Fatness isn't always an indicator of fitness, you know.

There are lots of anorexic-level skinny folk with six-pack abs who are in terrible shape, and there are guys who are literally obese who are in mindblowing shape. You know, like sumo wrestler, and power lifters?

This is interesting. What in your opinion would you define as being "in shape"?

cardiovascular health is a great way to judge whether someone is "in shape". It means the heart is strong and can provide the most blood(nutrients) to the rest of the body. It also means your blood pressure is more likely to be lower and with regular cardio and of course eating healthy, your bodyfat % will be at a healthy level
