Health and Fitness Word Association

I just finished doing a podcast about the definition of health and how this word doesn’t mean anything until you give it some meaning and values. You can listen here –> Your Definition of Healthy

Today we’re going to do a word association game. I’m going to write some of the more popular and relatively ambiguous terms in the health and fitness industry and I want you to answer with ONE word that comes to mind for each word in the list below.

But only ONE word each, so be honest and pick the one word that really comes to mind for you. If you write two words for any of them I’m going to delete your comment entirely.

List your answers in numerical order in the comments section. Write your words down before you look through the comments to avoid having other people’s answers influence yours.

Here’s the list:

1 – Health

2 – Fitness

3 – Fat

4 – Food

5 – Diet

6 – Sugar

7 – Obese

8 – Skinny

9 – Eating

10 – Muscle

    “Obese – Disease”

    I suppose that was one of many words that came to mind. But as you’ve stated in previous posts, obesity is correlated with death. One of the first words that resulted on thesaurus.com, was “corpulent”, which I associate with “corpse”. There’s nothing positive about being obese. It’s a sickness and it scares the shit out of me quite frankly .
