Even the ancient Romans knew that physical fitness is something to be desired: `mens sana in corpore sano`, as Juvenal declared. Nowadays, the number of training programs being put forward would seem to indicate that a large amount of mental effort is being dedicated to working out how other people should `work out`. Maybe this isn`t quite what Juvenal had in mind, but there is something to be said for `sensible gymnastics` -if nothing else, at least a good training program can help to improve physical fitness with a minimum of effort. Apparently, in our highly efficient society, this is a desirable goal.
