this morning i will be on a national Asea, “Charge Up Call” speaking about a few of the many profound benefits i’m continuing to find along my personal and professional Asea Journey…here are the call details; for WF.com Members, i’ll detail my insights in the WF SanghaLounge within the Asea section…
Here are my Wholistic Fitness™ Training Stats for the Month of May, 2011 up until one week before i toe the Start Line of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic…Coach’s Warning: DO NOT attempt to mimic these training volumes unless…

Is there a recommended practice or sequence I should emphasize to improve more rapidly or is repeated effort and tincture of time the prescription?

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to the community. In my worklife, I am a marketing/pr consultant for clean technology companies after having worked at global PR firms for several years. I live in the west hills of Portland, OR, right in the middle of some of the best bicycling in the world. While rereading “Bike for Life,” I became interested in learning more about Steve Ilg’s wholistic approach to fitness.

There is a saying…”Judge not a Teacher save by the nobility of his or her Students…” Ready to be inspired once again by one of your fellow Wholistic Fitness™ Warriors?

The IRON HORSE is one of the Three Sacred WF Pilgrimages which all WF Devotees attempt to take before this one wild and precious lifetime is over.
“It takes the utmost seriousness of intent to realize Self. I guess that’s why they call it mastery. Allow the energy in the hips to flow down through the legs and out the feet.

This is really serious stuff!!!! I bow to you in your intent. This would not be happening if the time was not ripe. Where does your fruit lie???”
