STUDENT INPUT! AMAZON REVIEWS, WF= "THE WORKOUT OF WORKOUTS", PERSONAL RECORDS DROPPING!!!
"We often wonder: �How will I be when I die?� The answer to that is that whatever state of mind we are in now, whatever kind of person we are now, that�s what we will be like at the moment of death, if we do not change. This is why it is so absolutely important to use this lifetime to purify our mindstream, and so our basic being and character, while we can."
- Sogyal Rinpoche

SOME OF THE CURRENT REVIEWS OF TBT AT AMAZON.COM:
He who seeks not the hard way seeks not the true way. Dogen.
Reviewer: Thomas L. Lynn Jr. (Cincinanti, OH) -
An outstanding contribution...Beyond the fitness format Ilg provides a resonant articulation of the connection between the bodily and the spiritual. Moreover, he avoids the temptation of presenting a "short-cut" approach to fitness, rather exhibiting both the need and the benefit of challenge. Additionally, the fact that Ilg has fully recovered from severe spinal and pelvic injury consummate his integrity. I cannot say enough positive things about Ilg, Total Body Transformation, or Wholistic Fitness altogether...P.s. - This review maybe a redundancy as I was uncertain if I transmitted it successfully the first time...
Steve Ilg Rocks!
Reviewer: Bmax (Atlanta, GA)
This book is phenomenal.
I really love Steve's focus on functional strength, as opposed to
strength for strengths sake.
Ilg combines Yoga, Strength, Cardio, Meditation and Nutrition.
The workouts are challenging and extremely effective, they will transform your body (and mind) if you follow through. Steve's encouragements all throughout the book are very helpful/motivating.

Dear Coach,
I want to thank you for TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION...I cannot believe the shape I am in! I am excited to train each day and enjoy the benefits of Wholistic fitness...I understand the lifepath and cannot imagine anything but.
Thanks again for your path...my family and I are learing what it means to be 'eating to live'. I wanted to add that I am eating from the bottom of the food chain and cannot imagine anything else...I thank you for your expertise!
Thank you,
Mark Mondloch

Dear Coach Ilg,
Yesterday evening was the final Time Trial of the year, and was in pretty good conditions.
I took another 33 seconds off my best to go round in a time of 25:11. Although I am disappointed to have missed out on the 25 minute target (even more so since it was a narrow margin), I am delighted to have taken some more time off my best.
I am on vacation next week, an active vacation with plenty of mountain biking and some hiking and windsufing thrown in!
Looking forward to the next installment of WF.
Humbly
WF Online Student Simon Ash
