Your Weight or Your Fate?

I can't believe I missed this one, but evidently there's a new show on Discovery called Fit to Live. The premise being, are you in good enough shape to save your own ass?

The show's host, Dr. Pamela Peeke, is the author of a book of the same name. Her theory, one with which I agree, is that fitness shouldn't be all show and no go. Conditioning should be practical and functional - can you save yourself from a burning building, pull yourself from a wrecked car, escape a flash flood, or outrun zombies (ok, that last one is mine.)

The show is abit like "Fear Factor" combined with "The Biggest Loser", where reality contestants try to complete fitness challenges that contain a variety of obstacles within a preset time limit.

The show originally aired in January, but rebroadcasts this weekend, February 9th, at 5 pm. I already read how the contestants fared, but I won't give away the ending.
