the struggles of the past,
so what we should do in the modern world to have some difficulty
or challenge?


-Should the purpose of fitness be to "rake ourselves over the
coals" so to speak on a daily basis with overwhelming challenges?
