Ease, Difficulty, and Fitness

Fitness in Philosophy

Most of our life, technology, and progress is centered around the idea of making life easier.

Think about things like Door Dash, sleeping pills, and self-driving cars.

But a central question that comes up is: Is an easier life necessarily a better life?

It seems that as humans we're hard-wired to need some difficulty, challenge, or struggle to live a full and meaningful life.

In this episode James and Robby discuss the extent to which ease and difficulty play a role in fitness and our lives in general. They ask and attempt to answer questions like:

-In a world where things have become so "easy" that it's actually "difficult" to lead a healthy life, how do we get back to healthy living?

-Even if we wanted to we can't mimic the struggles of the past, so what we should do in the modern world to have some difficulty or challenge?

-Should the purpose of fitness be to "rake ourselves over the coals" so to speak on a daily basis with overwhelming challenges?
