I was driving to work this morning and had a thought.
Sad as I am I waas trying to define what being fit actually means.
Does being fit mean somebody who can complete a triathlon without breaking sweat, or is being fit the quickest man in the worl over 100 metres?
If I wanted to be at ultimate fitness. Does being fit apply to what you want to be fit for?

I'm currently the fittest i've ever been yet physically I don't look it!
Personally, I would go for Ironmen as the fittest.
Snap - I am far fitter now than when I was 2 stone lighter (many years ago), I just wish to be that 2 stone lighter and keep the power [:)] - how much faster would I be.
I couldn't run 1K - now I regularly run 10K, bike 100K+ and swim (still poor at this bit [:(] ) - but I was strong (rugby and yachting), therefore my aerobically fitness has vastly increased but my upper body strength has decreased. Fitness is about balance - I was too much into the strength side of the fitness, now I feel I am getting a more balanced profile. All I have to do is reduce Body Fat ......
And like you, now I am quite fit, I also think god if i was 2 stone lighter at 12.5 stone, then I would also be a flyer.

It's kind of like that scene in "American Beauty" where Kevin Spacey starts running alongside the fitter, younger guys in his neighborhood and he asks them for advice about exercise. They quiz him on his goals and what type of fitness he wants to achieve, and he responds, "I want to look good naked."
