The Great Gatsby, "absolutely in training"

Question

Could you please tell me the literal and symbolic meaning of "absolutely" in the following sentence of the first chapter ofThe Great Gatsby?

“No, thanks,” said Miss Baker to the four cocktails just in from the pantry, “I'm absolutely in training.”

Thank you.

Jordan Baker is a competitive golfer. She doesn't want to drink too much because she is in training.
