'FIT'NESS

I know a person that teaches a class at the 2 different gym locations. To look at her one would not conclude that she was anywhere near fit enough to actually teach a class. She's what one would not only classify as a 'big boned' individual but she also has a wide middle with stomach rolls.

But that got me thinking about what is fit? Does fit mean a muscular, athletic build? Or does fitness come in all shapes and sizes??

  1. I don't think that fit means muscular or athletic build but, I don't think it means slim either. You could be muscular from lifting weights but can't catch your breath after running a mile. The same with a very thin person. You can have meat on your bones and be fit just as you can have meat on your bones and be unhealthy. I think it all depends on your definition of fit. I see fit as having stamina and being able to compete athletically. You can be very thin, muscular, or big boned and meet those standards.
