Question asked by Marc D Thompson 3202 days ago

Why do you call fitness an 'art' as well as a 'science?'

Approaching fitness holistically, I believe the fusion of creativity and practicality is essential in moving each individual toward their fitness goals. Along with over 20 years of experience, my greatest strength is my ability to draw from thousands of exercises, fitness disciplines, sports psychology techniques and nutritional principals to empower each individual he trains.

Anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, biology and more all form the SCIENCE of what we as trainers do. The ART comes from understanding how and when to apply certain scientific facts, and in how to present the science in a way that is understandable and interesting to a lay-public.

Mostly because it is.
Over the many years I have trained it has been demonstrated time and again that having a degree does not automatically turn you into an intuitive , insightful , professional
You either have it or you don't!

Ah the artistic science of fitness. Constantly evolving scientifically; as well as, constantly being manipulated by the individuals making it a lifestyle as the artistry.

Any profession can be science and art. Science is the technical reality. We can't break the laws of physics or physiology. The art is the imagination necessary to see that we can sure as hell bend the bageezus out of those laws.
