Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism.
In this powerful episode of Via Stoica, hosts Brice and Benny explore the profound connection between Stoic philosophy and physical training. Discover how ancient Roman and Greek philosophers approached bodily discipline as a pathway to mental fortitude and spiritual growth.

Delve into the Stoic perspective on exercising for the right reasons - not for vanity or social status, but for developing resilience, self-discipline, and character. Learn how Marcus Aurelius viewed physical training as a laboratory for practicing virtues and maintaining mental clarity through challenging circumstances.

Whether you're an experienced athlete or just beginning your fitness journey, this episode reveals invaluable insights into using exercise as a testing ground for Stoic practice. Explore how to maintain focus on what you can control during training, develop mental toughness through physical challenges, and approach setbacks with philosophical wisdom.

Brice and Benny break down ancient training philosophies into actionable modern practices, emphasizing the crucial mental aspects of physical development. Discover practical techniques for quieting negative self-talk during workouts, setting intentional training goals aligned with Stoic values, and using exercise as a daily opportunity for philosophical growth.

Perfect for fitness enthusiasts seeking deeper meaning in their training and Stoic practitioners looking to embody philosophy through physical practice. Join us as we explore how the forge of physical training can temper both body and mind.
Physical exercise is a bit topic among men, but what does it mean to be a man? Check out the article on our website about the Stoic Man: https://viastoica.com/what-is-the-stoic-man/. If you struggle with physical exercising and all that is involved with it, get in touch with our Stoic coaches and see how we can help.
