out of condition
Lacking physical fitness
Out of condition describes a state of poor physical fitness, typically from lack of exercise or training.
Someone out of condition gets winded climbing stairs or can't perform activities they once handled easily: I've been out of condition since I stopped going to the gym.
The phrase implies a decline from a previous, fitter state rather than permanent unfitness.
