Style Poll: What is an “athletic” body type anyway?

 

“Thanks for the feedback XYZ. For a fit perspective, what’s your body type?”
“Athletic!”

 

The heck does that mean though? Is it similar to how most Americans describe themselves as “middle class” even if they’re not? 1/3 of Americans who make less than $30K a year still describe themselves as Middle Class, while those on the upper end may not be jumping at the chance to label themselves as rich.

Two questions. First, an easy poll. How would you describe your body type?

And second, to the comments…

What is an “athletic” body type? How do you define it? Is it a certain height/weight ratio? Or does there need to be a certain amount of strength weight? What about body fat? Can you be carrying a bit of a gut (or even a lot of gut) and still consider your body type as “athletic”? Can person A have an athletic body type, but get winded rounding second in beer league softball? Can they have an athletic body type if they’re a rail thin marathon runner?

Leave it all in the comments below.
