There’s no such thing as a perfect body, says a new fitness anthem, and oh yes, they’re right. Forty-six different athletes have come together in the video (above) to celebrate health and fitness, with a crucial message – being fit does not mean being thin.

Made by Vitamin Stree, the song, titled Fit is Not a Body Type – written and performed by singers Tanya Nambiar and Su Real – celebrates active and healthy women in all shapes, body sizes and ages. In the process, it also offers a sharp commentary on the cultural, social, artistic and ideological barriers that shape the life of women in modern-day India.
