The workout warriors have to realize that yoga is more an Athenian endeavor than a Spartan one. You don't win by punishing your body.

The White House staff secretary is under orders to have his briefing book for the following day in the Oval Office no later than 6 p.m. Even so, by then Bush has frequently punched out and headed back to the residence...
While Lichten says he doesn't think it would be wise to let people use free weights late at night, Illingworth envisions all-night access to workout equipment. In any case, Lichten doesn't think it would be a problem to shut off certain areas of the building if necessary...
