Everyone has their own idea of what it means to be fit?
What does it mean to you to be fit and what are you doing to achieve your goals?
 
1) <20% body fat
2) Not pull a muscle doing anything ordinary
3) Being strong enough to do whatever you want (within reason)
4) Being able to do that as often as you like
 
Just being able to do things without hurting yourself.

Yesterday I needed to jack up part of my house to pack the piers underneath it.

That meant picking up a 60kg jack to move it through the hole in the wall.

Basically a very awkward sumo deadlift with some maneuvering involved.

I'm not enormously strong, but I don't think that most people would be able to safely lift that, especially in an awkward environment.

LOL.........Love it, would also be good to speak on the phone without the arm going numb and brush teeth without getting arm pump.

To answer Admins questions:
1. To sustain elevated heart rate for more than 60 seconds and not passing out.
2. Nothing
 
Being able to save myself and a damsel in distress from the tribe of hungry cannibals populating the otherwise paradise-like island we're stranded on after an unfortunate plane crash/ship wreck.

You need to move to level 2. 'who needs a jack - deadlift the house!'

Maintaining a good degree of functional strength, fitness and flexibilty to make daily life that much easier. It's the main reason my training has shifted away from heaps of weight training and more into cardio and HIIT training that incorporated dynamic body movements. And yoga twice a week.
 
Had an argument with some dude on another forum years ago pre cross-fit him saying chin-ups aren't functional as when do you even pull yourself up from a cliff that way.

Hello, kipping is born.
