Raindrops kept falling on our heads. What a cool workout we had on Monday. The rains came during our warm-up and felt really good. We were "recycling". The workout was tough, with T-Push-ups, reverse crunches, step-ups with weights, Brazilian split lunges and inverted rows. # or 4 sets of each made for quite a morning. When the rain stopped it seemed as was continuing because of the effort we were giving. It was a solid and unique workout. You should have been there! People who fail are those who stop working on themselves.

What an awesome week for our campers. The running has gotten better, the push-ups easier, the sit-ups less challenging, the knowledge that the most strenuousl part of our day is behind us....priceless! THE CAMPER OF THE WEEK IS.......JULIE JARED! WAY TO GO JULIE!

Thursday, August 14, 2008

Awesome workouts this week. A reminder to those of you who love exercise outdoors; get your outdoor gear now! Before you have to debate whether or not you want to get wet or a chilly. It makes such a difference to have the right mindset about your methods to success. Strength and determination will be evident in all that you do. We miss those of you who have had to take a break for various reasons. I hope that you are still working hard to meet your fitness goals. I personally have lost 10 pounds over the last month and I am looking at losing about 10 more. Please continue to work hard, because the calories of the holidays will be upon us before we know it. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves.

It's almost that time again! New stuff for the next camp. It's going to be crazy and fun! We start Monday at 5:45AM. I hope you've been doing something to stay loose and stay in shape. Do some stretching to keep your body ready for action. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves.

Monday, August 04, 2008

Hi guys, I just wanted to say HI! Please tell the people that matter to you most that you love them because there are no guarantees that they will be available to hear you say it tomorrow. Take advantage of every single day, make the most of it. Great news! Sharon Busby (wrist) is back to being active. She and her husband are out doing some light jogging at the park. It's great to see her back!

For me, the end of July means the end of summer, especially since I have to be at work on Monday. Ritefit, however will continue on through the fall unless a Hurricane or severe weather blows us down. This summer has been fun as I've met some great people and have shared many laughs with you. Don't tell my wife but I'm planning a little party at our home very soon. We had a party last year and everyone behaved so it wasn't that much fun! But we managed to have a good time anyway. We even served cake!
The beginning of the school year means a regular structure for many of us with holiday office parties filled with sweets and goodies we have difficulty avoiding. I have a love affair with sweets and have avoided refined sugar for the last two weeks. No cookies, pies, cake or pancakes is huge for me! My goal is to lose at least twenty pounds and get to 210. Changing my relationship with food and what it represents has been a big help. Avoiding Halloween, football tailgate parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be my biggest obstacles. Although when I really think about it, it's all in my mind. Remember when it comes to staying in shape, it's you versus you! One delicious fattening meal per week is okay. A whole day of binging on the wrong stuff is difficult for the psyche to continue to overcome. Much like a drug addict you've got to disassociate with the culprits. We're taking our week off to get the batteries re-charged, so we will pick up again on Monday, August 11th. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves, so keep working! If you have any suggestions or feedback positive or negative please me know. I'm a big boy, I can take it. I love you all. Thank you.

Great job on Monday and Wednesday. We did some real exhaustive work especially today with the Tabata work. 4 minutes has never seemed so long. Squats, Push-ups, Sit-ups, Box Jumps, and Mountain Climbers (whew). Half of the battle has been fought, now you need to remove one thing from your diet if you want those awesome abs. (Sugar) Removing the refined sugar will help you see some results quickly. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves.

Friday, July 25, 2008

A reader asks, "What's the real story on using sugar? What does it do to our body, does it get turned into fat?"

This is an excellent question, and one that I think applies to almost everyone. In answering it, I'm going to give you a brief description of the biochemical events that take place when a person consumes sugar.
In explaining this subject to many people over a period of several years, I found the most useful metaphor to be that of an automobile engine. Let's take a
Toyota Corolla, one of the most popular cars on the street today. The Toyota Corolla has an engine that's designed to burn a certain type of fuel. That fuel, gasoline, has a certain flash point and a given output of power per gallon of gasoline. There are other fuels that power other types of vehicles -- for example, jets run on a high-octane petroleum product that has far more energy per gallon than automobile gasoline. Diesel fuel, on the other hand, burns more slowly.
So you have different types of fuels for different vehicles. Most people understand the idea that if you took your Toyota Corolla, drove it down to the airport, and filled it up on jet fuel, you wouldn't get a faster Toyota Corolla. Instead, you would get a critically damaged Toyota Corolla engine, because the fuel would burn too hot, too fast, and it would overpower the design of the engine. In fact, you probably wouldn't drive more than 10 miles before the engine burned up, and you would have to overhaul the entire engine in order to drive your car again.
This is sort of what goes on when it comes to the human
digestive system and sugars. The human digestive system was designed to consume foods that are readily available in the natural surrounding environment. These foods can be compared to certain types of fuels because each food releases energy at a given rate during digestion (primarily based on fiber and fructose content).
As an example, let's take a look at an apple. It contains fiber, vitamins and minerals, and lots of
carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are the fuel. But the carbohydrates are bound up in the fiber of the apple so that it takes your body a fair amount of time and effort to release those carbohydrates and convert them into fuel. So you could call the apple a medium-burning carbohydrate, or in medical terms, it has a lower glycemic index than straight sugar.
But if you take straight sugar, that is,
refined white sugar, which is something that does not occur naturally in the environment, and you put that in your mouth, then your body converts that into blood sugar very rapidly. It's like pouring jet fuel down your throat. This is the same as filling up your Toyota gas tank with jet fuel and trying to drive away. When you eat sugar you consume soft drinks -- which are even worse because they are liquid sugar -- you are trying to run your metabolic engine on jet fuel, and the human metabolic engine was not designed to run on jet fuel.
So what happens? When you first consume any sort of refined sugars or
refined carbohydrates (like white flour), the digestion process begins immediately -- in fact, it begins even before you swallow the foods. There are digestive enzymes in your saliva that go to work on these sugars and start converting them into blood sugar, even before they hit your stomach. Once they're in your stomach, they are mixed with acidic digestive juices and physically churned through stomach muscle contractions so that it creates a liquid paste. This liquid, sugary paste is then very easily absorbed through the intestinal walls, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.
So your blood sugar, which might have been around 80 or 90 before you drank the soft drink or ate that candy bar, now suddenly starts spiking up to 150 or 200, or perhaps even higher. This creates an emergency situation in your body. High blood sugar is very dangerous for human beings. If it is allowed to continue, it will cause symptoms that are more classically known as
diabetic neuropathy, which means the nerves that feed various limbs in your body (feet, mostly) start to die. Diabetics who maintain high blood sugar over a long period of time often have to have their feet amputated because the nerves in their feet are wasting away. People who fail are those who stop working on themselves.

It's been great to see the effort and enthusiasm from all of you. I'm ordering tank tops so you can show your "buffed look" to your family and neighbors. The school buses are around the corner so enjoy the flow of traffic while you can!

Saturday, July 19, 2008

The physical and mental changes we are striving for are beginning to take shape. Toning, definition and fitness goals are being realized. Be proud of yourself and how you've turned staying at the top of your game into a habit. We will keep varying the exercises and doing some new activities that will keep the muscles guessing so you can get the maximum benefit. Sugar creates fat, watch your diet and count your calories. Don't be fooled by fat-free products, they are not sugar-free. They are often still loaded with carbs. Sugar is not your friend.
If you are looking for an inexpensive outing with the family. The Berry Patch on Arnold Mill Rd. has some great blueberries for 1.69 a pound. We picked for 3 hours on Friday and enjoyed the time spent in nature even though we didn't see each other for at least an hour. It's a large enough farm that you can get away from loud people and still enjoy the outing! We look forward to it every year and find a new place to pick each year. Yes, city boys like and appreciate the country.

A great workout today! The abdominal emphasis is creating some much needed strength and will increase your ability to do more work. I know you are sore from Super Tuesday but you have to admit it is a good soreness! The effort this week has been phenomenal, BE PROUD OF YOURSELF! Even Michelle's husband was sore from Tuesday and he participates in mixed Martial arts (UFC), you really took it to a new level. It's good to test yourself to see what you are capable of. Much like our triathletes who enjoy grueling hours of fatigue, you can push yourself to the limit and beyond as well, except you find out what you're made of much, much sooner. (smile)

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Please send me an email reply if you have received this blog request even if you are not a current camper.

People who fail are those who stop working on themselves. Awesome workout today. We're missing you guys who are on vacation, hopefully you are not slacking too much. For whatever reason some people think that several days off from exercise is okay. The problem with that is you have to get started all over again. Missing 3 days in a row is painful. Super Tuesday is tomorrow, a 20 minute blast starting at 6:00AM -6:30AM. Everyone who is someone is invited. Bring a friend or spouse and show them what you are made of. Here's what we did today:

7 X circuit
one leg extension dips X12

cone sprints

Saturday, July 12, 2008

On Tuesday, July 15th we will initiate a transformation camp day that will be our most challenging yet. The short term plan is to have at least two of these days per month in addition to the regular camp days. It will begin at 6:00AM and end around 6:30AM, including warm-up and cool down. There are no breaks for water or rest, we will train with high intensity that will exhaust your muscles. Most, if not all work will be done in the sand, so don't wear your nicest shoes. If you don't feel up to it, don't come. This workout is intense and not for everyone! Our athlete campers should be here! You don't want to miss this. If you want to prove something to yourself by raising the bar and push beyond your limits then you should be here on Tuesday, July 15th
Nutrition is 50% of the deal. Crunches don't work unless you remove the layers of fat that are covering them. Go to www.my-calorie-counter.com and get started today. If you have any problems email me. The resource is easy to use and it's free! Even if you don't have weight issues you should consider how your eating habits impact your performance.

Friday, July 11, 2008

Once again, another awesome workout. Give yourself a lot of credit. The air has been very heavy with high humidity, yet you persevered. Many people have found reasons to become a couch or mouse potatoes, but you are goal setters. Team day was fun. Do some stretching and get some exercise over the weekend and if you are on vacation some ab work and a run along the beach in the am or pm is a great idea. DON'T give it all back during your time off. Watch your diet and show some discipline. Don't feel bad when you slip, get up quickly!

Wednesday, July 09, 2008

Thanks to everyone for making my first day easier!! I am looking forward to Friday even though I am already feeling it!!! See ya'll Friday!!Fitness for life.
Wow, what a workout today! It was awesome! We now have three Michelle's! Darko, Donley and Knapp. That sounds like a law firm. The focus have shifted to some solid core/ab work with some resistance training and we are attacking the areas that have been neglected. Some soreness may occur. Ice down problem areas, do some stretching where ever, whenever you can. You can't underestimate it's importance. Did I say how awesome you were?
Here is what you accomplished today: BE PROUD!!! Check your diet at http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/
5 minute run
3X 40 on / 20 off of each of the following exercises:

It was a foggy, damp and wonderful morning and about 37 years ago Dr. Randy Beck was born (big ups to Randy). We missed a few of you who are still enjoying the holiday weekend or you are on vacation. One thing is for sure, you don't feel quite right unless you get up and get a good workout. A big shout out goes to all the people who showed up today especially Michelle Donley (newbie) who did the whole workout . This camps focus will be on resistance and core training. Our midsections need much more work, so our activities will focus on that area while we work others. Here's what we did today:
traveling push-ups
standing one leg rows
plank - ups
1/2 burpees w/jumps
dumb bell raises to chin
burpees w/ jump to rr ties
dips
kettle bell swings
planks w/ open lift
thrusts
Fitness for life.

Wednesday, July 02, 2008

I hope that all is well in ATL and that you are running or walking and exercising. We are enjoying the week off visiting our son in NYC. We cannot believe how fast this place is, even though I was born here. But the food is fabulous. If you haven't been to NYC you need to check it out. It's great every once in a while. I have some new ideas and exercises for the next camp that will challenge you in a different way with a focus on core training.
I've been checking out some of the camps here....they could learn a thing or two from us. See you on the 7th. Fitness for life.

Friday, June 27, 2008

The last day of June camp was excellent. Up and down the theater steps 30 times plus other goodies. Big ups to Tim who outlasted everyone in the plank competition. It was great to see Tim smile. I hope you are active during the next week and stay committed to getting the body and fitness level that you want. We will return on July 7th, ready to remove the layer of BBQ we will have strapped on over the holiday. As I said before. this is really about using it or losing it. A diet is great for looks; a diet and strenuous exercise at least 3 times each week is great for life. I know the cost of everything is rising. If the cost of camp is a factor please contact me and lets work it out. For most of you one camp will not yield significant changes. In reality it takes about 12-16 weeks to reconstruct one's self. A championship boxer will train 12-16 weeks for a title fight. In this case; it's you versus you. You will win! See you in July!

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Fantastic workout today! We broke it off. Here's what you did for 30/30 day: 6 minutes of sprinting in place, 6 minutes squats, 4 sets each of the following: dips, burpees, incline push-ups, crunches, shoulder presses. After a sluggish start you ripped it! Be proud of yourselves. You can definitely see the fitness levels of everyone increasing steadily! Remember, we will take next week off and return July 7th. When you return we will take fitness stats now that we have a substantial baseline. Do some alternative activity with your days off. Go for a run, hike or a bike ride, but keep moving! http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

This the last week before the July 4th break, I hope you are targeting your personal goals and that you can see results from the Ritefit workouts. I want to reiterate that the most awesome resource that helps you build a two-pronged approach is by using the my calorie counter website. A big shoutout to our Campers of the week Michelle and Stephanie. Michelle laughed at me during ab work at the theater ( like, keep up dude) and Stephanie has been nursing a thigh injury for the past week but will not be denied a workout. Awesome ladies! Way to go.

Monday, June 23, 2008

Monday, June 16, 2008

You guys were so awesome today! Here's what you accomplished today
You ran 120, 220 and 320 yard dashes twice! Then you participated in the lunge, jumping jack, tuck jump, skip activities. Traveling jumping jacks, burpee, carioca race. Then you finished with an abs circuit (X 3)that included Planks, reverse crunches, oblique crunches, jump rope and chops w/ medicine balls. You are really raising the bar!

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Thanks to all of you today! Thanks to Sharon, it will be a day I'll never forget! A big shout out to Stephanie who provided so much comfort to her and to Todd and Lisa for calling to check on Sharon. Sharon is a trooper. She will have some pins inserted into her wrist around noon on Thursday. Say a prayer for her. Sharon is grateful for the flowers and card we gave to her. Thanks for the family atmosphere and support that we have been enjoying. YOU ARE AWESOME!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DWAYNE! Still another great workout!

Sharon, we look forward to seeing you soon! Hope your wrist is okay! Keep us posted.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

I started my second week of bootcamp, and I didn't think I would get through the first week! The encouragement from everyone is Awesome. I keep hearing Lisa saying "you just wait, by the end of the month you will be able to feel the difference." Thanks Dewayne for doing what you do!

Monday, June 09, 2008

What a great start to the week! An awesome workout! You should be proud of how hard you worked. Here's what you did today. What's great about what you did is that you really pushed yourself.

84 Mountain climbers
84 Coipera lunges
84 Sit-ups w/reach
84 Burpees
and a half mile run/jog. You are the truth!

Sunday, June 08, 2008

Online health magazines are so cool! It's like reading the magazine without the advertisements.
Check the articles out in these magazines. I'm not usually a fan of either magazine but these resources are better than usual. Beware of the articles that promise you fantastic abs but fail to include diet disciplines.

Friday, June 06, 2008











You guys were awesome today! Big shout outs to everyone. We had the difficult task of choosing a camper of the week. After much discussion of what the camper of the week really meant we realized that we could choose everyone, for everyone had reasons to be appreciated. Gayle was awesome for her effort even though she's in great shape already! Gayle has set the bar for our camp. way to go Gayle. You should also know that she's running in a 5k this weekend and competing in a 30 mile road race on Sunday. To her credit she's also looking forward to camp on Monday. Gayle's speed smells like hot cakes!










Thursday, June 05, 2008

Campers have been inquiring about what they should do during off days from camp. I would suggest a nice easy run or run/walk. A nice 30 minute workout or weight training session will show huge benefits as the camp workouts continue. On the weekends you need to get active, A long bike ride or run is essential to become a better you. But hey, if you are really tired, not lazy tired but exhausted, you need rest and that rest will give you more benefits than a workout will. Listen to your body. I would gladly welcome music requests or I'll play a burned CD of yours so you can stay pumped up. It's hard to please everyone, but I'll do my best. Send a request to my email.
Just a little FYI, Ritefit will take a one week break in between the current camp and the next. Time to get the batteries recharged is important. We will take a break from June 30th through July 4th. Odds are in favor that most of you have plans that week especially since the 4th falls on a Friday. Holiday's don't have to be a setback, especially if you moderate what you put in your body and exercise. Remember the my calorie counter website. I'm looking for feedback.

Wednesday, June 04, 2008



Awesome day two of June camp. A big shout out to Kelly who was doing work! (I know it's bad grammah) and high kicking Gayle. This is easily the most athletic camp we've ever had. Try to give yourself an extra five minutes on Friday for some testing (body composition).

Monday, June 02, 2008

What a great start to the June Camp! I was a little surprised by the numbers because some people commit to getting in shape in their mind and leave their bodies behind. Not so with this group. They showed up in full force and I admittedly was caught off guard by the number of people, especially since we had about or 5 campers out until Wednesday. I will be fully prepped from this day forward. Believe it! Remember to stretch often, watch your diet by staying away from "white items' bread, sugars, milk fat, potatoes, rice, pasta. I will get measurements asap so we can lock in on your goals. please use the calorie counter website from the last blog post.

Saturday, May 31, 2008

The website payment problem is resolved. I've added a second payment button that by passes the registration information process on the home page. Good Luck. See you Monday.

Friday, May 30, 2008

The forecast for Monday June 2nd is a comfortable 65 degrees in the early morning and not a cloud in the sky. Today's awesome workout was missed by a couple of people. I think the affliction is called BEACHITIS! On Monday we will ratchet it down a notch as a lot of new people will be joining us and each day we will crank it up a notch until you scream for more. There's nothing like an endorphin rush! It beats an alcoholic drink with an umbrella every time. Remember that your diet is the most important thing you need take care of. Watch your sodium intake and count your calories. Don't give it all back on the weekends. To know exactly what you are eating, go to http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/ it's free and will give you the information that makes your doctor happy. After a several uses, it will construct a boilerplate of your most common foods so it becomes easier to use the more you use it. You have to take advantage of free resources like this. Even if weight loss is not one of your goals you should use this resource. I can't wait to meet the newbies!

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

A big shout out to the crew especially! Erin (simply impressive-pull ups), Randy ( the push-up King), Scott (The Rock) and Killer Kelly(Wall ball-ab master). All of you were awesome! Here's what you did today.

1/2 mile run
1st circuit: wall balls, cone slides, crunches w/ resistance, steps, Jump rope 1 min ea X4
2nd circuit: Jump up pull-ups, squats, push-ups 30 seconds 4X
Ab work: Pendulums 3x10, modified plank 1 min front, rt side , lt side.
remember: if weight loss is your goal, you need to count your carbs and calories and reduce them.

Tuesday, May 27, 2008





The June 2nd camp is going to be great. the response for the public has been great as inquiries and sign-ups continue. Here are some photos from last years camps.

Monday, May 26, 2008

Sorry guys, I'm experiencing technical difficulties uploading video.
June 2nd is the Ritefit kick off date for 2008. If you are a veteran camper welcome back. If you are brand new, we're glad to have you. I look forward to working out with you. If everyone who has contacted me over the past month joins the June camp, we will be able to do some awesome team competition events. They are without question the most fun days of fitness bootcamps. Please post any comments that are inspiring that you would like to share. I'm going to add some clips from last year's camp. I hope you enjoy these and look forward to making new videos of the 2008 version. http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb95/rds11062/?action=view¤t=72bda937.flv

Monday, May 19, 2008

Hi, we've missed you. I hope that you are happy with how you look and your level of fitness. Ritefit is here for you, if you feel that a challenging workout is necessary to get jump started toward where you want to be. If you just want to maintain, we're here as well. The new time slots are working out great. A day off between workouts is very helpful. As owner of Ritefit I am continually seeking ways to improve the business. I've become much more in tune with each camper's individual needs and tailoring workouts. Initially, the motive was profit, but I feel a change is necessary to keep this type of fitness in the area without it costing too much and create an alternative to the TV watching, no sweat activities of the local clubs. My goal is to see the boot camp fitness program become a fixture in the community.
i also tend to be very impulsive, so I'm going to seek non-profit status for Ritefit that will allow the company to use a local high school gymnasium in the fall and winter. I think that if it were even more affordable and expenses were covered with a reasonable compensation for time spent it would be great. Going forward, I am seeking ways to grow and show the community that I can provide something useful; my talent and my time. I hope that my passion becomes contagious because I see so much promise for Cherokee county and especially Woodstock. An example of my concerns are the lack of bike paths in the surrounding counties. Cherokee county will extend sidewalks to Hobgood Park on bells ferry rd. in 2010 or 2011. Wow that seems so far away. Governor Purdue's office misunderstood my request and sent me a letter of reply that assumed I was complaining about gas prices, when I wanted the state to consider why we can't ride bikes to work. I'll try his office again.

This letter may be a bit off subject but I wanted you to know who I am when you don't see me. I care. Stay in shape, stay healthy. Dwayne Rogers

Thursday, May 08, 2008

Randy and Nadine, thank you for getting me pumped up! Your enthusiasm is catching. Fitness 19 is going to allow us to advertise the RITEFIT bootcamp at their facility. Over 100 signs are going up around Woodstock. The new exercises are fun and challenging and there are soooo many more. The new camp schedule is so much better with a day of rest in between each workout. It gives you the chance to do some resistance training (weights) and vary your workout. Veteran campers I'VE GOT A GREAT DEAL FOR YOU! I need you at camp and you're going to like it, I promise. Email me at Dwayne@ritefit.net. I need to know what's happening with you because I haven't seen you in half a year or more.

Sunday, May 04, 2008

Tomorrow is the new day for Ritefit and for you. Town Lake has so much to offer that it's become quite interesting to see which method will capture the most people. It's all good for you especially if you are being challenged three to four days per week. I'm beginning to write out my personal weight workouts so I can gauge consistent progress. Don't plateau no matter what you do. Keep pushing for a better, more in shape you.

I just wanted you guys to see the new ad in Cherokee tribune. Cinco De Mayo is time to worko! It looks much better in wednesday's paper

Thursday, April 10, 2008

Happy Spring Break! This pause in the action has been absolutely wonderful! I have renewed my enthusiasm for life and have finally settled on a Ritefit start date of May 5th. It's only fitting that the first day of exercise will come before a hearty evening of Mexican food, Cervecas and heartburn! Please check out the website, give me some feedback. We will do the 5:45-6:45 camp in May, then in June we will offer 3 camps, at 5:45, 7Am and 10 Am. Ads began running in the Cherokee Tribune yesterday and the response has been great. If you're in let's plan on running in the Woodstock 5k this July! It would be a great way to test yourself.
Bloggaliciously yours

It's 3 am. I must be inspired or having an epiphany. I just realized that since the last bootcamp that I've changed Internet Service Providers. It gets complicated when your blog email is not the same as your current email and If I change my email I lose the blog and have to create a new one. So if someone has tried to contact me under my old email address with Bellsouth, they couldn't. My new email address is Dwayne@Ritefit.net Please be patient with the website, It's above my skill level and I'm bringing in the experts to help. Good Night.

Thursday, March 20, 2008

Happy Spring to you, hopefully the Jareds' have new baby bunny and all of you are doing well.
I've missed seeing all of you so we are going to do the bootcamp at Hobgood rather than move it elsewhere. Ritefit will be back on April 14th, the Monday after Cobb and Cherokee's spring break. We are looking at 3 days per week with camp on Mon-Wed-Fri. I hope you come back and bring a friend. We have some new cool exercises with some new props. I've had some issues with the blog and my email and just got them resolved thanks to the awesome tech skills of Jay. The website is undergoing some massive changes and will be better than ever very soon. Please let us know what you've been up to, we'd love to hear from you.

Dwayne Rogers

What a workout today! 150 jump ropes, band work for the bi's and tri's, then up and down the theater stairs for about 40 minutes. Our campers of the week, yes I know it's not over! Lisa R., Lisa #3, Kathy and Terri! it's been cold, wet and dark but they are awesome about staying fit! See you Thursday and Friday for the grand finale! Check out this link if you haven't yet.

Awesome workout today by the crew! Lisa and Todd where are you? Great abs finish again by Lisa #3. Hopefully this week she won't hurt me. it was great to be back working out because I've been eating like a refugee! Today's workout; 1oo steps, 25 thrusts, 15 push-ups followed by 3/4 lap.(repeat) for 30 minutes. Hopefully Debbie will make it tomorrow, maybe Randy, Nadine or some former Ritefit member will make a cameo.

Friday, October 26, 2007

Whew! This week blew by! Today's workout was really cool as Lisa #3 put us through a monster Abdominal workout. It was excellent! Next week is the last before the big holiday break. you have all been wonderful and I would like to invite you to our home for a little post-camp mixer, details are forth coming. Rememberto check the link!

Thursday was a different workout and to say we we were a little light was an understatement. Cool mornings build character and the air was the best you will taste all day. Imagine waking up in San Diego for boot camp!

Here's a little something I wanted to share with you, I hope you like it.
http://shamoli-sarkar.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/05/the-husband-store-the-wife-store.htm
Wow! I didn't realize I had not posted anything this week. The women warriors were out in full force on tuesday Runnin' in the rain. It was beautiful! Terri, Lisa 3, Lisa R., Jen who's filling in for Cheri and Debbie whooped it up and sang rain chants on carry-your-buddy day. They are taking full responsibility for the rains that fell on tuesday and wednesday.

Thursday, October 18, 2007

A funny thing happened today, it rained! Yea! Even though it wasn't a significant amount, it was enough to provide hope that the drought will end! It's the same when it comes to fitness, your fitness deficit decreases when you work out. Day by day your stamina and strength will improve. Remember, it takes two days to make up each day you miss. Today Debbie brought her lovely daughter to workout with us. She was as awesome as mom. It was fun to see both family members giving it their all. Todd and Lisa C. and Lisa R. were their usual awesomeness. The rest of the crew were MIA. Be a kid again and enjoys natures gift. You may have missed another opportunity to experience your awesomeness. Debbie and Lisa did a 90 second assessment of push-ups, sit-ups and squats and improved in two of three categories. AWESOME!!!
The rest of the workout was a Fight Gone Bad circuit, 4 rounds. Todd did 160 jump ropes in a minute! You make us raise our game! Thanks. See you tomorrow!

Monday, October 15, 2007

What a workout today! Everyone rocked! We had a roll call and a bunch of the crew were MIA. Does anyone know what's up with the old crew with Jay and Nadine? Where's Carla? Randy's in and out. Who have I left out? Anyway, how's your diet? The boot camp concept is extremely effective if you do those push-a-ways from the foods that taste so good and show up on your toosh! Have you seen the commercial where the man and woman order at the fast food counter and ask for the portions of food by a diseased name, it's a riot!

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Whew! Friday already. It's been a strange week. Warm and humid quickly turned to cold and crisp. It seemed like the chilly weather would never arrive. Long sleeves and sweats should be a part of your apparel, but be prepared to wear layers so you can peel them off and be comfortable as you warm up.
FYI- The reason we score the Tabata work out is that we can gauge your progress the next time we do them. They are an intense workout and test your ability to go all out. Please don't compare your scores to the scores of other campers. You may have done many more reps during your other cycles but crashed and burned on your last set and received a low score, but overall your may have done more reps than everyone!

Wednesday, October 10, 2007

On Tuesday everyone was still feeling monday. The running was a nice addition to ease some muscle tension. Do not ignore muscle soreness and joint pain. Ice the sore areas ASAP. Terri and Kathy have been suffering from some terrible dreams; everytime Terri rolls a pair of dice they always come up snake-eyes! The dreaded #1= BURPEES! We are almost at the midpoint and mental fatigue is the true enemy. You have increased aerobic capacity and with that you have the ability to do more which burns more calories. I will do my best to keep things interesting and fun for you.

Monday, October 08, 2007

What a way to start the week! That was a great double circuit (The Lisa). Thanks for letting me work out with you guys this morning. It was a solid effort on every one's part. This is such an inspiring group of people. You are going to make changes in aerobic capacity, but if you want to see significant physical changes you must count your caloric intake and stabilize your blood sugar. Use the calorie at http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/ it's a pain at first but later you will zero in on where your eating habits are causing the most harm. Here's what you did today:

10 minute circuit

10 jumping jacks
5 sit-ups
5 push-ups
10 squats
repeat

15 minute circuit

stair climb
25 jump rope
10 thrusters
repeat

glute work:

adduction (inner thigh)
abduction (outer thigh)

I'm Lisa S or #3. This was my first week and I'm so happy I joined this group. I love it!
I work out all the time, but I feel like my body's gotten used to my routine. I teach Body Pump and Body Flow at the Club at townelake and I run regularly and have still managed to put on a few pounds over the summer.(I did cut down on my running because of the heat)
My two friends, Terri and Kathy (Kay) joined me and I am so proud of them!
Thank you, Dwayne for doing this and encouraging us. Also, thank you Lisa and Todd for giving me something to work towards.
It's my day off, what should I do?
Whatever you feel like doing. Sometimes we want to relax and sometimes we want to run 7 miles, it's up to you. If it feels good, do it. Go play Frisbee with your kids or the dogs. It's a great way to reconnect with the family and get some exercise. All of you have been awesome. You are leading by example and the changes you desire have already begun. Have a great weekend and post some blogs whenever you feel like it. Show your family what you've been doing in the AM. Have fun by showing them what Tabata's are! Stretch, stretch, stretch!
Tabata scores from week one ( 8 cycles of 20 secs on/ 10 secs rest )

What an awesome group! Your positive attitude and energy level is outstanding! Todd, you are the man. Thanks for setting the pace. Tomorrow's blog will have your assessment results from this week. An easy run or some solid weight (resistance) training and some abdominal work will help you reach your short-term goals even faster. Again, what a solid effort from everyone. The Camper of the week award goes to.........................................Debbie! Yea! Gift you on Monday!

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Great workout today! Plenty of enthusiasm. Bring your favorite Cd if you want to turn us on to some new tunes! We need to do an assessment Thursday or Friday so get plenty of rest.

Sunday, September 30, 2007

Scream!!!! my email is messed up until tomorrow! I've just switched Internet service providers and I'm having big trouble communicating. Please call me this weekend if you need me. 770-403-2542.

Friday, September 28, 2007

Big Ups to Cheri, Debbie, Nadine, Roma, Todd and Lisa and Lisa R. You were awesome! Next week will be a bit different as we always seek to work all body parts. Make sure you let me know if you have any real muscle strains or problems that are chronic! Stretch over the weekend and get some fiber in your diet. Nutrition is the key to weight loss and exercise is the key to more energy, vitality, strength and your youthful appearance! Rest and relax, you've worked hard.
To all my new camp buddies (and I'm talking about people - not the buddies I carried throughout the work out today!) and of course to my wonderful sister-in-law Debbie... Thank you all for your support! You all make me want to keep coming back and trying to improve.

Have a wonderful, healthy weekend!

Cheri

Thursday, September 27, 2007

You missed it! Today's workout was awesome. We had several no-shows, no Jay, Randy (reunion), Roma, Duane (MIA), Nadine, Cheryl (MIA) Carla (business) and it was a little disheartening especially when 4 new people were at camp cranking out an awesome effort.
Todd and Lisa (newbies) were in fine form ripping today's workout, pushing each other like camp veterans. They obviously have been exercising for some time, as we went through a Tabata workout of Double unders, ring rows, wall balls, steps and sit-ups. They challenged the workout the whole time. A real big shout out to Cheri and Debbie who ripped it up! These ladies are here to win! They are working so hard and you can see the dedication in their effort. I was truly impressed by the way they make no excuses! Way to go, what a can-do attitude!

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

We are off to great start. The veteran campers are definitely in a different mindset and anticipating the effort necessary to take their workouts to new levels. We will raise the bar and look to get at least one assessment each week. To help with assessments I would ask that you take measurements of yourself. Take one of your waist, chest, thigh and bicep. be sure to keep in mind exactly where you took the measurement, also keep note of which side of the body you measured. We need these by next Monday. We will be sure to test strength and endurance so your attendance is important. We will have another assessment tomorrow or Friday.

Let's re-emphasize that your diet is the key to those glorious abdominals, so let's remove the layers that cover them so they can be exposed to the world. Take a good look in the mirror and see what you want to change. DON'T TAKE IT ALL IN AT ONCE. IT CAN BECOME OVERWHELMING. Do some push-aways from the table, drive on by chick-fil-a for a change and you'll see a change. Take one of your bad eating habits away at a time and you'll see the results you want in time. On the weekends a nice bike ride or 20-30 minute run is a great change of pace. If you want more, go do the hill runs at Kennesaw mountain. Either way, just get moving.

Sunday, September 23, 2007

It's time to get off your hiney! Tomorrow is going to bring the energy back!!! Come and get it! We'll be calling roll and looking for the veterans to lead the rookies. We're counting on you!!!
See you tomorrow!

Sorry about the delay of the blog. Some new campers have enrolled for the next camp and look to add some new excitement and enthusiasm. It may or may not be the last one until spring (FEB), it depends on my schedule. This camp will take us right up to November and the holidays are always a challenge. I thank you for helping me gain the confidence to do this. It's always slow going in the beginning and the competition is fierce, but we are determined to make a difference in this community. Great news! Julie J. is expecting! Surprises continue to pop out of her. Larry is the man! Maybe he can crank out a fella for a change!
Dedication to exercise is key as I have been flat as a pancake for the last few days. It's been meetings, school and a night course so I can teach a new AP course. I can't wait for Monday to arrive so my energy level can return to normal. This is also an open invitation to those of you who had trouble completing the last camp; a drop in by a friend is always welcome! I consider all of you new friends and wish nothing but the best for you and, I hope you feel the same about me. Let's get GA in SHAPE!!!
"Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal."

Sunday, September 09, 2007

Week six is here already! The aerobic gains are evident and some physical changes are apparent on all members that attend regularly. The new shirts are so cool! If you don't have one yet, see Dwayne immediately. The response for the next camp has been great, so expect to get to camp early for your space.
Overheard in the Ritefit clubhouse restaurant........................Some more trash talk overheard this weekend. Roma says she will win the weight loss competition. Hmmmmmm. Some new and exciting things are on tap for next camp starting on September 24th. Go to Ritefit.net for details. It should entice your whole neighborhood to join. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we had a celebration of sorts for the two birthdays last week, Julie and Lisa. It was a great workout followed by Gatorade and power bars! A big shout out to Julie who came to camp on her birthday and on Thursday after a monster workout session on weights on Wednesday night, you are awesome! Another big shout out to Lisa who has missed only 3 workouts for family airport departures since June! Another big shout out to Carla Ray who will be missed Monday and Tuesday, but worked out so hard on Thursday that her knee had swollen up to the size of a grapefruit! You all have been awesome in your work ethic and determination.

Tuesday, September 04, 2007

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!!!
WORKIN' OUT AND GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY!
WE LOVE YOU!
THE RITEFIT CREW

Monday, September 03, 2007

To inspire those who really want to make a change......I mean really!!! Not here for show but for a true transformation we have decided to provide an incentive brought about by Nadine. Ritefit has your weights from last week and will provide a prize for the winner. Winning is based on percentage of weight of loss. If a tie occurs the contest will be settled by a physical challenge.
We don't have the Monday blues!

Many folks chose today as a holiday and I applaud you for listening to your body and resting. Some campers felt a commitment so strong that they reveled in the silence of Hobgood park on monday morning. Because for much of the time, we were there with the crickets! It's very inspiring to be among people who push themselves to work when everyone else takes a pass because it's a holiday. The most ironic thing, is that it was LABOR DAY! Hat's off to Carla, Lisa and Julie. Once again the ladies have shown much more testosterone than others. Yeah, we're talkin 'trash!
This picture is for those who managed excuses today! You are on the right and we are in your grill!

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

More tuesday August 28, 2007
Julie.....................................standing tall in the big city! Hopefully someone will step up to the challenge. Awesome job ladies! I owe you big! My biggest fear is being late or over sleeping. You may not think it's a big deal but it's HUGE as far as I'm concerned. Tell me how to make it up to you!
FYI-Never set your cell phone completely on the no ringer setting. At least leave a beep!
Good stuff from Bob Greene Click here for sound advice on everything.

Our fearless leader was under the weather today, but that didn't stop the Woodstock Women from another day of hard work, dedication and lots and lots of sweat. Hey guys, where have you been? It's time to call you out - you know who you are:

1. Name starts with "R" and ends with "andy"

2. Name starts with "D" and ends with "uane"

3. Name starts with "J" and pretty much ends there - you can figure that one out.

We can't have our battle of the sexes without the other sexes present! We need to see you guys out there!! It also it worth noting that the drive-by perv factor has been quite high this week (you know, the guys that drive around, park and then sit there for awhile, then drive off)- a few more men present would certainly add to the safety level.

Peace out.

Sunday, August 26, 2007

Whats your goal?

Sounds like a pretty simple question. Many people have goals, but usually they are nothing more than generalizations. Try being specific as possible when outlining your goals. Yes, this means you need to write them out! Write down every health and fitness related goal you have and then pick out the top 3. These are the ones you will prioritize. Below are some questions you should ask yourself when writing out your goals.

What is it exactly that I want to achieve?
Am I happy with how I currently feel?
What will happen if I continue doing what I have been doing?
Where do I want to see myself in the next 6 weeks, 6 months, and 6 years?

Revealing the myths

You need to exercise to burn fat.

The truth: You don’t gain fat because of lack of exercise. You gain fat because your blood sugar levels exceed what you are using. You are eating too many calories at one time.

Your metabolism slows once you hit 30.

The truth: Significant slowdown in metabolism is due to loss of muscle tissue. The loss of muscle tissue is due to the lack of hard, physical activity.

Pasta and bread are fattening.

The truth: Anything with calories is fattening. Lettuce can be stored as fat. Any food can be stored as fat it the blood sugar levels exceed what the body needs at that time. The key is how much you eat and when you eat it!

These are a few of the myths of fitness and weight control that will help you understand your dietary and physical activity needs.

Tuesday, August 7th

The heat was on but the crew did not wilt!

Today's workout was called Fight Gone Bad!
You can honestly say that you do more before 9AM than most people do all day! You should be proud! I certainly am proud of how hard you've worked. I think most people aren't cut out for what we do! We're taking it up several levels, doing things previously thought not possible. But let me stress to you that you workout to have fun. So, on the weekends take a risk like kayaking, mountain climbing, run a race....maybe a triathlon. I saw a lady who is 76 years young run her 10th Ironman triathlon in a row. She finished in about 15-16 hours. I can't imagine doing any physical activity for that long, but after you set your sights on something like that, you can do anything! it's the high of completion and proving to yourself and others that you did it!
2 circuits

Wall Balls
Ring Rows
Steps
Butt Raises
Jabs w/ weights

2nd circuit

Dumb Bell Flys
Burpees
Jumping Jacks
Push-ups
Jump Rope

Uh, are anybody's arms hurting from those dive-bombers? Yow! I better start lifting or something. Oh, yeah...that volleyball game was fun! Still trying to get sand outta my mouth..blah!
Great mornings up ahead! Remember to register online, my phone and email have been blowing up this weekend. Look for several new faces this camp. I've added a link for recipes to the services page. Look for that info to come soon, it will be the low carb - low calorie way to help our eating habits assist our exercise efforts. Ritefit-bigger and better!

Great news, the August 6th camp is getting a flurry of activity as new members are joining. It looks like the days of a handful are gone! Also, we will be using the World of Gymnastics across the street from Hobgood during those cold months of the year. So you will be able to workout indoors and stay warm and dry!
My-calorie-counter.com is an awesome sight for knowing exactly what you've eaten. You can sign up for free and the data input selection is flexible enough to determine by ounces , slices or whatever. I think you'll be pleased.
