Whole9 guest post by Coach Rut, who participates in the sport of weightlifting and is the current Kansas State Champion and the 2006, 2013 and 2014 National Master Champion at 94kg. Locating a professional gym is a difficult task for today’s consumer. There is far too much information dispensed on a daily basis that truth and quality are difficult to determine.

A Whole9 guest post by Eva T., two time Olympian in Alpine Skiing and a 12 year veteran of the U.S. Ski Team The majority of seasonal skiers I speak to do nothing to prepare for the ski season.

Then, there is the other population who want to make it to the next level in their skiing and prep for the season, but they are missing specific components to their program. Finally, there is the skier who is totally on it and is … [Read more...]

Training Guidelines Throughout Aging

training guidelines aging

A Whole9 guest post by Skyler Tanner,  fitness and nutrition coach with 15 years of experience. I like helping people to avoid the medical machine as long as possible. That said, I’m often asked this: What does a 30-something year old guy know about what it’s like to be 60/70/80 years old? My response: “Does an oncologist need to have survived cancer to earn the right to treat cancer?” The simple fact of the matter is that humans, as unique beautiful flowers as we seem believe ourselves … [Read more...]

4 Benefits of Green Exercise

4 Benefits to Green Exercise at Whole9life.com

A Whole9 guest post by James Murphy, a self-described nature-loving-hippie currently living in New Zealand who loves to play outside. When I step outside into nature, it's as though I'm stepping into a world that was designed for me to play and move in. There are trees that seem made for climbing, taunting me with their low-hanging branches. Rocks that have been set up with the perfect jumping distance between them daring me to give it a go. Fascinating trail heads that pique my curiosity … [Read more...]

Bringing Mindfulness to the Office

A Whole9 guest post by Mary Beth LaRue, who is a lover of avocados, homemade chai tea, hip hop and her lovable English bulldog, Rosy. The transition from writing for the local newspaper, slinging drinks and riding my bike absolutely everywhere to sitting behind a desk nine hours a day was a tough one. I'd just graduated college and was headed to Washington DC to work for a prestigious travel magazine. I started to suffer from some major slumpage, pains in my low back and shoulders and … [Read more...]

I read books by Pavel, and studied the different philosophies of Anthony Dilluglio, Valerie Fedorenko and Steve Cotter. I also practiced everything … [Read more...]

Four Ways Yoga Will Make You Happier

yoga makes you happier

A Whole9 guest post from Mary Beth LaRue,  yoga teacher, life coach, and the co-founder of Rock Your Bliss. The first yoga class I ever attended was in my college town in Iowa. Somehow I happened on something called "classical yoga" where most donned a long white robe and spent the class singing in a language I did not recognize. There were no downward facing dogs for this eager eighteen year old. Needless to say I didn't find "my yoga" that day. I eventually happened upon a studio in … [Read more...]
