A NEW Spin to Cadence Tests for Physical Fitness Testing

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

A popular way to test muscular stamina is with a cadence test. One of the most common that comes to mind is the 20 rep a minute pushup test till failure. Cadence tests don’t need to be bland to be effective. In fact, there are quite a few creative and highly challenging cadence tests for arm and ab muscular strength. The more dynamic an exercise, then the more effective it will be for one. If you are looking to put a new spin on cadence testing, then you are at the RIGHT place. Below are 6 challenging and unique cadence tests for arms (4) and core (2) and you are watching the official world records for these tests as well. Alicia Weber holds the Recordsetter World Records for the following 6 cadence tests and you can watch her go over the instructions for the tests and then set the records!

1. Longest TRX Two Medicine Ball Knee Tuck Push-Up Cadence Test

2. Longest Side-To-Side Rope Pull Up Cadence Test

3. Longest TRX Knee Tuck Pushup Cadence Test

4. Longest Strict Form Spiderman Pushups Cadence Test

5. Longest Cadence Back Up Exercise

Talking Abs and Muscle Recovery with Ab Exercise World Record Holder – Alicia Weber

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Sit Up World Record Holder, Alicia Weber had previously talked abs when she discussed the muscles used to perform a situp and explained the exercise. Today, Alicia will talk about her latest ab exercise world record and her muscle recovery.

Alicia was challenged by a fan to set the longest 6-12 inch straight leg hold and she did just that when she set the RecordSetter World Record for the longest 6-12 inch straight leg hold on August 1, 2012. Alicia even surpassed what she ever thought she would do, when she set the world record for a mind boggling 31 minutes and 36 seconds. I asked Alicia how she did it and Alicia answered, “Blocking out the pain and preparing before the event with massage therapy. It becomes more of a mind game after awhile.”

I then asked Alicia how she physically prepared for the event and what she expected she would do and Alicia answered, “I have been setting and re-setting knee tuck and 5 and 30 minute duration situp records since April 2012, so come August my abs are in pretty top form right now and I just became first human to break 1,000 reps of situps in 30 minutes using proper form (where hands aren’t allowed to help and are placed only on side of head above ears) when I did 1,023 reps in 30 minutes for a RecordSetter World Record on July 17, 2012. Due to my record setting for rep based ab records, I knew I could do well for the isometric ab record, but I thought I could only see myself doing 20 minutes maybe 25 at top. I definitely got a second wind of endurance to exceed 30 minutes and I believe it is because of my massage therapy!”

Alicia Weber said, “Massage therapy and muscle training go hand in hand. In order to be a long-term elite athlete, I have regular massage therapy to keep the muscles limber and nutrient rich and free of stiffness and immobility where metabolites and lactic acid feast!”

Alicia is also a licensed massage therapist and degreed and certified fitness trainer and Alicia can certainly see the benefits her own trainees gain when they combine regular fitness training with regular massage therapy including Cherie Oney – the oldest person to run with her dog and compete in AKC Dog Shows, as well as, Multiple Running World Record Holder for women over 70 – Roxann Steinke.

Alicia Weber’s Rise to Rope Climbing and the Gator Nation’s Sport Tradition

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter
August 4, 2012

Letter Winning UF runner, Alicia Weber’s rise to rope climbing came accidently at the University of Florida after Alicia graduated. Wouldn’t that be the only natural place to rise in sports considering the Univerisity of Florida’s tradition of producing champion athletes and Olympians?

The University of Florida has an 8m rope that sits beside the track stadium. Rope Climbing is part of the conditioning in many sports and while at University of Florida, Alicia trained in rope climbing to help with her running. Alicia said, “I climbed the rope and didn’t think much about the sport of rope climbing. In fact, I didn’t know there was a sport!!”

The accidental moment came on Oct 14, 2009, when Alicia climbed the rope casually in L-position to shoot a strength video for VideoTeasing as her character – Aussie Amanda. Alicia posted a snippet of the video on youtube as shown below and the responses were huge! Alicia said, “I had all kinds of people writing to me saying that I went faster than world record, while holding a rigid L position when all that is required is the much easier version of the arms only legs dangling rope climb. I was told competitive L-position climbing was abandonded in late 1800’s and the only competitive format is arms only rope climbing. ”

Alicia’s famous video that caused her to Rise to Rope Climbing World Records

Alicia then became acquainted with the sport of rope climbing, and of course, she decided to go for more world records! Alicia got a 22ft Outdoor Climbing Rope and in 2011 she set a half dozen arms only speed climbing records with the Book of Alternative Records and then in 2012, Alicia expanded into setting records with the rigid L position arms only climbs and longer arms only endurance rope climbs with RecordSetter World Records.

If only rope climbing was still an Olympic sport, Alicia would be going for Gold and joining the other 145+ Letter Winning Gator Athletes that have competed in the Olympics, which makes UF the top school for producing Olympians.

During the 2012 London Olympics, Ryan Lochte’s 5th and final medal (silver medal) won in the 200IM marks UF’s 100th Olympic medal won by a Gator Letter Winning Athlete. UF letter winning swimmer, Elizabeth Beisel then took the 101st medal won by a Gator letter winner when she won the bronze medal in the 200m Backstroke (her 2nd individual medal won at Olympics).

Every Olympic year, the Florida Gators keep increasing the # of Olympians and # of medals won. In 2008 at the Beijing Olympics, if the University of Florida (known as Gator Nation) was recognized by the International Olympic Committe as a real nation, it would have tied for 18th for total medals earned in those games!

In 2012, the Gator Nation has a record 37 Gator Athletes competing in the London Games. The two biggest sports represented by Gator Nation are swimming (23 athletes) and track (10 athletes), although fewer athletes are in the other sports (i.e. basketball, tennis, and soccer) they are very strong in everything!

The Gator Nation has reached over 100 Olympic medals won by Letter Winners as of this 2012 London Olympics and starting the medal count when UF won their first medal back in Mexico City 1968 Olympics. They have produced many world records too (maybe too many to keep track of..).

Alicia Weber may not have been born in time to be an Olympian in Rope Climbing (1932 Last Olympics with Rope Climbing), but she CAN be counted in the world record count for the Letter Winning Athletes that have set world records representing Gator Nation.

Alicia Weber alone has set and held over 150 official world records and she should soon see on the radar her BIG 200th world record in strength and endurance!

One thing is certain, the Gator Nation brings their “A Game” and attracts the most determined and dedicated athletes into their sports programs and the results are letter winners that go on to become great champions in life and in sports!

Rope Climbing Removed from Olympics, But Sport is Still ALIVE!

BY: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

If rope climbing was still an Olympic sport, Alicia Weber (multiple Rope Climbing World Record Holder) would be hauling in gold medals for Team USA!!

Rope climbing was contended in the Olympics first in the late 1800’s with the event that is Alicia’s specialty – L position arms only rope climbing. However, given the level of difficulty and too few competitors, the event was changed to arms only rope climbing with legs dangling in 1904 and remained that way thru the 1932 Olympics and then rope climbing was removed all together starting in the 1936 Olympics.

Alicia Weber is one of the few competitors still tackling rope climbing where she has amassed a dozen world records between the Record Books (Book of Alternative Records and RecordSetter World Records).

I ask Alicia what is her motivation to keep rope climbing. Alicia says, “It is very challenging and I like challenges. I get bored with the same old athletic events and rope climbing offers a twist to sports and builds great physical fitness.”

Alicia broke her L-Position Arms Only 12ft Rope Climb record by nearly a full second during the London Olympics. Alicia says, “I got excited watching the Olympics and thought about what it would be like if I was around in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s and could go for Olympic gold – that motivated me to blow away the world record!”

Alicia re-set the 12ft L-Position Rope Climb record that starts in seated position in a time of 3.96 seconds on July 31, 2012. In comparison, female gymnasts take an Elite Physical Fitness Abilities Test and their best in a similar L position climb has been 4.99 seconds and Alicia’s former record for the event was 4.8 seconds.

In Alicia describing her excitement of the physical fitness challenges rope climbing offers, she attempted a totally new type of record combining running with arms only speed rope climbing for the Ultimate Cardio/Strength Workout!

On August 3, 2012, in the Florida 90 degree heat, Alicia attempted the first ever 1500m run with 96ft Arms Only Rope Climb. Alicia climbs 12ft arms only after every other 100m and starts in a seated position and does this for a total of 8 climbs during her 1500m run. She completed the effort in a new benchmark of 7 minutes and 18 seconds.

Alicia Completes 1500m Run with 96ft Arms Only Rope Climb for new record.

With the many physical fitness challenges Alicia tests with rope climbing and her re-setting of world records in speed rope climbing, Alicia is keeping the sport of rope climbing ALIVE and well!

Muscle Woman Becomes Fastest Person to Set 50 Exercise World Records

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Fitness Professional, Alicia Weber, decided to test her energy levels by not only setting world records covering upper body, lower body, and core exercises – BUT setting them the fastest!

From April 24 – June 24, 2012, Alicia set 50 exercise world records in 62 days for an Official RecordSetter World Record.

Alicia said, “I only had 2 days off of work in 62 days as a fitness trainer and I carried the momentum to set these records relentlessly and I am very happy to see what my energy levels are capable of doing.”

I asked Alicia’s Fitness Associate to describe Alicia and she said, “The first thing I think of are her high energy levels that stand out. She is a powerhouse that keeps going. Alicia puts the same all out effort in helping all her fitness trainees. Alicia is a very dedicated and competent trainer that has received great reviews!”

In the process of Alicia setting 50 exercise records the fastest, she also set the RecordSetter World Record for the Most Exercise Records Set, Running Races Won, and Record of the Day Awards Earned in ONE Month in May 2012.

In comparing apples to oranges, Alicia set 50 exercise world records in 62 days covering upper body, lower body, and core exercises at RecordSetter and the best male (also a fitness trainer) set 51 exercise world records covering upper and lower body in 151 days with Record Holder’s Republic. It would make sense that fitness trainers would hold these speed records for setting exercise records.

Alicia said, “I train all ability levels and people with all sorts of fitness goals. So setting these exercise records makes me more able to guide them as the more I achieve, the more I am able to help others achieve through my experiences in achieving all around physical fitness.”

Here is Alicia’s Official RecordSetter World Record video showing all 50 Exercise World Records set in 62 days

Alicia Weber sets World Record for Most Exercise World Records in One Month AND MORE!!

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

May 2012 was the Record Challenge Month for RecordSetter World Records where record holders competed to set the most impressive records and out of 360 records set, 4 of Alicia’s records made Top 10 Most Impressive Record List and Alicia was selected as the Most Awesome Record Setter, but Alicia had her own agenda in this month long contest.

Multiple Exercise World Record Holder – Alicia Weber set the personal goal of setting more exercise records in ONE Month than she ever set in an entire year! She would have to set more than 24 records to achieve this goal.

On top of this goal, Alicia set other standards on herself to make this a bigger obstacle…she had to win at least one running race, work and train everyday (no rest days), win at least one Record of the Day title, and she would have to attempt to re-set her toughest records yet (find out what they are below).

Do you think Alicia (nicknamed “The Machine”) reached her goal AND met the standards she set on herself?

YES, The Results: 35 achievements in ONE month (26 exercise records set, one running race won, and 8 Record of The Days earned!!)

Alicia says, “I got my toughest strength test out of the way first when I re-set my World Record on May 3, 2012, with 91 consecutive bar dips in 5 minutes where arms break 90 degrees (previously set in April with 85). I then re-set my toughest endurance record near the end of the month when I knew I would be pretty fatigued from everything – I knocked 1 minute off my record time for fastest time to complete 500 chinups/500 pushups. Additionally several records that I set for the first time in April, I made myself get the energy to re-set in less than a month later!”

“Hammer Head”, Alicia’s fitness trainee, comments on Alicia’s efforts and says, “A true test in a real, serious athlete is if they are able to negative split. Alicia meets that test.”

Alicia exclaims, “Yes, I want to feel like a machine and I am in better shape now than ever. Back in college running for JJ Clark, a goal was to work on negative splits and that was something I had to work on then, but now it comes more naturally through all the years of practice.”

A Big Fan adds, “Alicia sets records but also has records AT setting records!”

I ask Alicia if she is tired yet?! Alicia says,”Honestly, I thought I would be, but I am really not too tired, but I am making my body rest a little as I know it needs rest. This is my 134th world record in physical fitness and personally, it is my favorite so far as it is an exciting all around test for me in stamina!”

Alicia earned title on May 29th for “Most Exercise Records Set, Running Races Won, and Records of the Day Earned in One Month” set the Month of May 2012. Watch her World Record Video where she shows her 35 achievements below:

Clermont, FL, Hosts First Ever Physical Fitness Day for Inaugural RecordSetter World Record Day!

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Foreword: Alicia Weber is a Fitness Trainer and Wellness Coach of over 14 years that gets results as she guided the following 3 athletes to world records and has a physical fitness record setting organization here for her fitness trainees. Alicia’s RecordSetter physical fitness world records are here.

CLERMONT, FL— Alicia Weber already achieved 100 world records in physical fitness, but keeps going. I ask her what her motivation is and she replied, “I have over 600+ muscles in my body and I need to keep them ALL in top working order! I always have looked at the total picture in physical fitness. I keep improving and I have A LOT more goals.”

One goal Alicia had set was to hold the first ever Physical Fitness World Record Day in Clermont, FL, and her event was one of just 21 events held in the world to celebrate RecordSetter World Record Day! Alicia was very pleased with her event, which garnered 7 world records and 6 Most Popular World Records that made frontpage on recordsetter.com ALL on same day May 1, 2012

All Clermont Athletes Made Frontpage of Recordsetter.com as they earned votes and views to become Most Popular World Records! Hammer Head’s Neck Strength World Records took 4th and 13th place, 81 yr old Cherie took 5th place, Roxann’s running records took 11th and 16th places, and Alicia took 1st place!

Alicia kicked off her event at the National Training Center Track where she completed the Alternative 400m Dash a.k.a 400m Medley where she shaved 11 seconds off her previous best time to garner the first world record of this eventful day on April 28, 2012.

Alicia Weber’s Alternative 400m Medley Run Made #1 Most Popular World Record on frontpage of recordsetter.com on May 1, 2012!

Next, Roxann Steinke, 71, put her best foot forward on the track and took home 2 world records for over age 70 track running events within 15 months after a total hip replacement. Roxann said, “I’m happy that I ran my fastest 3,200m ever and I faired well in the 5k, which was run in the heat of the day. I don’t compete on the track, so this is a new experience.” Roxann keeps improving her running times. Within the first 70 days of 2012, she reduced her 5k time by 3 minutes. Since, then (63 days later) Roxann has reduced her time another 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Her best time (as of April 2012) has been 56:37 for a 5k road race. Roxann proves you can get faster as you get older even with a full hip replacement!!

Roxann’s Record Setting 3,200m enroute to 5,000m for over age 70 within 15 months after total hip replacement surgery

Cherie Oney, 81, has been her best ever at her oldest age yet! Cherie’s years of experience have been in competitive dog shows and her Golden Years are proving to be her best years. Cherie and her youngest saluki Angel have earned their AKC Championship and are half way to earning the Grand Championships as they compete on the National level and collect points for top performances that are evaluated based on gracefulness in the run, physical features, etc.

Cherie has been specifically wanting to build her leg endurance, but if you work with Alicia you need to work on everything!! Alicia picked the exercise of Most Consecutive Cone Pick Ups, While Holding an Isometric Lunge as it is performed on a grass surface and involves a wide-range of disciplines including leg endurance, core strength, flexibility, quadricep and hip flexor muscle groups, AND BALANCE!! Who said people as they get older lose balance?? Cherie’s balance keeps improving and she is more “balanced” in her Golden Years than ever!

Cherie’s Record Setting over age 80 Most Consecutive Cone Pick Ups, While Holding Isometric Lunge

Balancing careers as a competitive athlete in contact sports, marine, and a cop in some of the toughest crime areas has sent this over age 50 guy known as “Hammer Head” into secret hiding to develop his neck muscles to become the strongest to hold up in contact sports and confrontation! Alicia was surprised when “Hammer Head” revealed he had been hiding away for 35 years building his neck and wished to set a world record in neck strength. Alicia thought the purpose of his mission for the big, strong neck was so that it would be too big to strangle! Alicia learned otherwise!

The “Hammer Head” said, “Having a strong neck helps in contact sports and I have been training it for 35 years to prevent injuries and help with preventing concussions and other neck issues that arise from police work.” Hammer Head’s secret neck exercises are called “Front Head Presses” and “Back of Head Presses” and he shows they work as he also set 2 world records in both events (one after the other on RecordSetter World Record Day)!

Hammer Head’s Record Setting Most Consecutive Front Head Presses for over age 50 (120 lbs)

Hammer Head’s Record Setting Most Consecutive Back of Head Presses for over age 50 (150lbs)

Closing out the eventful first ever Physical Fitness Day, Alicia picked an one-of-a-kind exercise that stands out as the world’s toughest type of dip – Ring L Position Dips. Alicia said, “What makes this exercise so tough is the element of flexibility and strength as the legs have to be held straight out together and kept parallel to ground entire time. I first set this world record in 2010 with another record book, and I am ecstatic to improve and re-set this record and open the category now at RecordSetter!”

I ask Alicia on her thoughts of the Inaugural RecordSetter World Record Day and she said, “I am thrilled to be part of a ground breaking event and instill physical fitness in the community! These were all very serious physical fitness records and everyone had been working toward these goals and achieving them is exhilarating!”

Losing Fat Another Way

By: Carol Weber Images below are copyrighted to AliciaWeber.com

After my pregnancies, I used a weight loss method that was very successful for me. Now, to my surprise, I see that it is a method more commonly used than I would have expected!
Upon awakening, I would have coffee with fat free cream. Then, I would “jump” on my rebounder, also known as a mini-trampoline. I would listen to music and usually jump for 15 to 20 minutes.

Here are the important points for this weight loss method:

1. Your body was in a “fast” during sleep. Now you are burning the food from the previous night.

2. You are speeding up your food metabolism which will continue into the day.

3. You are burning fat NOT carbohydrates. If you ate breakfast and then jumped or exercised aerobically, you would burn the carbohydrates from the breakfast. But since you are still in the fasting state, your body burns the fat. This fat-burning state is called ketosis.

4. Jumping on a rebounder strengthens the ankles, improves the lymphatic system, helps bone density, and improves your balance. However, any aerobic activity works just as well for the weight loss.

Jump to Lose Fat Another Way!
After jumping I would be very careful with my meals. I would not eat until lunch time, and I would have balanced meals with low fat and low sugar. I would eat sensibly. I lost 30 pounds using this method.

If you don’t want to use a rebounder, you can do another aerobic exercise. An important point to remember is that exercising in the fasting state really increases fat-burning. CAUTION: Do not use this method if you are diabetic.

You have to huff and puff to get tight and tough!
Conditioning is vital for risk-free exercise. If you want to jump, start with 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 1 to 2 weeks. Then, after 2 weeks, increase to 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 1 to 2 weeks. Use this conditioning method, gradually increasing the exercising time. These days I jump for 30 minutes at a time, 3 to 5 days a week. Otherwise, I go to the gym and use an aerobic machine there. Whatever I do, I use the “fasting” until lunch. Of course, drinking water is vital during the exercise session.

April 12 -22, 2012 — Strongwoman Alicia Weber is back again to raise her benchmarks in 2 short duration events AND MORE! On April 12, 2012, Alicia Weber took back her world record in 1 minute of situps. She now raised the benchmark to 59 situps in one minute for her 101st world record! Alicia exclaimed, “I am into longer duration situps, but if I know I can beat a record that I see, I will go for it!” Alicia did just that when she beat the previous record of 58 a minute set by England’s Guy King.

Next, Alicia has been dueling French Plyometic Exercise Star Guillaume Bourgeois (since, Feb 2012) in several plyometric exercises, but one stands out in the exciting duel between these two determined record breakers – Most Consecutive Clapping Pushups with Feet off the Ground. They each had gone back and forth with this highly aerobic strength testing exercise. Guillaume held the world record for 49 days at the mark of 61. Then, on April 17, 2012, Alicia re-claimed the record with a new mark of 65. Alicia exclaimed, “I got sick on Monday and had to rest. My muscles were anxious for an all out effort on Tuesday and the result – another record! I am very happy!”

On Wedsnesday, Alicia had planned to kick off her cross country season despite still being sick. Alicia exclaimed, “It was set in my mind and I had been looking forward to this day. I recalled when I ran with bronchitis and set a youth record in a 10k in 37:34 in 1995, which was 6th largest road race in US and I knew I could pull this off. I had trouble breathing from congestion and a sore/dry throat, but this was nothing compared to when I ran with bronchitis. I was planning on a casual effort in any case and just get a feel for the new course.” Alicia set the overall record in 2011 for the NTC 2.8 mile course. In 2012, the race is on a new course measuring 2.5 miles and is known as the NTC Ultimate Series for Cross Country. Alicia was happy with her showing in the elite field of current and former pro triathletes. She finished 6th overall out of men and women and was the 2nd woman finisher.

Finally ending her sickness on April 22, Alicia competed in her first ever WPA Series Stand Up Paddle Board event. Alicia exclaimed, “I was so excited to get out there with top competition and just get this experience under my belt. I asked for a challenge and I got it – the 3 mile race started in torrential downpour. Then it passed, but we had to fight wicked cross winds and currents. The winds were gusting upto 19 mph! My adrenaline was pumping and I had to dig deep on my hefty 10 ‘6″ stockboard.” Alicia completed the 3 mile course at Spa Beach in St. Petersburg, FL, in 56:48 for a 30th overall finish out of men and women, which includes both stockboard and racerboard categories combined.
