What is your controversial opinion on Fitness?

The people I see running are people who are physiologically built for running, particularly the distance runners. Ditto for people who ride bicycles, swim, do cross fit, etc. The form of exercise invariably chooses the person rather than the other way around. Those who excel will generally be the ones whose physical make up “fits” the exercise best. It is not a matter of mental toughness or preparation or anything else: running likes runners, swimming likes swimmers, and strength training likes strong people.

What about you?

Mind > Matter.
I went from barely running a 2K to a sub one hour 10K.

I agree partially but disagree when you say it’s not a matter of mental toughness. It most definitely is. Unless you’re looking to be elite, then genes don’t matter being an everyday runner/cyclist.

Those long stretches of nothing where you have to keep pushing is where you need this most. Being consistent and persistently pushing your mind when it tells you no, is what will make you succeed no matter what shape/gene you have.

Agreed, certain genetics and body types make for better athletes of a certain kind. Tall people and basketball for example (tall people in general are good at most athletics i guess).

Mine is that there's no golden rule that works for everyone. Every body type is different.

I know a gujju aunty in my society whose blood sugar is 600-650+. She technically shouldn't be alive at this point and should have had multiple complications by now. But she's still quite healthy and fit all things considered.
