Massage Therapy No Longer A Luxury, But A Therapeutic Tool

By: Alicia Weber

Renown Preventative Health Doctor, Dr. Julian Whitaker has the research and results and says, “Massage is no longer considered a luxury – it is now recognized as a therapeutic tool.”

Dr. Julian Whitaker founded the Whitaker Wellness Institute, which is the largest alternative medicine clinic in the U.S. and has served over 40,000 patients. He studies natural therapies and nutritional supplements.

Natural Therapies, like massage therapy, have more potential to restore health and prevent disease than conventional medicine.

Studies have shown the following results with those that get therapeutic massage therapy from a licensed massage therapist:
1.) Relieves Aches and Pains
2.) Improves Range of Motion
3.) Increases Blood Circulation and Lymph Flow
4.) Decreases Anxiety and Tension
5.) Facilitates Recovery from Injuries
6.) Increases feel good hormones Serotonin, Dopamine, and Oxytocin
7.) Reduces Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
8.) Promotes Tissue Regeneration and reduces scar tissue and stretch marks
9.) Reduces Migraines and improves sleep
10.) Exercises weak, tight, and atrophied muscles and enhances immune system

Words CAN NOT fully describe the benefits of massage, but even better a demonstration by Massage Therapist, Catalina Calisthenics will SHOW you what massage therapy can do for YOU!

Muscle Woman’s Valentine Day 2013 Heart Strength Test

By: Alicia Weber

In 2011, I did an extensive aerobic study on 30 people age ranging from 25-75 years old and both male and female. The goal of the study was to find the Top 4 Aerobic Exercises that produced the greatest gains in aerobic capacity wellness. Aerobic Capacity Wellness refers to the person’s peak capability for delivering oxygen to the muscles and how long they can hold at that peak speed. The higher your aerobic capacity, then the higher your ability to utilize oxygen and the higher your cardiovascular fitness levels.

In this study, there were 4 exercises that stood out from the hundreds performed. The 4 exercises were considered the most beneficial, challenging, and effective movements for increasing aerobic capacity wellness.

Now, these participants in this study performed rep based exercises that never exceeded 50 reps at a time. Although they normally performed 30-60 second all out bouts. I would describe their fitness levels as beginner to intermediate. All fitness levels greatly improved aerobic capacity wellness as well as toned and firmed their bodies.

The Top 4 Exercises with the greatest benefits for increasing aerobic capacity wellness (from 1 least challenging to 4 most challenging of the Top 4 Exercises discovered among hundreds) are the following:
1. Pushup Burpees with jump and overhead clap
2. Deep Squats with arms held out
3. Leaping mountain climbers
4. 1 leg Pushup Burpees with jump and overhead clap

Being a multi-exercise world record holder, the challenge was to stack these exercises for a total 400 reps, which would turn the routine into a speed-endurance exercise as I push for the fastest time with strict form and maintain a heart rate at peak speed. I call the event the 400 Rep Aerobic Capacity Wellness Challenge and I set the world record with Recordsetter! I set 205 world records in 2012 covering total body fitness and this 400 rep world record had my pulse reaching the highest maximum heart rate and it held it the longest (180 BPM for over 20 minutes, which is approx 95% of my maximum heart rate). No other record that I set produced these kinds of results, especially for an over 20 minute duration! So without a doubt, it is the most aerobic challenge record.

Alicia’s 2013 Valentine Day Heart Strength Test – 400 Rep Aerobic Capacity Wellness Test and NEW Record!

One year later, I have broken the 400 rep Aerobic Capacity Wellness Challenge Record by 32 seconds on Valentine’s Day 2013 where I celebrated by testing my heart strength! I once again kept my pulse at 95% of my maximum heart rate for over 20 minutes.

I would call my 2011 Aerobic Study a Success for the participants and myself. Remember to get in your Cardio Workout and have a strong heart not only on Valentine’s Day, but everyday year round!

When Alicia thinks of Heart Health month, the first thing that comes to her mind will be aerobics and Dr. Kenneth Cooper – The Father Of Aerobics. In 1986, Dr. Kenneth Cooper submitted the official definition to the Oxford English Dictionary. It reads, “Method of physical exercise for producing beneficial changes in the respiratory and circulatory systems by activities which require meeting a modest increase in oxygen intake and so can be maintained.”

“I don’t criticize weight training – as long as it is not a substitute for aerobic training.” – Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, The Father of Aerobics

Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s initial mission was to combat the # 1 Killer in America, which was and still is heart disease and increase longevity. Aerobics is a big part of the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Team Weber and Alicia Weber’s 2012 Gator-Style Thanksgiving

By: Weber Way To Wellness Reporter

LAS VEGAS, NV, November 21-22, 2012 — On the Eve of Thanksgivng, the former Florida Gator Athlete, Alicia Weber, kicked off her Thanksgiving in Gator-Style! Alicia attacked a physical challenge that she was building up for over the past few weeks, but never attempted before. It was the all out consecutive 100m Plyometric Alligator Pushup for fastest time! She must keep her feet together with her legs straight for the entire duration and begin the exercise with a hop then one arm stretching out with other arm in close (like an alligator) and perform a pushup. She must repeat this as necessary until getting over the finish line! She completed 185 of these extreme consecutive pushups covering the 100m in 12:10. Alicia exclaimed, “Out of my 200 Recordsetter Exercise World Records set this year, this ranks as one of the toughest!”

Alicia Weber, Kimberly Weber, and Jim Weber chased those turkeys and as a family and they would have tied for 2nd place based on most family members earning awards in their age divisions. Alicia took 2nd place in her division, while Jim took 3rd place in his division. The Gronauer family had 2 earn division awards as well, but no one could catch the Holiday family, which took the Turkey with 8 family members earning awards in their age divisions. It was a fun race for families and friends to kick off Thanksgiving in an exciting 5k race!

Alicia exclaimed, “My sister and dad were just going to do this race and I jumped in to make it a family run. I was still healing from a bad blister from running on a slant for half the run in my Beach Running World Championship, which I won several weeks ago. Although I am still healing my blister, I decided to do this race anyways, but just for fun at a casual pace. This is our first race as a family and it was nice!”

Pushups on 3 Medicine Balls—On May 7, 2011, Weber re-set her world record that she first set a year ago.  She completed 38 pushups in 1 minute, while balancing on 3 medicine balls (diameter:  22cm).

I ask Alicia Weber how it feels to reach 50 world records in strength, speed, and endurance, and she says, “It is an exciting benchmark to meet.  I am very happy! I keep going though.”

Coach Johnny Deltoid Interviews Senior Runner (from Rehab to Winning Races)

By:  Track Coach - Johnny Deltoid
By: Track Coach – Johnny Deltoid

Coach Johnny Deltoid is a die hard track fan, track coach, and runner of many years.  His wife of 7 years is also in love with running.  Together they eat, sleep, talk, drink, and run!  Coach Deltoid is fascinated by a senior that couldn’t run from an injury, but through the right rehab and determination he is now running and winning!!  Coach Deltoid interviews this successful senior runner!

1.) Coach Deltoid:  So you ran your first race in 10 years.  What rekindled your flame to race again?
1.) Senior Runner:  I got some new friends that do races and I thought I would jump in my new age group and see what happens.
2.) Coach Deltoid:  A year ago a big decision needed to be made to get a surgery or not get a surgery.  Tell us about that..
2.) Senior Runner:  I had a Grade 2 Rectus Femoris M. partial tear.  I chose NOT to get surgery.  I decided to work under the tutelage of Alica Weber, where I was given a series of exercises to expand my range of motion in my knee joint and undergo light low impact strengthening.  It was the best decision to make and I am back up and running!
3.) Coach Deltoid:  Could you imagine yourself in ’09 (when the injury took place) ever running again?
3.) Senior Runner:  No, it was questionable that I would even be able to run.
4.) Coach Deltoid:  Which exercises that Alicia gave you helped you most?
4.) Senior Runner:  Gliding Disc flexibility training definitely helped, but it was a combination of many exercises and using Skecher Shoes and using Ultra-Sound before exercise. The real test was being able to run, which I passed in Feb 2010 when I ran a 200m on grass in 50 seconds.
5.) Coach Deltoid:  Once you knew you could run again, what was your next challenge?
5.) Senior Runner:  I wanted to run a 400m on the track and I completed it in 1:40.  I just decided to jump into a 5k race for the first time “cold turkey”.  I ran the whole time and finished in 32:30 for 3rd place in my 60-65 age group.  So, I am running with the Big Turkeys now!  So the success spurred me on for the next race where I lowered my time to 29 minutes!  I hope to do one 5k race every month now!
Senior Runner:  From Rehab not being able to run to Running and Winning
5.) Senior Runner: From Rehab not being able to run to Running and Winning

  
6.) Coach Deltoid:  What kinds of recommendations do you give for a person with Grade 2 Rectus Femoris M. partial tear or to one with a  similar knee problem?

6.) Senior Runner:  I would highly recommend getting a pair of Skecher Shoes.  If you are older with muscle imbalances and in need of ankle strengthening, they will help with all of it.  They will help with strengthening the ankles and ligaments in the knees in a way that you can’t get elsewhere.  You are sure-footed with them!  I run and train in my Skechers Men’s Shape Ups Lace-Up,Black,8.5 M
ReliaMed 1Mhz Portable Home Ultrasound Physical Therapist Massage Machine & FREE China Gel Sample is another MUST.  I used ultra-sound 2 x day for 15 mins each time for 6-months.  I always use it before exercise and then again after exercise.  You don’t know if it is working or not, but very suddenly it rebuilds the bone and tissues.
