Dogmatism and Fitness Part 2

In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and
Robby continue their discussion of dogmatism and its relationship
to fitness.


They discuss the following topics in the episode:


-Examples of dogmatism in the fitness world


-Practical antidotes to dogmatism that both fitness coaches and
clients can use


-Using the burden of proof to be clear on what is and is not
dogmatic


-Why dogmatism is a type of neurosis that needs to be constantly
corrected.


The Fitness in Philosophy podcast is dedicated to discussing the
intersection between concepts in philosophy and their connection
with fitness. Each episode we talk about a particular
philosophical concept like autonomy, knowledge, virtue, truth,
etc. and discuss how that idea connects with coaching fitness,
participating in fitness as an individual, and fitness culture at
large. It is hosted by


James FitzGerald and Robby Gustin. About the Hosts: James
