Welcome New Year and New Decade 2020

Contact Alicia at Awinningway@gmail.com to join the 2020 Self Defense Archery Program for ages 6-18.

Back by Popular Demand in 2020…Self Defense Archery in Central Florida!
Learn all the RIGHT MOVES and COMPETE TOO! Click here for more info.

Alicia began 2020 by re-setting a Recordsetter world record she held for 3 years, but she made it even tougher… It is the consecutive staircase pull-up record with 15 steps per rep. She first set record on 1/20/2017 with 10 reps… Now, see the new benchmark.

2019 RECAP: The Red Rubies won their 6th Team Title in the Archery Fitness League out of 10 Championships. For the first time, a Groveland boy (From Growling Tigers Team) won the individual Championship title and led his team to their best team finish of second place out of 5 teams. Returning multi-champion, Raven, of Team Anime utilized Qigong to take a big lead and win after holding a 3-way tie with two other girls. The anticipation for the Spring 2020 Self Defense Archery season is very high after everyone aced the self defense and greatly improved their archery in the fall.

Alicia “World Record” Weber excelled in her sports. She added her 18th individual sport in 2019 and competed in her 8th World Championship in the 2019 World SkiErg Sprints (1,000 meter). She only trained for 6 weeks and had weekly massage to help recover and perform her best in minimal amount of time to learn a new skill. She met her time goal for her first ever 1k race and placed 167th in the world out of 748 women!!

Alicia weighing in at only 112 pounds competed in the skiErg where extra weight adding momentum can be a competitive advantage. Alicia focused on using proper form engaging her core and triceps properly and came through the 1,000 meters in 4:25.9 to place 167th out of 748 women in the world.

Alicia moved on to setting more challenging records this year. She was not setting records at the pace she was previously accustomed to (one record every 42 hours). LOL She slowed down her pace to focus on developing more challenging workout record categories termed “World Record Weber Record Breaking Workouts”… In these workouts she may need to break a current record and then add more new records within the workout. Her goal was to set one a month. She ended year with 14 new record breaking workout records. You can follow these workouts at the link below.

World Record Weber Record Breaking Workout Playlist based on Most Popular Views at Top.

Members of Alicia’s Archery Fitness League can partake in many special opportunities throughout the year such as developing Improv Comedy, competing in different sports outside archery, working on their Art skills, attending group sporting events, and learning many other skill sets.

First Wellness-themed Team Race in Clermont, Florida Big Success

By The Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Alicia Weber, Honorary Chairperson for Inaugural Clermont MADD 5k and Mile Walk/Run event

CLERMONT, FL—On Sept 15, 2018, Alicia Weber, was the Honorary Chairperson for the first Wellness-themed “Team” race in Clermont (known as a world-class race destination). She had approx 30 athletes attend and become “Trendsetters for Wellness” where her mom volunteered.

The goal of the 1 mile and 5k races was to create an awareness and culture for fitness and wellness. It starts with caring.

Alicia’s mom, Carol Weber, lost her brother to drunk driver and she lost her mother when she was seventeen. These negative situations gave her the greatest motivation of her life as she pursued a 30 year career in the medical field. She was the stronghold for her family with her inner-strength to overcome obstacles. She instilled in Alicia at an early age the motivation to set high standards for herself and others.

Alicia teaches people to become determined and relentless to achieve results as no one can argue with results. Make a Positive Difference.

Watch the Race and “Trendsetters for Wellness”… Race then Ceremony starts @ 7:30

The first wellness race brought over 140 competitors. Alicia had 36 individuals complete a fitness makeover and race challenge (although about 10 only did the fitness makeover part). The fitness makeover consisted of a pre-race waist line health check, two minute knee tuck test, and two minute shoulder width grip pushup test. There were modified and advanced ways to do the exercises, but only the advanced ways were allowed for Overall Titles (except for Adult Female Title). The max score was 400 points.

Three teams (12 on each team competed for most points). Additionally, there were 4 individuals recognized for Top Points.

Alicia’s Team of kids and their parents representing her Archery, Fitness, Sport League placed First with 2,686 points. Dylan with 340 points and Jane with 242 points won the Overall Youth Titles with most points in the advanced exercises.

Praise Temple Christian Academy Team Placed Second with 2,424 points.

The 3 A’s representing Michael Spartz Financial Advisor, Advocare, and AdComm Placed Third with 1,880 points.
Michael Spartz a Financial Advisor Won Overall Adult Male with 257 points and Claire Vaccaro of Advocare Won Overall Adult Female with 193 points.

“It’s really good to exercise your whole body, while having fun. People are good at different exercises, so this gives them the opportunity to stand up for Health and Wellness, while showing how healthy they are,” said the young Joe Arnold, the 1st person to be tested in the fitness makeover.

“It’s a great idea because it gives people goals in a team atmosphere. It’s goal setting and achieving something,” stated Michael Spartz, a Top Orlando financial advisor.

“It’s a very well put together and organized event,” said Ron Smart of the 3 A’s, an experienced event organizer and founder of AdComm and an Advocare Rep.

Meet the Individual Winners in this short video

The event opened doors for people to take their physical fitness seriously. Physical fitness has to be everyone’s goal, since a life of ease causes disease. Stay alive with Exercise.
