Being thin is being fit, and it looks way less gross.You said muscled, having muscles is a requirement for being fit. Are we using thin/skinny, and buff/muscular interchangeably? If so, that's kinda dumb.Uh, no. Not at all. You don't need muscles to be fit. If you're thin, you're fit.And yeah....they're synonyms....They're not synonyms at all. Being "Thin" speaks very little about your actual athletic training or your cardiovascular health.

You can be fit without being buff. Being thin is being fit, and it looks way less gross.

Isn't nothing worthwhile to you, though?

Being fit just means you're not out of shape.

I don't think you have a typical definition of "In-shape," then. That phrase, in all of my training and athletic activities, has always been used in reference to athletic capacity, not a person's body type.
The heart is a muscle.

No. Building shit for other people to use is worthwhile. Helping other people is worthwhile. Impressing other people by building yourself? That's not worthwhile. You're not actually doing anything.

Exercising can help increase your capacity to help others too, though :^)

Your whole argument is "can't be fit if you don't have muscles"
If you're a construction worker it's important.
If working out improved my social adeptness, allowed me to form a broader range of bonds with a more diverse group of people, and improved my communications skills (Which it did in all three manners for me)

That's my argument. Strength training is a placebo.
man you guys are getting really worked up about this
Quote from: Carsonogen on September 15, 2015, 11:01:23 PMYou're the one who's using it in relation to body type.And, for the record, I think you're the odd man out here. I've honestly never once heard physical appearance alone equated to the phrase "In-shape." And I've grown very accustomed to athletic and fitness jargon. It is always used in the context of athletic capabilities.

Standing outside this issue as well, whether or not somebody's physical appearance matters more or less than their ability to perform some task is mostly subjective.

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.
Dude, it sounds like you're only considering cardio to mean in shape, and that muscle strength is nothing. That's pretty silly.

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.

Would you rather be skinny or muscular
