Wholistic Fitness

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future

of the human race. -H.G. Wells, writer (1866-1946)

okay, i’m thinkin’ i’m gonna HAVE to back off watching the giro d’italia on OLN.

i just cranked off the ferocious man-eating, chi chomping Tuna Canyon road cycling loop

(aka; “Ilg’s 39-mile, 5,000′ Hallowed Halls Of Hell”) in 2:16. nearly four minutes faster than

my best effort.

i don’t know what is going on with my endurance performances recently

(see DIRECT LINES: Saturday, May 15, 2004 Notes From New Mexico…Part III)

i am no longer a sponsored athlete.

i am multi business owner and yoga teacher attempting

yet another new business (The HP Yoga Studio).

though i don’t know what is UP with me,

i DO KNOW what is going THROUGH me…i TAF it can help you as well:

* HP Yoga (everyday; includes 2x weekly Prop Workout for strength training)

* Pranayama/Meditation (religiously 1 hour per day at least)

* 6 hours of Cardio per week if i am lucky

* SUNRIDER herbs…a lot. up to 3 “Ilg Supremes” per day. herbs first; rent second. i would

far rather be homeless with herbs, than homefull with no herbs.

if these four things go THROUGH you each week, i promise you world-class inward results.

but consistency is everything.

with this ‘training’ my efforts up Tuna Canyon are testing – if not tearing off – the legs of elite cyclists

many whom regularly log 20 hours per week on their bicycles.

and i ain’t even counting age differences.

i challenge myself with gruelling workouts not only because it is the

Wholistic Fitness Way…

i do it because workouts like Tuna Canyon rip my masks off

Tuna forces me naked to my doubts and mental weaknesses.

Tuna shreds the illusion-caked crud off my perceived ‘stress level’

Tuna refines my meditation and deepens the true meaning of yoga; union of body and mind.

Without the challenge of high intensity workouts

we stand no chance of knowing our Original Nature.

One must continually test oneself in the ether of High Intensity and Endurance and Strength to

accurately know and develop authenticity of self.

Driving your car to church or temple once per week is not gonna get it done for your spirit,

i hate to tell you.

You gotta get out and BREATHE baby…challenge yourself and MOVE..

for next to your Deepest Breath

stands God

smiling

proud of you…

Don’t do yoga to be happy.

Don’t commit to the SUNRIDER herbs to live longer or get leaner.

Don’t study WF in the hopes of gaining something.

Do these disciplines so as to tear off your ego mask

and run wild within your Original Nature.

jao!
