With fitness myths and fad diets designed to help women lose weight, and perpetuating the age-old belief that being fit means being thin, it is easy to forget that there is no such thing as a “perfect” size. Being physically fit has more to do with athletic capability than with looking a certain way.

To put things into perspective: An Olympic gymnast is probably going to be physically smaller than an Olympic weightlifter – but they’re both fit, as evidenced by the fact that they’ve managed to qualify for the Olympics.

Blasting all unrealistic notions of there being such a thing as a standard “perfect” body, a video by Vitamin Stree, aptly titled “Fit is Not a Body Type”, celebrates active women everywhere – age, shape, and size be damned.
