Does modern technology help us in our quest to get fit and healthy? Or is technology a distraction from time-honored principles of eating healthy, moving your body, getting enough sleep, etc.? In a continuation of our discussion from Technology and Fitness Part 1 we ask and try to answer the following questions -Has technology had an overall positive or overall negative influence on the practice of fitness? -How do we educate people that just because a device spits out a particular number (for example, total calories burned) that may be completely inaccurate and untrustworthy? -What are the privacy implications of gigantic tech corporations knowing everything about our sleep patterns, heart rate, stress level, eating habits, fitness practices, etc.? 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.About the Hosts:James FitzGerald is the founder and owner of OPEX Fitness, and he was the first-ever men's CrossFit® Games champion in 2007.
