The only example I've heard so far, doing pushups, sounds very relevant to me. I think it is important for a firefighter to be able to pick up someone overcome by smoke and carry them out. Or to use an axe and break down a door when searching for victims, etc. -- Gertrude Stein about Oakland, California: "There is no There there."
