November 2, 2010–Alicia Weber’s tricep muscles were excited and drooling over a final challenge!  She decided to test herself at the toughest type of 2-arm and 2-leg pushups for endurance – 30 -minutes of Tricep Pushups.  She already holds world records in a variety of regular 2-arm pushups and one-arm pushups categories.  However, tricep pushups are not a record cateogry, and she is just doing these tricep pushups for fun in the vieo below!  In 2010, Alicia ends her year with a record 24 world records in strength, speed, and endurance verified by the Book of Alternative Records and featured in World Record Holder’s Republic the registry for Human Achievement World Record Holders.

Tricep Pushup Hand Pushup
Tricep Pushup Hand Position

The tricep pushups for endurance isolate the 3 tricep muscles (medial head, lateral head, and long head of the tricep m.).  Maxing out and going for 30-minutes is VERY challenging on the triceps AND the ABS as they stabilize the core and keep a straight body position.  Rules:  Tricep Pushups must be performed on a hard surface, arms start in full extension, and end bent with chest touching floor as hands are held in a triangle position (as shown here).  Legs stay straight with no lifting of the hips.  Rest breaks are allowed.

Watch Alicia “World Record” Weber do 556 tricep pushups in 30-minutes.  Enjoy!

I was first nicknamed “The Machine” in high school when I would run and win cross country races and track and field races from sprint to long distances. I became a 2 x All-American in the 10,000 meters, while in high school at Junior Nationals and I medaled at National Championships in events from 1,500m -10,000 meter runs and 5k cross country.  The nickname of “The Machine” continues as I have over 400 world records in strength, speed, and endurance, and I am a professional fitness trainer.

I graduated from University of Florida where I was a letter winner in Track and Cross Country. I have B.S. degrees in Biology and Communication.  I was then in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program to expand my specialty of aquatic therapy.  My clients also refer to me as “The Machine” as I train with each and every one of them to motivate them.  When I am not training people, I am training myself in world record setting or training for the 17 sports I compete in on an elite level.  I am really W-I-L-D  about exercise and physical fitness!!!

I must warn you though – I do have an alter ego and I get the urges at times to get off the athletic field and get ON STAGE!  I have been an entertainer for a variety of acts for years!   I am most known for my “One Woman Shows” where I combine “character comedy” with strength feats! I perform Live and I have a line of shows here.  Here’s a preview of my 7 character comedy show.

My creative energies carry over into other areas as well.  I am an author, illustrator, and poet.  I published my first book on marine biology and my second book on physical fitness is found here. You can learn more about me as the athlete here and as the fitness professional here.

Now, let’s crank the engine and see what a human performance machine can do…Below are my world records in over 27 categories of exercises (the exercise world records are listed alphabetically). I keep re-setting my own records and I garner new ones.

* NOTE:  Starting in 2012, I am setting world records exclusively with RecordSetter.com, the world’s fastest growing world record book where I also compete with men for overall world records.  I set over 50 world records for women with The Book of Alternative Records from 2008 -2011 – those records are listed below.  CLICK HERE for Alicia’s RecordSetter World Records.

VERY IMPORTANT: Below are my 60+ entries in the Book of Alternative Records from 2008-2011.  I will continue these categories now at RecordSetter, so to stay up with the latest records visit me at www.recordsetter.com/user/aliciaweber

About Catalina Calisthenics with class Details:  

Catalina Calisthenics at Halloween Party

I grew up on a Tennessee farm where I would spend my days trotting with thoroughbreds, hurdling over big pigs, and leaping over haystacks!  You wouldn’t catch me pigging out or hitting the hay though!  I was wide awake and ready to go with my rear in gear!  I fell in love with the sport of track and field where I always had a “shoe in & a leg up” on the competition!  Now, don’t get me mixed up with “Catalina Cathouse” my coach’s wife.  That Catalina began running to chase men!  I was running, jumping, and throwing for the passion of the sport!  Then, when I over threw the shot put at the SEC Conference Championships I decided to  get a little more “elbow grease” and put a little more arm into things!

Back in Jan 2010, I was a V.I.P at a 3 day Strength of Feats and Arm Wrestling Show where strongmen lined up to take me on!  I had a blast and wanted to stay longer so I arm wrestled the guest for another night’s stay at the Bellagio. I won the match and celebrated at the Vegas Clubs where I boogied on the dance floor and showed off my best moves in a BIG way!  Well, now I am in Clermont, Florida, for Halloween and I really want to liven’ things up and teach you some new moves! I have a creative, fun, and FREE exercise class I am hosting at Clermont Waterfront Park on Saturday, October 30th 2010 from 9:30am – 10:30am.  Come on down and “Huff and Puff in your Halloween Stuff” to my class called “Howl-O-Lean” exercise class!!  All abilities welcome!

She took 2 inches off her waist, lost 6lbs, & gained a lifestyle change in just 14 days!

Jenni was the lone participant in the Inaugural 14 Day Fat Flush Fitness Rush where she took 2 inches off her waist and lost 6 lbs!!  She calls this 2-week program a life changer! 

Congratulations Jenni!!

 

Now, let’s talk to Jenni about her 14-day journey with “Fat Flush Fitness Rush”.

Q.  Knowing that you have done Weight Watchers and other fat loss programs before, how does “Fat Flush Fitness Rush” compare? 

Jenni answers,  “It doesn’t!  Fat Flush Fitness Rush is in a league all of its own!  It’s the hardest I worked in 2-weeks straight. I was capable of doing everything, but it is twice the intensity given that workouts are on the beach!  I get twice more out of the program though!”

Q.  Would you recommend this program? 

Jenni answers, “Yes, absolutely – you have to already be living an active lifestyle though or you are kidding yourself. If you are already active, you will get that much more confidence!  If you aren’t already living an active lifestyle, you are setting yourself up for failure.  If you can’t hang with the BIG DOGS, stay on the porch!” 

Jenni adds, “If you aren’t bringing your “A Game” don’t try!  Fat Flush Fitness Rush is NOT for the weak-minded.”

 

 

 

Q.  You were the lone participant for this inaugural program.  What was your motivation to do it?

Jenni answers,  “I trust Alicia with my workouts and nutrition plans and I know I will get success and lifestyle change with Alicia and I am ready to go!!”

Q.  What are some changes you made and do you think you will continue to improve after the 2-week period? 

Jenni answers, “For the 1st time in 20 years I went 2-weeks without Diet Soda.  I replaced my candy and sweets with fruit and yogurt and I am satisfying my sweet tooth that way!  I used to snack after dinner and that bad habit went out the window!  This 2-week program has improved my sleep patterns and my body wants to be on a schedule (no staying up late) and it carries over to increased endurance in my workouts.  I couldn’t manage 1 suicide run on Day 1.  By Day 13, I did 5 suicide runs in a row and with each one my times got faster!  I absolutely want to continue this healthy lifestyle and my taste buds and muscles want me to continue too!!”

Q.  Have you been able to adopt some new healthy habits? 

Jenni answers, “ I call this Fat Flush Fitness Rush a “2-week Lifestyle Changer”.  In 2-weeks time I got the tools I needed to continue with a new healthy lifestyle.  There’s NO BAND AID SLAPPING – There’s NO QUICK FIX! ”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jenni’s final words, “Fat Flush Fitness Rush is about real positive long-lasting change!”  Keep Your “A Game” ON follow Alicia on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/awinningwayFollow Alicia on Facebook

Just hitting the gym 3 times a week makes a person feel better, but the people that do that PLUS get tested in physical fitness get SO MUCH MORE out of fitness and LIFE!!

A top finisher in Alicia’s “2010 Toughest Fitness Challenge” said that the physical fitness testing is where she learned her strengths and weaknesses.  Going to the gym regularly, she never knew where she stood head to toe.  Now, she knows where she stands and is better because of her fitness challenge!

Alicia “World Record” Weber says, ”All walks of life can benefit from a fitness challenge no matter if you are behind the desk working all day or in the military.  However, if you are in the military or police, I feel you should do a fitness challenge yearly to stay on top of your game.”

Clyde works at the computer by day, but is there for his workouts at night.  He won 2 fitness challenges with Alicia so far.  He knows he will stretch himself and it is fun to see how far you can go under Alicia’s tutelage.

Alicia says, “Although people may hear ‘physical fitness testing’ and feel their stomachs churn and want to avoid the topic, my ‘tests’ are not regimented and mundane.  They can actually be pretty fun.”

Clyde just competed and won a “Lungfish Challenge” which consisted of an aquatic long jump, water intervals, and others.  Once one challenge is done, he is ready for another! 

Alicia gives Clyde a Pop Quiz for Spiderman Pushups and challenges him to 24 reps (his current best is 14 reps)!  He is preparing for Alicia’s January 2011 Fitness Challenge!

Clyde comments on his physical fitness excitement, “I love the adrenaline rush, goal setting, and competition. It is an individual competition to test myself and I trust Alicia to sculpt my body and be able to do things I can’t imagine doing.  Alicia is an ‘exercise artist’ with each exercise and workout preparing one for a bigger goal and achievement.”

A retired S.W.A.T police sniper believes yearly physical fitness testing is a MUST.  He trains under Alicia and recently won a competitive shooting competition. He has been challenged in a 3-min Aerobic Step Test and ab endurance challenges and he hopes to take part in Alicia’s next fitness challenge.  He believes being retired is about traveling and being able to climb the Great Wall of China or a mountain in France, if you wish.  You don’t want to come into retirement over-worked, bedridden, and unable to enjoy life because you left your physical fitness to the dogs! 

The retired S.W.AT police sniper says, “When you are out of shape as a police officer you are not only letting yourself down, but your partner.  Physical fitness has been shown to improve shooting, fighting, and the ability to handle stress.  Alicia’s workouts and fitness challenges are about all-around physical fitness and well being. She tailors the workouts to individual’s needs from beginner to advanced.”

Jenni has this book and keeps re-reading it.  This is a book she keeps reviewing as she logs her eating habits and workout results.

Alicia Weber’s claim to fame might be her 30+ World Records in Strength and Endurance and her 60 victories among 10-sports, but her business is helping people in all areas of health, nutrition, and physical fitness and taking them to a whole new level!

She takes her 15+ years of serious athletic experiences and education and creates unique programs.  She has a popular personal training program that is geared for a busy person that does not want to spend hours working out and watching everything they eat.  Alicia says,”Thrity minutes a week commitment is the minimum needed to see results.”

For those in a rush, Alicia has a 2-week “Fat Flush Fitness Rush” program that has been successful and fun, but intense.  Jenni Satterfield participates in both programs with her husband Clyde.  Jenni says this about personal training with Alicia, “Alicia is an incredible trainer that believes in you, even when YOU don’t believe in yourself. She’s by your side doing the exercises with you during your session. She’s creative and thorough with her training. You’ll rarely do the same exercise twice, so there’s no chance you’ll get bored with your personal sessions. She has YOUR best interest in mind, carefully choosing exercises to focus on your needs & working on the goals that you’ve set for yourself.”

Jenni adds, “I took a session of “Fat Flush Fitness Rush” and Alicia pushed us to the next level. She won’t let you give up because she’s constantly encouraging you & she does the same exercises with you! I can now understand how just 14 days in the “Fat Flush Fitness Rush” program will give you positive results!”

Alicia has a sport nutrition program for all types of athletes.  One athlete is featured and he found Alicia’s guidance to be crucial in getting him to the next level in elite triathlon and running.  Alicia also has nutrition programs for non-athletes and she hosts regular fitness challenges to keep people focused on goals.

Clyde  Satterfield won a recent 4-week “Lungfish Challenge” that consisted primarily of tough water workouts.  Clyde says,  “I was very skeptical of Alicia’s water workouts. I didn’t expect to get much out of them at all. I’m a guy & I like to be in the gym! Well, she proved me wrong. I was impressed with Alicia’s workouts & the results they produced. It’s a nice change of pace from the gym. I highly recommend her aquatic training and Lungfish Challenge.  She makes them fun, but even more challenging.”

Also in the “Lungfish Challenge” the 4th place finisher was also on Alicia’s nutrition program and she took off a record 3 inches off her waist in 4-weeks!

Alicia’s programs cover all areas from aquatic therapy rehab to high intensity sport performance training.  She has worked with people ages 4-97 yrs old.  Here is a short list of some programs available in Lake County Florida (outside of the ones listed above):  water aerobics, dance classes, aquatic therapy, martial arts conditioning, programs to get military and cops in shape to pass the fitness tests, balance and coordination training, programs for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and diabetes, “Weight Loss by Water” program for obesity, running and triathlon coaching, and programs for better golf.
Alicia has ongoing programs in Lake County Florida and she can be reached   at  Awinningway@gmail.com  or on Facebook.

Talking Abs with Endurance Sit-Up World Record Holder – Alicia Weber

Due to recent requests by my fans, I made a 10-minute non-stop sit-up video (shown above) where the sit-ups get increasingly more difficult as time goes by. Sit-up endurance is definitely a measure of many muscles not just the Abs.  For one, a strong back is needed to sustain endurance and proper form in sit-ups.  Proper form is defined as legs bent and held down, arms bent and immovable with fingers placed above the ears.  Chin is away from the chest with a forward head placement.

For a rep to count – medial elbow on both arms must cross the lateral knee on both legs (back is perpendicular to ground at apex of situp) and then the lower back must flatten and touch floor. This is how to perform proper form situps for fitness tests.

Sit-ups are contraindicated for many people including those with spinal arthritis, back spasms, back injuries, low back pain, posture problems, weak backs, etc.  Back pain is the 2nd most common neurological ailment in the U.S. and over 50 billion a year is spent on back relief accordng to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes.  The first step in reducing back problems are finding the causes and taking steps to back pain relief and those answers are found on my page -  Time to Back-up and Re-Group!

A weak, sore, and fatigued back will be the first to give out during sit-ups.  The bending of the knees make the abdominal muscles work more as the upward pull of the torso from lying position to the bent knees involves the following abdominal muscles and other muscle groups:

1.)     The first 30-45 degrees (lifting the shoulder blades off the ground with full compression of the rectus abdominis m. ) involves external and internal obliques muscles acting like a corset as they tighten and flex around the rib cage.  The rectus abdominis m. is compressed.

2.)    Then moving from 45 degrees to full sit (where medial elbows touch lateral knees) are where the hip flexors become involved in the pull to sit and there is a high compressive load placed on the lumbar spine (where back extensor muscle strength is important or else one could risk injury).  In the initial pull phase, the hip flexors can lift the trunk from a lying posture toward the front of the leg in a sit-up.  These hip flexors include the iliacus m. and psoas major m. (flexes and laterally rotates thigh), tensor fascia lata m. (an abductor), and the pectineus m. (an adductor). Then, the rectus femoris m. and sartorius m. join in as they are the only muscles in the quadriceps muscle group involved as hip flexors. They originate at the pelvis and are involved with leg flexion as the hip crosses the pelvic femoral joint.

3.)    Going from full sit to about 45 degrees down the hip flexors are once again involved as well as the abdominal stabilizing muscles.  The tensor fascia lata m. assists with abduction, internal rotation, and flexion of the hip, as well as trunk stabilization.  *Controlling the back and maintaining proper posture are key especially in this phase (you don’t want to just fall back!!).  The back extensor muscles (mainly the erector spinae and multifidus muscles) are the main source for posterior stability for the spine and they oppose the force of gravity as they maintain erect posture and control forward flexion during a sit-up.

4.)    Finally from 45 degrees down to flattening of the back on the ground, the rectus abdominis m. goes from flexion to full length extension.  The rectus abdominis m. is a long abdominal muscle that begins at the pubis with the muscle fibers extending vertically and attaching to the cartilages of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ribs (on the front part of the trunk).

Are Sit-ups really a good exercise and why do them?  Sit-ups are not a good exercise for everybody.  As stated in the 3rd paragraph, sit-ups are a No-No for anyone with any kind of back problem or back weakness.  Sit-ups are excellent exercise for a regular exerciser that does regular abdominal exercise and back strengthening  exercises.  Endurance sit-ups are a good challenge for hip flexors, back, and abdominal muscle groups. Although the emphasis should be abdominals with minimal hip flexor muscles working as in proper form sit-ups shown here.  Sit-ups can cover the full length of the rectus abdominis muscle in a way that can’t be achieved in a crunch or ab curl, or other (low back held down) ab exercise.   Your rectus abdominis m. and back should feel really stretched out, relaxed, and strengthened after sit-ups if you are conditioned and doing them properly.

Alicia Weber holds a 30-minute sit-up world record and she set the world record in the form explained above.  She is an Official World Record Holder published in The Book of Alternative Records , Believe the Unbelievable: the Ultimate Book of World Records and the People who Pursue Them , and others.

Natural News Show Review: Serious Strength for EVERY Body

By:  Alicia Weber, Fitness Expert with YourHealthUpdates.com 

I listened to a very captivating free show on Natural News with Host Jonathan Landsman interviewing Peter Ragnar.  I thought I would share some of the exciting and uplifting strength tips I received as Peter Ragnar shared his knowledge on strength that he gained from his education and from being a disciplined martial artists for over 50 years!

The # 1 problem with many people is negative, false conditioning.  If you feel arthritis setting in or get a back pain, some assume that it means they are getting old.  That’s negative conditioning.  How about asking yourself if you are stressed or if you have exercised lately?  Those two can be the answers to the problem.  Erase false conditioning!  How?  Get up and get moving!!!  Get the endorphins going and increase your energy level.  Even the simplest movements can be a start in the right direction – push the vacuum or just start with chair exercises.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9-6Ya0z1Uw

It is a negative mindset that decays the body of strength.  As a person can get older muscle mass is lost, not because it should be lost.  It is lost because a person programs their mind that they should be weak because they are getting older and they don’t push themselves in strength exercises anymore.  Their muscles disintegrate at an alarming rate!  Deconditioning leads to decay=decrepit body=disease

Some may say,” I am elderly and I am afraid to move because I may break a bone!  Why should I build strength?”

Building muscle tissue produces body heat, which is important to elderly.  In general at any age, blood flow becomes sluggish with lack of exercise and people will not get nutrients to organs in a timely manner.  Building strength builds bone density, which builds strong bones.  It’s not about heavy lifting.  Building strength is about being capable of doing many daily activities with ease (i.e. hiking, climbing stairs, moving furniture, opening jars, carrying groceries, walking the dog, bicycling long distances, pulling weeds, and gardening, etc).  If you pull a weed and are worn out, then you are withering away and need to get your strength program revamped!

Are you struggling to exercise and unable to move forward in a strength program?
Your priority should be to become all that you can be in the gym and out of the gym.  When you take control of your body, you are empowered and that is motivation to get moving! 

What should my goals be in an exercise program to build strength?
*  Never compete with anybody except yourself.
*  Understand how stresses can effect your body.  If you have the right motivations- that alone will keep stress away.  *  Rest between each exercise session.
*  Don’t look in the mirror and notice how fat you are (if you are fat), but look in the mirror and visualize what you want to become and take note of positive changes like toning up.
*  Relax, take your time with exercise and you will get benefits and results.  Exercise + Rest = Body Growth

Strength TRUE or FALSE
1.)  A little exercise is good, A LOT is better – FALSE
2.)  Strength is needed in the heart, legs, arms, mind, and lungs to do anything – TRUE
3.)  Strength expands enjoyment in life and strengthens muscles, bone, tendons, and ligaments – TRUE

Are You up for a Fitness Challenge in Central Florida? Personal Trainer has Fun & Challenging Fitness Programs in Orlando Florida

CLERMONT, FLORIDA— Alicia’s Fitness Challenge concluded in flying colors as the top three finishers received tie-dyed shirts, improved fitness in all 5 areas of physical fitness, and much more!!  Throughout Central Florida businesses and individuals alike could register for free and do Alicia’s 12-week fitness challenge, while they were on a personal training program.

Alicia Weber is a fitness trainer of 12-years that is described as energetic, enthusiastic, and full of surprises! Alicia challenged fitness enthusiasts with a 12-week fitness challenge that consisted of 28 exercises worth 5 to 50 points and the exercises increased in difficulty every week as the point value increased.

Some believed the fitness challenge couldn’t be that challenging and they signed up only to drop out during the first week.  Others thought they would never be able to complete the difficult exercises in the later weeks of the challenge.

One female retired Law Enforcement Officer stayed optimistic and said, “If I am training with Alicia Weber anything is possible.  I know Alicia well because I trained with her longer than any of the other participants and I keep working and improving fitness with Alicia. I want to stay in shape during retirement!”  The challenge requires a mental toughness and this retired Law Enforcement Officer proved she not only had mental toughness, but the physical fitness to win this challenge!

Twelve began the challenge and only 4 finished the challenge.  All of the men dropped out.  Men and women competed in the same exercises with the same point values.

Alicia describes her challenge by saying, “I don’t expect people to get a perfect score.  They will get great successes and they will have to handle failures too.  Everything in this challenge is out of reach, but I will train them to put things in reach as they put out some effort.  They all train only 1 hour a week with me and then they are given some ‘exercise homework’ to complete.  This challenge will test their mental toughness and at the same time improve one in all 5 areas of physical fitness (cardio, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, abdominal strength/endurance, and balance/coordination).”

Retired Law Enforcement Officer Wins Fitness Challenge!

The retired Law Enforcement Officer pictured here won with an incredible 85% cumulative score and a perfect score in abdominal strength and endurance.  The total possible points one could earn is 685 points.  All the women performed 10 men’s pushups in a row by the 5th week.   The women and men strived to perform 24 consecutive spiderman pushups to earn 50pts by the 12th week.  No one met that goal, but several women got partial credit for doing 4 spiderman pushups in a row.  The winner tackled the hardest exercises with class and blew away Alicia’s standards on a few of them including the 3 Minute Ab Curl Up (she did 150 reps in 2 and half minutes and she only needed to do 105 reps to get 50 pts).  Since she was past the mark of 105 reps to earn her 50pts, she stopped at 150 reps and saved her energies to attack other exercises.

Retired Law Enforcement Officer Wins Fitness Challenge

The winner comments on her fitness challenge win and the benefits she achieved by saying, “If I listened to Alicia, concentrated on what Alicia was teaching me, and followed her techniques, then the possibility to improve in 12-weeks was there.  When I put the effort out, the improvements came naturally.  I was surprised at what I did.”

Alicia commends all those that completed her fitness challenge, which has been her toughest.  All four finishers received awards.  Additionally, the top 3 finishers received a special tie-dyed shirt and they won a free copy of Alicia’s new book on physical fitness, which is now available as an ebook at AliciaWeber.com/fit!

Are you up for a challenge?  Alicia has summer fitness challenges called the “Lungfish Challenge,” which last several weeks and combine water and land training.  If you wish to enroll, contact Alicia at Awinningway@gmail.com
