Humility and Fitness

Fitness in Philosophy

In this episode James and Robby explore the connection between humility and fitness.

Humility is an admission of one's own limitations.

Fitness, by its very nature involves encountering one's own limitations in the physical world.

For example if someone can't do a pull-up or run 3 miles continuously that typically involves them eating a slice of humble-pie, in a good way.

In this episode they ask and try to answer the following questions about humility and its connection with fitness.

-Is fitness a means of achieving or furthering the virtue of humility in one’s own life?

-How does fitness teach humility?

-What are similarities and differences between physical humility (humility about one’s own physical capabilities) and intellectual humility?

- Every profession has its own share of arrogant jerks, but where does the fitness industry as a whole sit on the continuum of humility?

-How has social media and its gigantic intersection with fitness in the past 13 years affected the humility of fitness individuals and fitness coaches?
