Manage episode 321465972 series 2986260
In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and Robby turn their attention to the concept of experience and its relationship with fitness. They ask and attempt to answer the following questions in the episode:
-What is experience?
-Does everything we know ultimately come from experience?
-How central are experiences to the fitness journey of an individual?
-What kinds of fitness experiences should a fitness coach have in order to properly educate and coach a fitness client?
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.
