Wholistic Fitness

Dear Coach-

Another leap (or pedal) forward on my Wholistic Fitness path;

Just finished my first cardio commute to work at my midtown office. A

wonderful ride – down the Hudson River bikeway to 96th Street, over to

Central Park, and down the length of the park to my doorstep. Total

elapsed time: 48 minutes, the same as it would have taken me on the

subway. Energy boost: enormous, unlike the subway, which can be an energy

drain.

Thank you-

Allan

Student Allan –

welcome to Urban Warriorism..

Wholistic Fitness warriors are warriors without weapons,

we attempt to change the world

by changing our negative and slothful tendencies and habits.

congratulations on your bicycle instead of car commuting.

make NO mistake about this:

in your self propelled effort there is great beauty

and inner power.

in your weaponless warriorism

i – for one – find greater faith

in all humanity.

thank you for choosing to be brave.

now,

pace yourself.

Warriorism requires a lifetime

of inner workouts

expressed through outer ones.

so enjoy your ride

without pride

just

feel the Grace

of

your

breath

flowing through.

i bow to you…my Friend on the Noble Path,

coach ilg
