Ep. 147 - Fitness Philosophy After Hours

Bethany needs advice. She can no longer rely on her body to take care of itself, and recognizes the importance of fitness as she is getting older, but she hates it and finds nothing rewarding about it. What, then, is she to do? Aaron and Jp both speak about their motivation behind wanting to stay fit, including a psychological complex and the desire to simply not make noises when you get up from a chair. We then discuss whether or not remaining fit is a moral imperative, the importance of appropriately situating fitness within the context of one's life, the desire to "escape" the body experiencing pain, and the gendering process. Finally, might being fit promote both one's own agency and the agency of their companions? If fitness promotes co-agency, must we admit it as imperative?
