What is Fitness? (Revisited) Part 3

In this episode, which is part 3 of a 3 part series, James and
Robby revisit the question that started it all: What is fitness?


They discuss and debate the 7 main theses about fitness listed
below


Thesis 1: Defining fitness in the abstract is not that difficult.
The real or the major question relates to how we implement
fitness today


Thesis 2: Fitness is not just solely a means to an end (like
money) nor is it a pure end in itself (like happiness)


Thesis 3: The environment is the central determining factor in
the participation of the fitness, and this has massive
implications for what we should do going forward in the present
day world


Thesis 4: The environment of hyperabundance is not going away,
and it’s only increasing


Thesis 5: The principles of fitness need to reinterpreted in
every age and era, including ours, in a way that makes them
accessible in our actual lived situation.


Thesis 6: While certain forms of fitness as practiced today could
be considered folly, there are plenty of forms of fitness today
that are not folly. Furthermore, this may be the very first time
in human history that the choice to engage in fitness involves
any sort of virtue.


·Thesis 7: Fitness is necessary but not sufficient for an optimal
life, especially in the modern world
