Physically fit.
Contexto cultural
Being 'i form' is almost a moral requirement for the 'søndagstur'. If you aren't fit, you might feel socially excluded from the weekend mountain trips. Similar to Norway, Swedes value 'motion' (exercise). They use 'i form' or 'vältränad'. In the US, 'being in shape' often has a stronger focus on aesthetics (looking fit) compared to the Norwegian focus on functional endurance. Health is often discussed in terms of 'genki' (energy/spirit). Being 'i form' in a Norwegian sense is more specific to physical training.
