One of the more prevalent fitness questions I get asked is how I manage to maintain the “Ass that Doesn’t Quit.” A lot of it is just plain good genetics, but a big part of it is that I almost always take the stairs.
Usually I don’t mind the stairs, a lot of the time I’ll run up them just for fun. However, sometimes enough is enough. At work, there are 3 flights (no elevator) between me and the rest of the offices. This can have its perks - I can pretty much hide away and not be bothered for 90% of the day, which means I get a lot done. However it’s painful when it comes time to make photocopies or grab lunch.
So to make my life a little easier, I figure I need to be gifted with a portable fridge for my desk! This one can even plug into the lighter socket in the car to keep my beer chilled on long road-trips and maximize the drinking & driving experience!
Of course, that means I’ll have to find some other supplemental gluteal exercise - but that’s the kind of sacrifice I’m willing to make if you really need to buy me this present!

That may be the *least* prevalent fitness question I’ve ever been asked.

I live on the 26th floor. I simply would die if I took the stairs every day.
