Are we making fitness more complicated than it needs to be? This week’s Friday Truth looks at an idea from coach Ben Bergeron: fitness is a spectrum, and the goal isn’t just to be fit enough for the job. It’s to build enough physical capacity to keep doing the things that matter to us as we get older. Being strong, mobile and capable today is great, but being able to climb the stairs, carry the groceries, and get off the floor 20 or 30 years from now might be even more important.
What if we build enough capacity throughout our lives that we remain formidable for as long as we can?
