Anyone else watched "Could You Survive"?

Well, I've done Search and Rescue, and the one thing I have learned is that what you do in a training scenerio and what you do in a real life situation can often be completely different. I've seen amazing acts from people I never thought could do them, when they were the only hope. If those people seriously thought a loved one (obviously a child from the size of the dummy) was in danger, they may perform much better. The body is an amazing thing and can produce strength and stamina when none existed before.

I was just in Vegas and saw the previews of that show (our dinky stations in Canada don't show the same programs). It looked cool.

It never ceases to amaze me how people remain inactive and let themselves get so out of shape. My boyfriend is naturally athletic, yet he never exercises. I always feel so sluggish if I don't swim, jog or ride my bike. Anything to keep moving, actually.

I'd love to try a challenge like that. They always seem easy until you try it.

It's on again tomorrow morning at 9:00am, est. I just set Tivo for a season pass for it -- Wildfire and Earthquake air next week. Thanks!

I'd really like to try them too--it would be interesting to see if I would do as well as I think or if they turn out to be a lot harder than they seem.

I haven't seen the show, but one reason why I started adding lifting weights into my regular routine was because I realized one day that I wouldn't be able to keep up with my son or, worse, get him out of the top bunk where he sleeps if there were a fire or some other emergency. He's autistic and wouldn't really be able to save himself (physically capable, but wouldn't understand what was going on or what to do). Realizing that he's not getting any smaller so I'd have to get stronger was a big motivation to get and stay in shape!
