Good morning.

Today's Daily Vitamin was suggested by Olga (in Barcelona). Thanks for the suggestion Olga.

It means: the visible form or outer edge of something.

However, shape has several uses and meanings and today we are going to look at a very specific meaning:

Today's meaning of shape is: the physical condition of somebody or something.

Example 1:
The car was in terrible shape after the accident.

Example 2:
He signed up for the gym in order to get in shape. However, he hasn't gone even once.

Example 3:
My grandfather is in excellent shape for his age.
