Why is fitness important? . ⚡️Our perception of the physical world is influenced by our capability within in.⚡️ . As you become more physically capable, your view of the world changes. . Physically capable individuals can more likely assess challenges with greater accuracy. . ✅A good swimmer will estimate an underwater swim to be shorter. ✅A fit hiker will more accurately estimate the steepness of a hill, or more accurately assess the weight of a challenging object they need to move. . If you’re less capable, everything around you looks more daunting. New challenges are more discouraging. Trails look longer and steeper. Society looks more sickly and scary- and your ability to operate within it, more difficult. . If you’re just starting out with training or coming back from a long layoff, this is part of what makes it so challenging; things aren’t more physically difficult, they literally “look” more discouraging. . As you become more fit and your confidence grows, your mind directly alters the way you see your world, like a funhouse mirror altering perception of reality as you move from one room to another. . We always have room at the table for those that are hungry. Join us. . 📸: @brayshawcreative
