'get in proper shape' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'prone to drop i trained' is the wordplay.
'trained' indicates an anagram (train can mean to shape or manipulate).
'prone'+'to'+'drop'+'i'='pronetodropi'
'pronetodropi' with letters rearranged gives 'PROPORTIONED'.

'to' is the link.
