Athletic? No
Well build? I'd say yes. I work physically for 4 years.

My stamina kinda sucks, I admit, but if it comes to terms of physical strength, I can say I'm not bad. But all this thanks to my work, if I wouldn't have this job, I'd be fat and very weak no-life.

I'm strong, but not really athletic lol, the most I do is either walk or ride my bike, but I can do so for a long time, so I guess I have decent stamina.
But what I find myself most doing is sitting at my computer lol

Lord, no. I've always enjoyed walking (and swimming when I was younger) but I've never been keen on anything remotely resembling strenuous physical activity. My physical health right now would prevent me from becoming athletic anyway...I'd likely collapse within the first five minutes of exercising. Unfortunately, that isn't an exaggeration either: I get winde almost instantly if I do anything other than walk.

"Exercise" is a dirty word in this house, so it runs in the family, although my father is fairly fit because his job requires him to be.

I don't have much upper body strength and will lose a fight to practically anyone or anything but I can run pretty well. I've been in the athletics team (which I guess is our version of the "track team"?) for a few years but I must admit, I've been slipping away the past few months with exams and sloth >~<

I used to be super athletic as a child but then really slacked off when I got to secondary school (being the kind of student that was always picked last for teams lol).
When I started university, though, I joined the kendo club there and got back on track a bit :> just had a break from kendo practise for about half a year because of my year abroad but am determined to get back into it! Might join the gym, too, for some extra exercise, but I'll see how that goes

When it comes to sport I've always been far from the best, but thankfully I've never been the worst either (and actually I was pretty decent at high jump/long jump cause long legs).

These days I wouldn't really fit the standard definition of being "athletic" but because of my dancing work/hobby I'm extremely fit and much stronger physically than I appear. So I guess I'm somewhat athletic even though I don't look it?

I may look like I'm unfit, but I'm actually a pretty good runner. Comes in handy when I need to hold up a bus so that it doesn't go without my mother, because she's really slow and has to often rely on me for stuff these days.

I don't ever recall a time when I was athletic in any manner.

I mean, I guess I was decent at sports in school...some sports...nowhere near good enough to do them on any sort of serious level though.
Was just never my thing.

Im not very athletic, but I can be somewhat fast in short bursts. I dont have much stamina or endurance at all. I try to run 2 miles every day after school, but Im not very fast. I just do it to stay somewhat in shape. I am naturally strong and I bet if I lifted weights I would actually be built. Im tall and big, but not like fat.

hell yea im very athletic even though the last time i did an organized team sport was like 2 years ago

I still maintain a certain degree of athleticism because well sports are fun and I enjoy doing them as a hobby or something to keep me active so if you tryna get dunked on in a game of 21 just let me know the time and place

When I think of athletic I think of being good at sports or gymnastics. I'd say I'm athletic but not REALLY athletic. I can run kinda fast, do cartwheels pretty well and I can play a couple sports semi-competitively. I can do some pushups and crunches, but I'm also computer addicted, especially after completing highschool. I still try to get at least a half hour of exercise a day though and I generally eat very healthy and that probably contributes a bit to my athleticism.

Nope. I'm probably in the best shape I've been in since I left high school, because I walk to work and back and I push around a cart with stock on it sometimes. But I still can't run well or lift anything heavy above my shoulders. Just don't have that much strength or stamina.

I'm a lazy person. I'd be in far worse shape if I didn't have a slightly physically demanding job and a car.

I used to be in a couple sports I was in high school, but after that nope not that athletic. I'm quite small but my stamina isn't too great. I went hiking when I visited Oregon last year but only made it to a mile or two while my younger sister was able to go much further haha.

I did marching band and tennis in high school. Not that they're extremely taxing by themselves, but I handled them pretty well. I have really good endurance when I work on it, but my strength is just awful. At my best, I could bench press one hundred pounds, so there's an idea for you. However, I could squat over two hundred pounds, which isn't bad.

I'm athletic when I want to be, so most of the time I'm not. But it doesn't take long for me to get back into the swing of things.

Not even a little. I've always been very tall, so even as I kid I got asked if I played basketball quite a bit. I enjoy some physical activities like hiking and biking, but I've never been the athletic type.
