This DL is a testimony to the forbearance and fun loving attitude of Coach Ilg as he welcomes a new generation of WF Torch Carriers and prepares to take DIRECT LINES to a Subscription Only Format by January 1, 2006 or sooner. 
Photo of the front page from the Fall, 1992
edition of THE JOURNAL OF WHOLISTIC FITNESS�. Started in 1983, each eagerly awaited seasonal issue of “JWF” issue was created, written, researched, printed, paid for, and mailed out personally by Coach Ilg to every Active Student and Subscriber of Wholistic Fitness. By January 2006, “The Journal” now known as, “Direct Lines” will return to a Subscriber Only format to help protect the vulnerable and often abused intellectual property, copyrighted material, and Sacred Teachings of Wholistic Fitness�.
If you would like to read the first three pages from this 1992 edition in a pdf format, please send a polite request to coach. You will be astonished at the consistency of his Message, strength of humor and unique training intellect. You will notice that he was still calling Yoga, “Kinesthetic Training” since Yoga frightened too many athletes back then!
Below, Coach welcomes the new generation of WF Messengers…they have quite a legacy to uphold and i wish them all as much success at helping enrich and Enlighten others through an endlessly empassioned committment to their own Inner Work as has our Beloved Coach demonstrated for the past 25 years…

Namaste Noble WF Brothers and Sisters!
2005 was a Turning Point in the Spinning of the WF Dharma Wheel and certainly in my life,
as
SEVEN
WF-inspired Blogs arose from the ethers of the internet!
TWO WF-inspired BLOGS manifested this week alone; the highly anticpated Launch of WF Teacher Joseph Sheader with his:
“Journal of Haku Hatsuiku” Blog
and
Online WF Student; Bryan Hantman with his:
“Bhantman: meditations on life Blog”
May each of you new authors
use your Blog
kindly and wisely
to elevate the WF Warrior Spirit within reach of All Beings Everywhere.
i bow to your Devoted Practice and your Bravery to Live your Practice Outloud!
Dharma Blessings to all of you.
Okay
Let’s begin with the Root Blog;
Direct Lines
and then,
i will list the other Blogs in chronological order as they came “online”…only consistent Bloggers are mentioned here.
“Approved”
means that the Blog Author approached me before their Blog Launch for my approval and Blessing to use the Wholistic Fitness� name, and provide a Link to WholisticFitness.com, and to use their Blog to forward their understanding of WF to All Beings Everywhere.
