This is a difficult concept for people to understand… so pay close attention.
Fitness is a compromise between a wide variety of physical abilities. Fitness is NOT the “maximization” of one physical ability at the expense of all the others.
If you want a physical training program that ensures you perform your best no matter what the challenge and develop the lean, muscular, athletic body that exemplifies all-purpose fitness… you must base your physical training program on a fitness definition derived from physical ability “optimization” and not physical ability “maximization”.
You can only achieve well rounded fitness excellence, and your best body as a result, through compromise.Optimize your ability to perform all physical abilities at any given time. Don’t maximize your ability to perform one physical ability at a specific point in time.
True physical fitness is your physical ability to perform the widest variety of tasks under the greatest diversity of circumstances. It is not maximizing one physical ability to perform one task under controlled circumstances.
We live in a world of specialization, which may be fine in other aspects of your life, but the more specialized you become in terms of fitness, the further away you get from over-all, universal fitness. Therefore, the definition of fitness from which you base your fitness program must seek to optimize performance in a wide variety of physical abilities and not just maximize specialized physical abilities.
Furthermore, optimization of multiple physical abilities will positively impact general health and develop a symmetrical, naturally athletic and aesthetically pleasing physique. And in my experience, this strong, muscular lean, athletic body is the goal of most men and women.
