How do we view fitness in our lives? Today, there is a small, but significant population who have shirked its hobby-like status and have transformed fitness into veritable outlook on life itself. They seek to embody what writer and journalist Kunitz calls, the practicing life. But is this just another cultish byproduct of late modernity, or does being physically have deeper roots than we might expect? I recently spoke to Daniel, whose book, Lift:  Fitness Culture from Naked Greeks and Acrobats to jazzercise and Ninja Warriors, explores the social dynamics of what it means for humans to be physically fit.

How important is functional strength training with regards to health and longevity?On today’s episode, I speak with Daniel Kunitz, author of a cultural history of fitness about his book LIFT: Fitness Culture from Naked Greeks and Amazons to Jazzercise and Ninja Warriors. He writes about culture, the body, and art for a number of publications and has stood on the podium three times at the National Masters Weightlifting Championships.

Why everyone should engage in some form of stretch training regularly and how this determines health and longevity.
