There's a big difference between looking like a bodybuilder and being in shape. If you're thin, but can run around, play sports, etc, without getting winded then you're in shape. It's a general term.If you can run around, play sports, etc without getting winded in any body type, then you're in shape. If a slightly overweight person trains more vigorously to be able to run long distances, then they are more "In-shape" than a skinny person that cannot perform as optimally. "Fitness" is only controlled by physical appearance to a degree. The degree is rather large, but it leads to misconceptions.I agree completely. This is what I've been trying to say.

If you're thin, you're fit.
I feel that you're not grasping what's "thin" to me. It's not Casper-tier, it just means you're lean.

You equated a body type (Thin) with a fitness capacity (Fit), but just conceded that they were not actually equal.
I'm going to get super jacked just to make OP mad

I just said that because Assassin was all about "you have to have muscles to be fit" and I was trying to refute that. Jeez.
We should acknowledge the different definitions of being "in shape". A person can have good cardiovascular health and be weak, and someone who is strong can have poor cardiovascular health. It's rare that a person can be fit in the entirety of the spectrum because people train for different things. A powerlifter and a swimmer will have different training methods thus they'll have different levels of fitness.
