October 30 – athletic

☆  athletic 筋骨隆々の

============================

An athletic person is fit, and able to perform energetic movements easily. Would you describe yourself as athletic? Obviously professional sports people are athletic and look fit and healthy. However, it’s common to describe general people who are not athletes as athletic. For example:

She is tall, with an athletic build.
He is almost 60 years old, but he’s so athletic that he looks a lot younger.
Both of them are very athletic.
His athletic career was over very quickly, unfortunately.

So, my original question, would you describe yourself as athletic? Me? Maybe… I am training for a marathon, so maybe a little bit athletic!
