#25 - Fitness vs Health: What You Need To Know (The Hidden Cost to Fitness Explained by an Olympic Coach)


Listen Later

The terms being “fit” and being “healthy” are often interchangeably used in the same category describing an ideal state we should work towards if we value a strong quality of life.

However, the terms “fit” and “healthy” are actually two different states of being by definition.

Both are important to live an optimal life where people either embrace, ignore or define to various extents and measurements.

Personally I see many people achieving great measurable levels of fitness and then assume they are healthy as a byproduct. But this is very often not the case.

An example of this is where an athletes drive can push those who aren't familiar with principles of physiology to unintentionally create anxiety patterns and chronic health issues that worsen with training.

So in this episode I’m going to teach you:

  1. The truth of fitness/performance training vs a focus on health.
  2. How that shows up in your life and the true costs of performance training
  3. A powerful quick 12 point wellbeing health checklist to help you identify where you need to make specific changes.
