Being in shape is a bit of a misleading term. It sounds like it refers to the literal shape of your body, but it doesn’t. You can look amazing because you’re blessed with great genes or an impeccable metabolism, but you can still be out of shape. You know who you are: you love to shop because you look good in everything, but you hate going to the doctor because your answers to the questions, “How often do you exercise?” and “Are you active?” are embarrassing. But the human body was designed to be pretty active. Don’t forget that we used to hunt and forage for our own food (not to mention run away from the animals that hunted us). If we lead a stagnant life, our body tells on us in some rather funny ways. Here are hilarious and true signs you’re out of shape.

But you won’t take the stairs for over two flights

But let’s be real, you won’t take the stairs for over two flights. As far as you’re concerned, it’s worth waiting 10 minutes for an elevator in a very busy building rather than climbing three flights of stairs.
