My response, “Love is all there Is. Love is the accumulated Divine Karma from our countless past lives which propels our Atman (Soul) into and cultivates the context of our next incarnation. Love is what bubbles to the egoic surface once we’ve scrubbed away Fear, Boredom, Judgment, and Anger. Love is…
16 Reasons why i don’t write books any longer….
actual excerpt from a personal correspondence:
“Coach! Even at your age {53} you are like the most balanced, accomplished warrior athlete still out there winning Overalls in all these crazy sports! When is your next book coming out! I am almost half your age now and need another ILG BOOK!”
To be published in 2016? Sorry, no longer interests me. I’d rather do online Wholistic Fitness® coaching, training, yoga teaching, bodywork and be a Conscious Parent to my 8 year-old than write another book only to be lost in the quagmire of supposed self-published ‘authors’…”
whenever i read of a Self Published Book Author giving a Book Signing?
i run the other way…
super stoked to be the featured guest on Mike Brook’s “ClimbTalk” Show tonight! 9:45pm at KVCU 1190 AM Boulder/Denver…or visithttp://www.radio1190.org/ and press the live stream button Feeble ilg when i was not so feeble…mid-eighties, Boulder, CO…i could get on podiums of bodybuilding, ultra-marathons, and free solo some of the most difficult climbs in the […]
The world’s original winter sport which saved the human ‘race’ remains the most demanding, mystical, and spirit-elevating pursuit on this Plane(t)….but don’t take my word for it…
pic: D-cat and i take an evening stroll (by Durango standards, which means tracking Bear and collecting hundreds of ancient snail shells upon the Mancos Shale intensely hilly topography)…Cardio is a most traditional Yogic discipline; inherent to the Ancient Enlightened Ones Practice (consider Gandhi’s Salt March, Swami Rama’s Himalayan treks, etc., etc…) STUDENT Q&A: […]
Noble Sangha…. when i was deeply imbedded in Road Cycling racing, i was trained by my Elders to “See the Organization…” what this meant was to realize that elite cycling is like an aerobic/anaerobic chess match…you must – no matter HOW HARD YOU ARE HURTING – keep your (what i have called) HELICOPTER […]
as our food supply becomes less and less trustworthy and more and more pranically impotent; my philosophy of relying on world-class supplements as CORE nutrition then wisely selecting dietary foods for calories and fiber seems to becoming an ever smarter approach than it was when i introduced the notion 35 years ago…here is an example of one of my world-class supplements that i use personally and professionally for weight management and hormonal balance//support for the endocrine system…
Dear Coach Ilg –
i first got turned onto your work from TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION…as an artist? I have got to say that your body of work c(om)pletely (as you would probably write it!) revamped my entire way of thinking of ‘art.’ So many who called ourselves ‘artists’ have little – if any – conception of what ‘art’ means when it comes to to transforming the current palette of our body/mind/spirit into a Higher Fitness/Consciousness as you have so beautifully demonstrated throughout your life; you have changed everything from your sports, your paralysis, your writing, your everything and now, perhaps as the most exquisite and most recent brush to your life journey; your fatherhood.
my big vice is NEWS! yes, that’s right…news. i feed upon headlines, articles, breaking reports…i know this must sound horrid to you..yet, as you have Taught me, “We all have our addictions, it’s just a matter of vibration.”
so, if you’d be soooo kind to answer me this ONE QUESTION (i’ve enclosed a Temple Tithe for your time and consideration):
where do you get your “Outer World” news?
stealing another line from you:
Head Bowed,

COACH RESPONDS:
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
These teachings are the "Rasas" or "sap" of Wholistic Fitness. You’ll find insights to ponder, student chi to keep your own chi topped off, and plenty of proven training techniques to test on your own body, mind, and spirit! Also, you’ll find my very popular Race Reports, and news of our Sangha’s (community’s) latest transpersonal fitness adventures!
You have access to thousands of posts going all the way back to 2002. The Archives makes for ideal Svadhyaya, and if you don’t know what that important term means ... all the more reason to dive into these amazing WF Scriptural Recordings!
Checking out one or two archived teachings every day or so is an AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE way to stay connected with your Tribe AND maintain consistency and motivation in what matters most: your own practice.
Note: We'll be fixing broken image links, and cleaning up the categorization of archived posts, over time.
