Challenge 1: 50 pull-ups + 100 push-ups This is a popular youtube challenge and a long-time fan wanted World Record Weber (WRW) to take on this challenge (where the best guy performed it in 3:26). In each challenge, WRW uses strict form and does 100 consecutive pushups, but that is not required in the youtube challenge (rest breaks allowed). This challenge is the shortest of the three challenges. She saw the most improvement in the shortest amount of time with this challenge.

50 Pull-ups and 100 pushup progession videos starting at 4:23.7 and ending at 2:51.9 (from 10/18/22 – 11/28)

In 42 days (1 month, 11 days) WRW improved by 34.82 percent in this short challenge. Here is the rundown:
10/18/22 performed after a running interval workout in the initial time of 4:23.7
10/23/22 performed in 3:19
10/24/22 performed first thing in morning 3:09.7 continuing with her next second challenge (6 minutes later) with the 210 rep aerobic challenge in 11:31
11/28/22 performed first thing in morning in 2:51.9 continuing with her next second challenge (6 minutes later) with the 210 rep aerobic challenge in her new all time personal best 10:24.3!!

Challenge 2: The 210 Rep Plyo Aerobic Challenge to build done density and overall fitness – WRW invented this challenge to develop power, strength, and stamina. It is an overall leg and arm strengthener in a high aerobic environment. It is currently the longest of the three challenges. It involves mind and body training as a certain form and order has to be followed correctly – 0r else she has to redo reps.

Challenge Details:
1.) 25 reps of 90 degree deep jump squats where bent arm elbows must dip below the bent knees on the squats – repeat 25 times in one direction and 25 times in other direction (50 reps total)
2.) 50 burpee pushups with jump and overhead clap
3.) 50 alternating one leg burpee pushups with jump and overhead clap (150 total reps so far…)
4.) Repeat #1….. (200 reps so far from steps 1-4)
5.) Finally, end with 5 consecutive chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5 consecutive chest-to-bar chin-ups (chest touches bar on each rep to count).

This is Alicia’s first 210 REP Plyo Aerobic Challenge with the initial goal of breaking 15 minutes (she does 14:32)! Over the course of 71 days she progresses to 10:24.3!!!!

210 Rep Plyo Aerobic Progressions and Results:
9/19/22 performed first thing in AM for 14:32
10/3/22 performed first thing in morning 12:55
10/17/22 performed in 11:45
10/24/22 performed in 11:31 (6 minutes after doing her new personal best to date of 3:09 in the 50 pullups and 100 pushups).
11/8/22 performed in 10:53 (she then did the 50 pullups and 100 pushups 6 minutes AFTER the 210 rep challenge).
11/14/22 performed in 11:27 (6 minutes after doing the 50 pullups and 100 pushups in 3:14 – 5 seconds off her best time to date).
11/28/22 performed in 10:24 ( 6 minutes after doing the 50 pullups and 100 pushups in 2:51.9)!!
WRW Improved her speed by 28.45 percent over the course of 71 days (2 months, and 10 days).

Challenge 3: 270 REPS + ? IN 10 MINS – A total core aerobic ab workout that WRW created in August to challenge her core in an aerobic environment. This final challenge involves all core in an aerobic fashion – ALL OUT 10 minute workout for most reps. WRW put a variety of interesting exercises in a series to a get a total body core workout. The goal is to do 270 reps and still have time left over in the 10 minute time frame to do extra reps of a final ab exercise to finish out the 10 minutes. So unlike the other challenges that are are based on improving time – this challenge is to increase reps.

Challenge Details:
1.) 50 reps with 10lbs med ball combo exercise – knee tuck situp (strict form)
2.) 50 reps wide leg flutters in a 6 inch hold
3.) 10 reps of 10lbs med ball chest presses, while maintaining 6 inch hold

6.) 50 reps of over-under wide leg flutters in a 6 inch hold
7.) 50 consecutive reps of 22cm diameter med ball pushups (270 reps so far…)
8.) whatever time is remaining – do as many Table Top 10lbs med ball ab twisties (strict form) till 10 minutes. Final Score will be 270 reps + ? = 10 minutes

Above is video of WRW’s best 10 minute AB result with 440 reps!! This was her fifth and final attempt to improve in the longest time frame of improvement of the three challenges (99 days).

In 99 days (3 months and 7 days) WRW improved her 10 minute ab challenge by 38.64 percent. It was the greatest improvement of the three challenges, but she was given the most time to improve as well.
Here are progressions and results:
8/23/22 performed only 270 reps in 10 minutes. She did the 270 reps in 9:43, but did not push herself to do twisties till 10 minutes.
8/24/22 performed a total of 324 reps (270 reps + 54 10lbs med ball ab twisties).
9/2/22 performed a total 374 reps (270 reps + 104 10lbs med ball ab twisties).
10/14/22 performed a total of 405 reps (270 reps + 135 10lbs med ball ab twisties).
11/29/22 performed a total of 440 reps (270 reps + 170 10lbs med ball ab twisties).

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.

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.

2016 Halloween Athletic Extravaganza

Central Florida Archery, Champion Clients Corner!, Fitness Challenges, Florida On Map for Physical Fitness, Lake County Florida Outdoor Activities, Sports Specific Training, Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

By Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

World Record Weber’s favorite holiday is Halloween for the fun, creativity, and characters that come with it. This year she had 4 days of Halloween events, which included two Inaugural Championship competitions for youth athletes.

Double Endeavor Halloween Championship Weekend

On October 29th, World Record Weber hosted a Halloween Archery Contest, which tested new and veteran archer’s skills at Halloween targets (where a lot of pumpkin smashing took place). The contest was 10 times more challenging than shooting at regular targets, but after a lot of “warming up” all the archers excelled with flying black and orange colors.

A new team called Constellations prevailed on the female side to take individual first (Lanissa with 15pts) and second places (Jadyn with 11pts). Veteran 2 x champion archer, Indaya of the Camo Hunters, took third place with 7pts. On the male side, Robin Hood (Matteo) won with 28pts, brothers Alex and Nicholas tied for second place with 26 pts, and Henry from the legendary team called The Rubies secured third place with 17pts.

The adrenaline for Halloween competitions was just beginning to brew as some athletes returned the following day and new athletes poured in for the Inaugural Halloween Cross Country One Mile Championship.

World Record Wonder Woman challenged the excited youth runners to what must be one of the toughest one mile races in the state of Florida. Prior to this competition, Weber (who has competed all over the state and nation) ran the mile course twice in 6:19 each time. Her time is a little more than a minute slower than what she would do on flat grass. She warned the racers that this is very tough and times would be slower than normal. Acting as the pace setter aka Rabbit, the Wonder Woman got the runners off to a whip, roaring start where they huffed and puffed to an incredible triumph (where approx 1,000 meters was on 12 percent grade hills and the remaining 0.4 miles were rolling or flat).

New cross country runner, nine year old JP, took the victory in 7:56 followed by teammates Nicole in 8:54 and Eli in 9:23. They took 1-2-3 and represented the Mariners.

Cody who helped set a Global Running Day world record, took 4th place. Our male and female Halloween Archery Champions, Matteo and Lanissa, finished this challenging course and called this their first-ever running race as they crossed the line in 5th and 6th place.

“The harder the challenge, then the sweeter the victory,” said Matteo who had a terrific Halloween weekend.

“It feels amazing to win archery, but I like to challenge myself at events where they are difficult for me,” mentioned Matteo.

Lanissa agreed with Matteo. “It feels good to try this run because I never raced before. It was a great motivation to get me out there. It felt great to win in archery yesterday with the top competition,” said Lanissa.

All athletes agreed that they were happy that Coach Weber challenged them to this tough cross country course rather than give them an easy, flat race.

Now, these motivated young athletes will prepare for their next events as they remember and are inspired by the words from Matteo,

“The harder the challenge, the sweeter the victory.”

I also competed and placed 26th in the world among lightweight women with my new best time of 3:50.3 for the 1,000 meter. My youth team came into this event with zero experience and my mission was to follow their success and see how they felt to do so something out of the ordinary. They learned how to row on a Concept 2 Machine and then competed in the 1,000 meter event all in the same day.
Hannah Bibby, 8, never competed in a sport before and she was our 2nd fastest girl on our Awinningway Team, our youngest competitor, and she placed 59th in the world for girls (12 and under) with her time of 6:42.3.

“This is phenomenal for me. When Alicia asked me if I wanted to learn to row and compete, I said yes because I want to take advantage of every opportunity. It feels good to exercise on an indoor rower,” mentioned Bibby who can now call a world championship her first-ever sport competition.

All the kids learned proper breathing and proper form for indoor rowing and they all exceeded their expectations and mine in their performances.

“This is awesome. I have more confidence and I like testing myself physically and this is a good physical test,” said the excited Nico Kurihara-Taylor after completing his row. He placed 82nd in the world for boys (12 and under) in a time of 6:27.4.
The kids watched each other race and cheered for one another. They are looking forward to their next event now.

“I feel like I am on top of the world,” said the uber-competitive DJ Belanoff who expected to do 10 minutes, but finished in 7:30.7 for girls (12 and under).

Aisha Hak, 11, was the fastest youth girl on our team with her time of 6:16.7, which placed her 53rd in world for youth girls (12 and under).

“It takes a lot of energy and strength. I am surprised I did as well as I did. It’s my first day to do it and I know I will only be getting better,” commented Hak after her race.

Andrew Powell, 13, was the only athlete on our youth team who had experience in an aerobic sport. He is also a cross country runner. He was able to get faster and finish his first-ever 1,000 meter in 4:45.7. He competed against nearly 400 boys upto age 18.

“I felt fatigue in the last 300 meters, but I pushed myself to finish strong because I am really motivated to do this event and try something new,” said Powell who was thankful for the opportunity to compete in this world championship.

“This event has been a great opportunity to keep kids active and off electronics. We appreciate having this opportunity for our kids,” added two parents of the athletes.
