Cool, these are some good examples. I'd say though that they're more examples of moderate fitness (someone who regularly exercises should be able to do all that, I think? I mean, I do basically no exercise but can go up five floors being maybe a little out of breath, but not 'winded'. depends on the pace, I guess?), rather than what the article talks about.
