Dogmatism and Fitness Part I

In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and
Robby turn their attention to the concept of the dogmatism and
its relationship with fitness. They ask and attempt to answer the
following questions in the episode:


-What is dogmatism


-Why is dogmatism bad?


-How to avoid dogmatism


-Examples of dogmatism in the fitness world


-Ways to minimize dogmatism in the fitness world


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
