Well, not being fat doesn't mean you are fit, but being fat is certainly incompatible with being fit. I speak as a fat guy who's probably less unfit than 95% of people at my weight (over 320 lbs): I'm still not "fit".
- abas 17y agoI guess it depends on how fitness is defined. I would say a person can definitely have good cardiovascular fitness while being fat. They could also have strong muscles, low blood pressure, low cholesterol, normal glucose levels and generally be healthy. I would describe that as being fit. Seems like weight should be considered one indicator of fitness but not the most important one.
- SwellJoe 17y agoIs it wrong that I chuckled at this revelation that gives new meaning to your nick, "randallsquared"?
- randallsquared 17y agoHeh. People used to spontaneously call me that when I was a kid (due to my name "Randall Randall" rather than my size, I expect), and it's way easier to google for. :)
- SwellJoe 17y agomy name "Randall Randall" I'm not sure if that's cruelty or awesome on the part of your parents. I'm leaning towards awesome.
- ojbyrne 17y agoCurious if you've read Catch-22. One of my favorite characters in the book was called "Major Major" (and of course his rank was Major). At some point they managed to get a 4th one on the end too.
- randallsquared 17y agoI know about the novel, and about that character, but haven't read it (or seen the movie).
