Hey Chuck, Why were all six cars pulling out this morning at 610am when I arrived at the track? Was it because of the 41 degree weather and the fitness dew falling? See you all Monday morning weather permitting!

Ok, I'm convinced boot camp is the BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMBBBBBB!!!!!!! This was my first session, I was walking one night because I was tired of the gym and wanted the fresh air that is when I saw "The Gladiator" with the night crew they were workin out HARD --- In my head I was like WHEW they can have that I will keep doin what I'm doin--- then the next night I saw them again but this time I asked Glady what they were doing and she gave me a flyer --- now to be honest with you I'ma bottom line kinda girl I skipped everything and went straight for the cost turned to my girlfriend (who was walking with me) and said sheesh I'm not payin anyone money to torture me we laughed and I folded the flyer up and put it in my pocket--- Now day 3 I see the same people at the track workin it out --- after my workout I found a flyer on my truck so on my way home I call one of my close friend Marcy Glenn, we were talking about some pretty random stuff and she said it's getting late I have to wake up for boot camp tomorrow ---- I'm like boot camp I heard about it it's at JFK right she said yeah and invited me to go with her at O'dark thirty in the morning (aka 530) --- My response "Marcy you done lost your mind " she told me just like this "Look it's hard but everyone is so nice and Chuck and Fryar are soooo funny you don't even realize that you are doing some crazy stuff, please girl if I can do it you can do it just come out”---- Well I went at the track at 5:15 when I saw Marcy I gave her the look during the first class I was ready to punch her in her mouth for tricking me matter fact she wouldn't even look me in the eyes lol ---- first day the running hmmmm something I haven't done since my soccer days in HIGHSCHOOL (13 years ago) as I jogged for the first time I was thinking that I could run right off the track to my car and roll out however my keys were on the bench so I would get caught had to abort that escape plan during the rest of the class I was thinking of ways to leave without getting caught when I finally got the perfect plan together class was over and I was walking next to my friend (who stayed at arms length cause she knew if she got too close she would have been assaulted) and Marcy smiled and said see you not dead you should join ---- and I did. I have done all the things that I said I could not do I have been pushed passed my limit and now I'm starting to enjoy it I have seen the weight loss I have seen the inch loss (my fav) this morning I put on a pair of 16 jeans with a fitted top and I had no muffin top --- eight weeks ago I was wearing a TIGHT 18 because I refused to go into a 20 ---- I owe all of this to my friend Marcy who got me through the door (hope your ankle gets better sis) and to the BEST trainers Chuck (the happiest man at O'dark thirty in the morn) and Glady (the gladiator who was prepared to save my life with a run to my car for the inhaler) Ya'll are the best I am so thankful to have joined sad I missed this last week but I'm working toward my degree and had to change my work schedule this week ---- I can't wait til the 14th to do it all again Boot camp has changed my appearance --- my health my sugar levels have been at an all time low since diagnosed in 2006. YAAAAAAAAY BOOTCAMP lol And a special thanks to Mr. Bill who would not let me quit Erica --- hopefully I can make it out tomorrow morning I have class in Cherry Hill at 8 maybe I’ll just go funky lol

Hi campers. This story will be in our next newsletter, but Mr. Barksdale wanted me to post it here as well: Becoming a better me I ran four laps around a track for the first time in about 20 years recently. (OK, an admission: I didn't run all four at once. Two consecutively, then two more a little later). That may not be a big deal to you, but it's a huge deal to someone who's been pretty sedentary -- except for doing some walking here or there and a few stints at the gym -- for the last two decades. As a former college athlete, I was once in tip-top shape. I remember the days when I could run a mile in less than 7 minutes and 15 seconds. Now, running that same mile would probably take me twice as long. But, what I came to realize when I started the Irving Fryar Fitness Camp about six weeks ago is, I can't be the same me that I was 20 years ago. It's not physically possible. So, instead of trying to get as fit as I was at 22, I need to just be the best 43 year old that I can be. Once I had that realization, everything changed in my workout. It's not about trying to match what I did in college, it's about being healthy and getting fit for right now. It means eating better, exercising and making better choices healthwise. It means taking better care of myself. It means getting proper rest, listening to my body (when I'm hurting too badly, I take a day off, stretch and get back at it the next day). It means not smoking and keeping any drinking to a minimum, maybe a glass of wine here or there. Also, when I'm out at fitness camp, I don't try to keep up with anybody else. My motto is: Do the best you can do. Or as Reverend Run says: "Do your best, and forget the rest." Maybe wisdom really does come with age, because thinking about things in a different way has really made a difference in my workout. I don't feel defeated or deflated anymore because I am not able to do what I could do. Sure, I'm definitely going to get in better shape than I am right now. That's a given if I keep working out the way that I am. But, I don't have to compare myself to anybody else -- not even my younger self. I just have to do my best each and every time I go out there and leave the rest alone!! Celeste E. Whittaker

I checked my e-mail-aypg54@yahoo.com and didn't receive the meal plan. The news letter was great so you see I do get some things. Iwork the old plan. Alvina

I have not received the new revised meal plan

GM Battle Buddies & trainers. I missed you guys this morning but can't wait 4 the evenin wrkout. Like the BB below, I also still have not received the meal plan so here are the 2 email addresses that can be used: southnjgirl@yahoo.com or njbison99@yahoo.com. See you tonite :o)

I did not get the revised meal plan today....

I am so glad a LFCC member told me about the Fitness Camp. Since joining 14JUL09, I am feeling more energetic, flexible and my body composite is tighter. I enjoy the circuit training and lap runs however; I do not enjoy the tardy people who show up late increasing the number of jumping jacks the rest of the TEAM has to do on their behalf. Other than the Team Irving, keep up the good work and see you tomorrow!

Sorry for the delay in reporting this information. I did a combination run/jog for 3 laps last Friday.

I ran 3 laps and walked 1/2 a lap barefoot.

I ran 3 laps on friday...I tell you I feel great and what a difference the last 3 weeks have made. I didnt think I would feel the change so fast.

I ran 4 laps and boy was that a challenge!!!!

I ran 4 laps on Friday!

I jogged 3 laps on Friday!

4 Laps

I ran 3 laps.

I ran 3 laps in the time given, but could have done more, as we who finished in the front waited at least another 2 minutes or more for others to finish. This is a great program, although my body is SORE!

I know that I ran 2 maybe 3 I wasn't counting. I went to Target on 541 and got a mat. It is a Reebok Premier Excercise Mat. But it was $28.99. Is that the one that Chuck was talking about, or did I purchase the wrong one?

I ran 4 laps

I ran 4 laps and enjoyed all but the last one. Boot Camp is tough!

I ran 3 laps, thanks Bill B. for helping me!

I ran 3 laps. Thank you.

i ran four laps today

Hello battle buddies. Thursday mid morning I was in the back yard cutting extended roots from a tree that was growing close if not in the foundation of my house. I used the back of a claw hammer to lift it out of the ground and got under the root with my hands, and pulled it up along its trail. I pulled up 2 long 3 inch round and healthy roots and a few small long extensions. I cut the end of the long thick roots with a saw. Thank to those upper body work outs I barely broke a sweat. I did not labor in my breathing and the work was a cinch. Thank you trainers. On my way to a stronger me. Renovating God's temple!

today 7/24/09 Alvina ran 4 laps. I am a poet and wrote a book "Listen with your Heart". I will be selling them for $10.00 after camp with an autograph.

I cheated tonight, and had some vanilla ice cream. . .somebody check me so I won't do it again!

Hey to all of you that were out there this morning - in the rain! WOOO HOOOO! I had a blast. It was a lot of fun. The rain can't never stop me now! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

Hey all! I am having a great time working it out with all of you in the morning! When I don't go, I feel so slow and sluggish all day. Thanks to all the coaches (even you, Marcie, eventhough I hate running!), you all are doing a great job in keeping me focused and encouraged. I may be married to Trouble... I mean the greatest fitness trainer this side of the Mississippi...but I have my battles to fight, too. And one of them is whipping my body into shap and submission! I am working toward that SuperWoman status! See y'all 2 morrow! Marcie, seriously, you are doing a great job. I cannot tell you that I was ever able to run a mile and you have got me doing that! Thanks for the tips and encouragment lap after lap!

I like it, I love it, I want more of it :)

Someone inadvertently took my mat yesterday from the morning session. It is purple, with my name on each corner in red -- Ackles. Please return on Thursday -- no questions asked. Thanks!

Bill had talked to me for weeks about the Fryar Fitness Camp, but I was reluctant to come out. I was thinking hardcore bootcamp, and I just couldn't see myself doing something like that. I joined the game late, but I loved it from Day 1. Everyone is so upbeat, positive and friendly and you are basically encouraged to just do YOUR best. The beauty of it is, they realize that everyone is at different levels. I definitely recommend the camp. I just had my first day of the second session and I'm in it to win it.

What a rewarding experience! Beginning a fitness program at the age of 50, Yes! No matter what the age or level of fitness TODAY is the DAY to change your life! You can do this. You are Worth it. Thank you Glady, Chuck and Mr. Fryar "with an 'A' not an 'E' because that's a chicken" and Marcy who put the thought in my head months before it began. You are the BEST TEAM of Trainers - you're encouraging; pushy when encouragement fails (lol) and FUNNY!!! You make it worth getting up so early in the morning! My life has changed in the last eight weeks. I wake up every morning thanking Father for this day and grab my workout bag and head to the gym. It seems to be the "Fit" thing to do now. Bootcamp is tough - sore legs; abs; arms "glutes" - the result is priceless! See you all next session!!!!

I missed my battle buddies. Woke up at $:30 with no where to go this morning. Walking around the track not the same without my peeps. Plus I need my fruit salad to make it through Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hey Campers! I missed you this morning when I jogged 5 laps, walked 9 laps. Thanks battle buddy Theresa Buxton for jogging 3 laps with me. The real news is this, did anyone watch the BET Awards last night? There was a commercial about an upcoming food show and the teacher of that show is our camper WILMA! GO WILMA!!! Everyboduy on national tv saw you! Too bad she wasn't wearing a BOOT CAMP T-SHIRT! (smile)

Thank you Bill Barksdale for having this vision! Thank you Chuck for making us do jumping jacks, llama moves, push-ups, etc.! Thank you Gladiator for the various ab workouts and lunges! Thank you Marcia for the jogging/running techniques! Thank you Rey for the jogging / running tips! Thank you Joe for the KARATE! My husband is still scared and I only learned about five moves! Thank you Rev. Fryar for allowing us to have this BOOT CAMP in your name and mostly for the football drills you make us over 21 ladies do (smile)! This has been a very exciting 8 weeks for me and I appreciate all of my battle buddies for everything!!! Much love & respect to you all!

I am proud of my Saturday runners. 4 miles running and 1 walking. Did you think you would be doing 5 miles wth both feet off the ground at the sametime 7 weeks ago. Thanks Marcia and Rey for all of the tips and motivation. And sorry for not telling you all how far we were going to run. Did not want to scare you with the distance because I had faith that you would complete the run..

Last night I went out to dinner with my family to celebrate our family graduates, when I walked in everyone starting commenting on how good I looked. A few asked, what have you been doing? I proudly said, "BOOT CAMP", want some! lol Even after only 4 wks and the all the PAINFUL exercises I can see and feel a big difference in my body. THANKS BOOT CAMP! I feel wonderful.

Rain, Rain, go away!!!! I'm tired of the rain early in the morning. I know we need rain for the flowers, but this is getting out of hand.

Did anyone by chance find an IPOD at the track this morning. If yes, it is mine.

if you say this word you will drop 50 JJ's from the total due just for Monday thr 15th of June.

Hey Fitness Buddies, I'm so excited about the last 7 weeks, ( I started a week after everybody). I feel better, have some much needed energy and excercising is exciting again. ( Yes Chuck, I said it!) I wanted to share some recipes with you for Veggie/Fruit week. Check out the essence site: http://www.essence.com/recipes/dinner/info/whitebeanandkalesoup/. Also, Bryant Terry is an African American vegan with a new book: Vegan Soul Kitchen. There are some creative recipes in there but you will probably have to use tofu which Chuck is allowing next week. Okay; have a blessed evening and see you in the grass!

This boot camp is one of God's blessings to me. He knows what we need always and placed me on that track to find my new family of battle buddies

Well did we get our "llama" on!!! my legs and knees are KILLING me!! I can't tell if its my knee or shin that keeps cracking when I walk. My co-worker/battle buddy (who did not show up today!!) keeps laughing. See you tomorrow if I can walk , because you know you tigthen up overnight and theres not enough ice in the world for the pain I am feeling. Thanks C & E

Will we have a session on Monday, May 25th?

Today was weigh-in and I think Chuck had his foot on the scale!! It was soooo easy to put the weight on but so hard to take it off but I going to give it my best. I want to loose at least 15 pounds by the end of the session. I know "both feet off the ground". lol

I am ready to get in shape!!
