1. I would characterize my overall level of physical fitness as:

a. Great. I’m totally buff.
b. Good. I can do the stationary bike roughly as long as it take to watch a Talk Radio rerun on my gym’s cable system.
c. Okay. I could probably do a few crunches if you really insisted.
d. Poor. The mere sight of a treadmill gives me chest pains and a weird tingling feeling in my extremities.
