10 - How Do We Define Fitness w/ Dr. Bo Babenko of Fitcare Physio: Part 1

Do you have the capacity to move through work, life and play or run from  zombies without suffering injury or death?

As a Physical Therapist, Strength and Conditioning Coach and educator, I find it uber important to be clear with our terminology when speaking to clients about training, workouts, programing, etc.

Defining “fitness” is no exception. If we are teaching our clients to be “fit” without explaining the “what”, “why”, “how” and“when”, then we are no better than  the majority of other folks out our there, throwing this word around like "mobility" and "cardio".

However, if we create solid standards to define fitness, than we will not only be able to have a more productive conversation with our clients, but can now also measure  fitness levels and prescribe the right client-specific program targeting the client's  full fitness potential. These standards would apply to the athlete, musician, performing artist, construction worker --- anyone who is breathing.

My friend and colleague,  Dr. Bo Babenko and I do our best to simplify, quantify and qualify a working definition of "fitness" so our clients (and you) can apply  this new knowledge and understanding  to improve their health, well-being and overall survival rate!
