ByWalter August 13, 2025August 19, 2025

You know what’s funny?

You know what? I never thought I’d be creating workouts based on Bible stories, but here we are – and honestly, it’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my 30+ years as a trainer. The whole idea came to me about eleven years ago when I was working with Lucy, a…

ByWalter August 4, 2025August 19, 2025

Okay, let me just start by saying this – if I had a dollar for every mistake I’ve watched Christians over 50 make in their fitness journey, I could probably retire early and spend my days bicycling instead of writing about exercise.

ByWalter July 20, 2025August 19, 2025

When I first heard about “earthing” a few years ago, I thought it was just another wellness fad that would come and go like so many others.

The Strength of God: According to 1 Samuel 16:7
ByWalter June 29, 2025August 19, 2025

You know, I used to think I had God all figured out when it came to strength. Growing up, I was that kid who always assumed the biggest, loudest person in the room was automatically the strongest – not just physically, but spiritually too. Man, was I wrong about that. It wasn’t until I really…

Tracking Progress: Key Metrics in Your Holistic Fitness Journey
ByWalter May 10, 2025August 19, 2025

I remember when I began realizing the definitions of health how disappointed I was when I joined a big Atlanta area fitness facility and the functional fitness assessment was a joke.

ByWalter May 6, 2025August 19, 2025

At the time I didn’t think about how installing a simple workout bench in my bedroom over 35 years ago would change more than just my physique. Even back then, I was focused on building upper and lower body strength, not realizing that functional movements were rewiring my brain in ways I couldn’t see. https://www.rushwalter.com/adapting-your-functional-fitness-routine-through-different-life-stages/…

7-Day Holistic Functional Fitness Program for Beginners
ByWalter April 21, 2025August 19, 2025

Years ago when I first started integrating holistic functional fitness into my equipment shop back in the 90s, people looked at me like I had three heads. “Just sell the treadmills and be done with it,” they’d say. But after watching countless clients struggle with traditional workout equipment that left them injured or frustrated, I…
