Intention and Fitness Part 2

In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and
Robby continue their discussion about the concept of intention
and its relationship with fitness.


They ask new questions about the connection between the two like:
-What should the intentions of the fitness coach be?


-What role intention plays in determining dose response to a
workout?


-How can a coach access a client's true intentions?


-What role does the virtue of patience play in helping a coach
shift a client’s intentions over time?


-What are the intentions within nutrition coaching?


-What are the intentions within the functional health space?


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.
