CLERMONT, FL (Feb 19, 2012)—February is National Heart Health Month and Fitness Expert Alicia Weber is celebrating by establishing and setting a new aerobic capacity wellness benchmark.
Aerobic Capacity Wellness is the direct measurement of one’s cardiovascular fitness. Â It’s not just about getting to peak speed, but how long one can hold a peak speed. Â Aerobic means “with oxygen” and an individual’s peak capability for delivering oxygen to muscles. Â Most people think of aerobics as running, walking, biking, or taking the 1.5 mile run test. Â Alicia thinks beyond this picture though.
Alicia studied 30 fitness clients and researched and tested them in hundreds of conditioning exercises over the course of 6-months in 2011 to find the most effective and results-driven exercises for overall physical fitness gains. Â Not only did Alicia see results with these exercises, but so did clients as clients in a 6 week period increased arm strength by an average 40 % Â and by an average 33% they increased leg strength. Alicia now takes the 4 top conditioning exercises that showed to be the best for overall physical fitness gains and attacks these exercises one after the other in an ALL OUT aerobic capacity wellness challenge, which she calls “400 Rep Aerobic Capacity Wellness Challenge.” Â Alicia sets the world record for the fastest to complete this challenge!
Alicia Weber demonstrates Aerobic Capacity Wellness as she holds her heart rate at 95% of her max heart rate for over 20 minutes and performs these multi-dimensional exercises that incorporate the 5 areas of fitness and test aerobic capacity wellness. Â Alicia has a very high Vo2max of 67.05 ml/kg/min achieved during her 1.5 mile run test and even in that test her heart rate did not peak as high and as long as it does in this challenge – Just to say how challenging this challenge really is with these 4 exercises!
Alicia Weber’s World Record in 400 Rep Aerobic Capacity Wellness Challenge time 23 mins and 57 seconds!
Clermont, FL–August 7-13, 2011 Â Alicia Weber raises her bar again in physical fitness! Â Almost 1 year ago, she celebrated World Record Weber Week where she spent a week setting a variety of physical fitness world records in between training her own personal fitness clients! Alicia is a self-coached world record holder in over 30 categories of exercise events. This year’s World Record Weber Week is full of extreme challenges!
CLICK ABOVE OR go to www.VideoTeasing.com/Alicia.htm for Alicia's World Record Videos!
On August 7th, Alicia set a total of 4 World Records in both 1 minute and 3 minute Chinups/Pullups events ALL within just 18 minutes!
On August 13th, Alicia did 1 hour of CONSECUTIVE pushups and Mtn. Climbers to become the first woman to set a 1 hour pushup world record. Â Alicia combined the exercises and made herself hold a plank the whole time to make the record attempt much more challenging. Â Alicia completed 1,020 pushups (and 826 mtn. climbers!) in 1 hour to set a new world record.
In this Year’s World Record Weber week, Alicia set 5 world records.
I ask Alicia on her thoughts after this year’s week of records. Â Alicia says,“I was thinking about my fans and how much they should love the new flexing videos I made after doing these world records. Â I will have my new world record videos full of flexing and a Special Triple Apple Crush for Time from a One Arm Flexed Hang available at www.VideoTeasing.com/alicia.htm See the Apple Crush Preview Below: “
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 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!
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!Â
Congratulations Jenni!!
Â
Now, let’s talk to Jenni about her 14-day journey with “Fat Flush Fitness Rushâ€.
Q. Knowing that you have done Weight Watchers and other fat loss programs before, how does “Fat Flush Fitness Rush†compare?Â
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?Â
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!”Â
Jenni adds, “If you aren’t bringing your “A Game†don’t try! Fat Flush Fitness Rush is NOT for the weak-minded.”
Â
Â
Â
Q. You were the lone participant for this inaugural program. What was your motivation to do it?
Jenni answers, Â “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?Â
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?Â
Jenni answers, “ I call this Fat Flush Fitness Rush a “2-week Lifestyle Changerâ€. 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! ”
Â
Â

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/awinningway
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, â€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.â€
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.â€
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!Â
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.â€
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!Â
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.”

No time, money, or commitment, but a willingness to achieve fat loss and health results in a hurry can leave one confused in the direction to turn. One thing is certain a magic fat loss pill won’t do the trick!
Alicia Weber – 30+ Â x World Record Holder, Fitness Trainer, and Nutritionist has a solution for you if you live in Central Florida and even if you don’t keep reading for quick success tips!Â
If you live in Central Florida, Alicia has a 14 day program to guide one in both nutrition and fat loss to see results! What is even better is that the price is right! The first session is FREE and the rest of the 2 weeks only costs that of a 1-on-1 1hr fitness session.Â
Here are some quick tips to get your engine fired up and get your fat burning furnace cranking!!
1.)    Research has shown that if you eat an apple 15 minutes before a meal you can reduce your caloric intake by 200 calories! Eating an apple a day can do more than keep the doctor away – it will also help in fat loss!
2.)   Rich in monounsaturated fats, unsalted assorted nuts can provide heart health and they can promote fat loss. Next time you want a snack – reach for a big bowl filled with only a handful of nuts! Why? The big bowl helps with portion control – it makes you feel you are eating more and you eat less and satiate. A handful of nuts are all you need to keep your engine running and metabolism kicking!
3.)   Although nutrition is 75% of the full healthy picture, little pictures have big ears! Exercise is a little picture that performed with the right turbulence can turn one into a well-oiled machine! Here’s a quick workout to keep the engine rolling!
Start with 2-3 sets and build to 5 sets
10 pushups (wall, elevated, or standard pushups depending on ability level) Immediately after do 10 squats = 1 set
GO ALL OUT and the goal is to do 3 sets under 3 minutes and 5 sets under 5 minutes! This is a good “pick me up†routine to do once a day to fire it up!!
Approximately 80% of adults are estimated to have some kind of back injury in their lifetime and 10 percent will suffer from a back re-injury, according to Premier back statistics.
The best way to prevent back pain is to become educated in the ways back injuries occur and form a preventative plan. One of the top ways to avoid a back problem is to lift objects properly. There are 7 different proper lifts that you can pick from to keep a healthy back and use your leg strength and not your back to pick things up the right way! Follow along with the video below that shows the 7 proper lifts as the lifting techniques are spelled out underneath.
Avoid Back Problems with the 7 Proper Lifts
 Deep Squat Lift - Do a full squat where hips are below knee level. Arms and legs are parallel with an anterior pelvic tilt. Always keep object close for strong base of support – good for medium to heavy lower objects. Grab object at the sides or under the bottom of the object.
Traditional Lift – Get in standard squat position except feet are anteroposterior on each side of object. Good for heavy, low objects – place object between legs to maintain low center of gravity while wide base of support.Â
Power Lift - Go into a half-squat for lifting taller and lighter objects where hips are above knee level. Arms and legs are parallel – grab sides of the object, while maintaining a more vertical position with an anterior pelvic tilt.
Straight Leg Lift – Knees can be slightly bent in this lift known for picking up grocery bags. Grasp sides of the object and hold object close to the body.
One-Leg Stance Lift – This lift is also known as the “golfer’s lift†and it is for very light objects weighing upto a couple pounds at most. The body will go horizontal, while maintaining a straight back and always keep the front leg over the heel (making a 90 degree angle). The back leg can be straight or slightly bent. Again secure object close to body.
Half-Kneeling Lift – good for objects of various sizes and weights. However, AVOID this type of lift if you have a knee problem! This is a useful lift for people of small stature with great balance. The goal of the lift is to secure objects close to the body before standing.
Stoop Lift - This is a great lift for an object below waist level. This is the common lift for different types bags and/or items with handles (i.e. suitcase, purse, brief cases, pails, tool boxes, etc). Just partially flex hip and knees, while maintaining a straight slightly forward back. Feet are shoulder width apart and slightly anteroposterior from each other.
I hope these tips help you “back up†and regroup and start rearing in the right direction in back health! Remember: Keep using your Legs and Rear Muscles when lifting and NOT your back! For more info – Alicia Weber is a fitness expert with YourHealthUpdates.com
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!â€Â 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).â€
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.â€

Alicia Weber’s 2009-2010 Sports Highlights
In addition to the sports highlights below, I am a strength and endurance world record holder with a variety of physical fitness world records.
January 31, 2010 Southern Sprints Indoor Rowing World Championships
In my newest sport, I competed in my first major indoor rowing competition and captured the silver medal in the 500m sprint. The Southern Sprints Indoor Rowing Championships serves as a World Qualifier for the C.R.A.S.H. B Sprints Indoor Rowing World Championship held every year in Boston.
December 6, 2009 Xterra World Half-Marathon Championships Kualoa Ranch, Oahu, HI
During a week in Oahu, HI, which included an invitation to train with the U.S. Marines, I competed in what is to be considered the “World’s Toughest Half-Marathonâ€. There are many factors, which make the event so tough including 1. Elevation – 2,900ft mountain climb 2. Competitors aren’t allowed to see or practice on the course till the morning of the event! 3. Temperature and Terrain Changes – The temperature at the start of the race was 65 degrees, but by the first mile on the black lava rock it escalated to nearly 90 degrees. By mile 11, runners held onto a rope to run down a slippery, muddy, narrow path. I can surely say with my many years of running on the elite circuit that this truly was the world’s toughest half-marathon! I became very dehydrated, but still finished as 40th Woman in the World. A total of 393 runners were in this world championship run.
