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!

Jim Thorpe named Athlete of the Century and Greatest Athlete when he became Olympic Decathlon Champion in 1912. 2012 marks 100yr anniversary of the Decathlon.
This year 2012, marks the 100 year anniversary of the sport of Decathlon, which first became popular worldwide in the 1912 Olympics when American Jim Thorpe won the gold medal and was told he was “the world’s greatest athlete.” That title of “world’s greatest athlete” has been bestowed on every Olympic Decathlon Champion since! What an exciting time it is to see on the 100th anniversary of Decathlon another American taking that claim to fame and in world record style too! Ashton Eaton won the Olympic gold medal in the decathlon in the 2012 Olympics and at US Olympic Trials Eaton set the world record with a new benchmark of 9,039 points in this two day event! The Olympic decathlon is a 2 day event, but there is a non-Olympic decathlon with the same order of events as the Olympic one except it has to be completed in JUST 1 HOUR! The world record for the 1 hour decathlon is 7,897 points set in 1992 by Czech decathlete Robert Zmelik. The sport of decathlon evolved from the sport of pentathlon that was in the ancient Olympics, which included long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, track sprint, and finally a wrestling match. Pentathlons were introduced in Olympia during 708 BC and ignited the fire for centuries of athletes to seek the thrill for “all around athletic events.” Now, in 2012, Alicia Weber – 100+ x world record holder in strength and endurance would like to introduce you to the modern day alternative decathlon and pentathlon!

Alicia Weber is known as a very innovative, fun, and results-driven fitness trainer as well as a determined all around athlete. In celebration of the 100yr anniversary of the decathlon, Alicia set a world record in a 10 event rep-based Abdominal Decathlon on August 13, 2012. Alicia creatively combined 10 of the most challenging ab exercises (based on feedback from her clients and her own training experiences) and set these exercises up to go continuously for the most reps with less than 6 minutes of rest between exercises and Alicia broke 2 world records in individual rep-based ab exercises enroute to setting the new benchmark of 1,310 reps for the Abdominal Decathlon!

Alicia Sets RecordSetter World Record for Abdominal Decathlon

Alicia Weber earned the Record of the Day Recognition for her Abdominal Decathlon on August 14, 2012.

Next up on Alicia’s schedule was to celebrate the evolution of the sport of decathlon by going back to its roots in Olympia with the pentathlon. Alicia created a pentathlon called the “Towel Pull Up Pentathlon” where the highest score wins! Four of the events are all various types of towel pull ups testing maximum strength and are rep-based and one event is time based as one goes for the longest one arm towel grip dead hang. Each rep =1 point and each second = 1 point and the total points from the 5 events are tallied and the highest score wins! On August 16, 2012, Alicia broke one individual event world record in the consecutive full rep towel L pull ups enroute to setting the world record with 122 points for the Towel Pull Up Pentathlon.

Alicia's record in the Towel Pull Up Pentathlon made RecordSettter Record of the Day Recognition on August 19, 2012.

A record holder can earn “Record of the Day” with Recordsetter World Records, if their record becomes popular and demonstrates a high level of creativity and difficulty.

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.

Alicia Weber Sets 100 World Records in Physical Fitness from Feb 2008 – April 2012

On April 5, 2012, Alicia reached the monumental mark of setting 100 World Records ALL in exercise events except for two of the world records, which are in most different sports by Elite Athlete including…

Alicia Has 2 World Records for Competing in Most Variety of Sports on an Elite Level! Click Above Picture for Sport Listing & Results

Most Sports Competed In at Elite Level with One World Championship Victory (16 Sports)

Most Sports Competed In on Elite Level in One Year (10 Sports)

Starting on February 21, 2008, Alicia set her first world record in most consecutive bar dips in 5 minutes, which she considers her toughest record, which also took the longest for her to break (she finally broke her 1st world record on the Eve of her 100th WR on April 4th, 2012).

Alicia is known for setting and re-setting her own world records. She was a lone Record Breaker in uncharted territory with Book of Alternative Records where she set 60 world records for women’s exercise events from 2008 -2011. In 2008, Alicia became the World’s First Woman to set endurance pull-up and chin-up world records (and then she kept re-setting ALL these records). She didn’t stop there, and in 2009 she set pushup world records, which eventually landed her in the Official Pushup Hall of Fame and the only woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012 where she gave special interview. Alicia keeps improving and expanding her physical fitness record base and in 2012 she got noticed and was selected to be one of 25 extreme athletes to reveal secrets on how to stay tough in tough exercises. Alicia stepped up her game in 2012 when she joined Recordsetter.com, where she is able to compete co-ed in unrestricted exercise categories. RecordSetter is world’s fastest growing world record book and competition is co-ed. Alicia has already broken a handful of men’s world records in strength and endurance at Record Setter.

Alicia says, “At RecordSetter I get out of my comfort zone and I have enjoyed the male opposition. I have entered their territories to test myself in exercise categories I wouldn’t normally do and I am becoming an even better overall athlete for having the opportunity for this kind of challenge. I am happy about the good sportsmanship, creativity, but toughness in exercise categories, and ability to grow as a serious record breaker. This is only possible at Recordsetter.com.”

Alicia's Exclusive Strength Feat Shows

One fan that has been following Alicia’s record setting, since the start exclaims, “Now, that Alicia is at RecordSetter.com it has been very exciting to watch her dueling the men in the disciplines they are more into like plyometrics and short raw strength records. Alicia has jumped in their arena to challenge them and has taken the records. Before RecordSetter.com we only saw Alicia setting records far above anyone’s endurance and then keep testing her limits by re-setting her own records, which was exciting. But now that she is at RecordSetter, we see all angles of Alicia’s competitiveness and it is most exciting!”

In total, Alicia holds world records in 65 different categories of exercises. Alicia set 100 physical fitness world records from February 21, 2008 – April 5, 2012 (and she has re-set some of her records as many as 5 times!).

Alicia is now exclusively setting world records with RecordSetter World Record Book. She has so far set an additional 40 world records there to bring her record count to 100 as of April 5, 2012.

RecordSetter World Record Book has contests and awards and recognizes Top Record Breakers. It is very fair as all records require full documentation (i.e. record videos, etc) that are made public for viewing and public can judge on records also. Some records that are very different or need additional verification may go into a review panel discussion where the record setter might be questioned and then the questions and answers go into “Weigh In” where the public and judges weigh in on the statements and the verification process is extended as Alicia experienced in her final 2 records rounding her 100 count, but this is just a plus in why RecordSetter plays fair.

Alicia says, “It means a lot more when people can go in and read the rules for a record and then watch the entire record video, rather than see a name and statistic in a book. In addition, anyone can go in and see the entire record progressions for a Current World Record. RecordSetter has the legitimate and true way to present, set, and keep records. Anyone who is a serious record setter would want to be at RecordSetter.com. Another plus is you will know if your record is approved in 1-3 business days on average.”

Since Alicia made the switch to RecordSetter on Jan 12, 2012, her world records have earned top accolades (her records selected out of over 13,000 for honorable mentions) include the following:

Alicia earned # 1 Most Popular World Record for Feb 2012. In addition her world record for Most Consecutive Knuckle Pushups on Concrete was voted one of the Most Legendary!

Alicia earned # 3 Most popular World Record for April 2012 with World Record for Most Swiss Ball Squats in 1 Minute. This record was also selected for Editor’s Pick.

Alicia earned # 14 Most Popular World Record for April 2012 for her World Record for Fastest Time to Complete 500 Chin-Ups and 500 Push-Ups

Alicia earned # 16 Most Popular World Record for April 2012 for her World Record for Most 3 Med Ball Elevated Leg Pushups in One Minute

Alicia’s Most One Arm Pushups With Egg in Spoon in Mouth Balancing a 10lbs Medicine Ball on Back also earned Editor’s Pick.

In addition, 27 of Alicia’s World Records have made the List for Most Viewed World Records

Finally, 7 of Alicia’s World Records have been picked for the List of Most Popular World Records.

CLERMONT, FL ( Feb 7-14, 2012)—Alicia Weber broke 2 men’s world records and “pushed” to new levels in extreme strength and balance world record challenges as her week of record breaking got tougher each day.  All the following world records are published with Record Setter World Record Book – the world’s fastest growing world record book!  All her records this week involved pushups and balance and a few other additives as you will SEE!

On Feb 7, 2012, Alicia broke for the 4th time her 3 medicine ball pushup world record!  In 2010 she first set the world record with 35 reps in 1 minute, but now she has set the new world record with 52 reps in one minute!

World Record # 1 for Alicia in Strength Balance World Record Challenge Week

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2efILmpGyY

On Feb 9, 2012, Alicia broke the men’s world record by 5 reps to set new world record in Most One-armed Hindu Pushups on a Basketball.  Here she sets the record with 13 consecutive reps (although not required by the rules, Alicia holds her rest arm behind her back to hold the strictest standards to make exercise most difficult when performing the exercise).

World Record # 2 for Alicia in Strength Balance World Record Challenge Week

On Feb 10, 2012, Alicia created a new type of balance record, while holding an egg on a spoon in the mouth for the ENTIRE record.  Alicia began with 11 consecutive strict pullups, then with a maximum of 1 min rest allowed (Alicia only rested 38 seconds), she then completed 15 consecutive strict decline one arm pushups with legs only 2 feet apart or less resting on a surface of 18.5 inches high. This record and the ones that follow are inspired by Darryl Learrie – the record holder that made the raw egg famous with his one armed pushups on the raw egg!  This particular record has a tribute to Darryl Learrie in the beginning.

World Record # 3 for Alicia in Strength Balance Challenge Week

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulDgFv04kkg

On Feb 11, 2012, Alicia did a double record endeavor!  In AM she re-set her Most Consecutive 2 Medicine Ball Tricep Pushup with an Elevated Leg record..completing 25 consecutive reps in 1 minute.  Then, in the PM Alicia broke the men’s world record by going 28 reps over the record for the Most One-armed Pushups, while balancing an Egg on Spoon in Mouth

World Record # 4 for Alicia in Strength Balance Challenge Week

For this record, lower chest (below breast) must touch ball and then end with arms in full extension for a rep to count.  Alicia does 25 consecutive in 1 minute.  Her previous record was 10.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYmTrdHNq1c

World Record # 5 for Alicia in Strength Balance Challenge Week

Alicia breaks men’s world record and does 50 reps.  The previous record was 22 reps.  Then, the same day Alicia broke the men’s record, a man was in fury to get this record back and did 51 reps to re-claim record.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-PurI2-Fco

On Feb 14, 2012, on Valentine’s Day, Alicia showed “she had a lot of heart!”  Alicia “pushed” to a new level and completed her most demanding strength balance challenge of the week!  Alicia invents new record – a spin off from the one she just set, but this time she requires the strictest form and makes it even tougher! Alicia completes the Most Consecutive One-armed Pushups Holding a 10lbs Medicine Ball on Back While Balancing Egg on Spoon in Mouth.  In this record, a rope is also tied around her legs to keep them only 2 feet apart or less.  And guess what she makes it tougher, but SHE DOES EVEN BETTER! She does 59 reps NOW!

World Record # 6 for Alicia in Strength Balance Challenge Week

Alicia enters uncharted territory and completes 59 consecutive one arm pushups in very rare and tough form for world record!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyyKir_StEg

Alicia Weber was inducted in the Official Pushup Hall of Fame in 2012 and here’s what she says on her record week, “Our goal in the Pushup Hall of Fame is to “push” ourselves and others to new levels and get out of our comfort zones.  I did that this week, especially with the egg on spoon in mouth records.  I don’t practice balancing an egg on a spoon in my mouth, I just gave it a go for the first time this week.  The same is true for the hindu pushups.  My conditioning from other pushup/balance training carried over for these particular events.”

CLERMONT, FL–June 18, 2011, Alicia Weber receives exciting news from the officials at The Book of Alternative Records (the world’s 2nd largest record book).  She officially set 6 more world records from April -May 2011, which brings her world record count to 50 world records!

Alicia Weber Celebrates Reaching 50 World Records in this Bicep Flexing in a Dress Video!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1799l5iu9Q

Here are her 6 new world records set April – May 2011:

Rope Climbing —On April 1, 2011, Alicia recorded the fastest climb ever by a female up a 15ft rope (starting from a sitting position, using hands only for climbing). Then, on April 9, 2011, Alicia Weber set 3 world records within 1 hour (2:30-3:30pm) in Clermont, Florida, a city known for health and wellness.  All rope climbs were completed using hands only for climbing.  Legs just dangle.  She recorded the greatest height climbed on a 5 meter rope in 1 minute when she climbed 15 meters.  Following this world record, she recorded the fastest climb up a 5 meter rope and she climbed the fastest up a 20ft rope.

1 Leg Hopping—On April 10, 2011, Weber recorded the fastest time in the alternative track event called 1 leg hopping, 100 meter dash, where she hopped on one foot (the same foot for the full 100m) in a record time of 23.7 seconds.

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.”

Are you looking for a martial arts conditioning instructor in Central Florida? If so, you are at the Right Place. Or are you looking for some martial arts conditioning tips? If so, you are in luck.

Alicia Weber Fitness Trainer and Martial Arts Conditioning Specialist shows cool conditioning moves.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTbMmRmJbzY

No matter if you are a fencer, kickboxer, kata competitor, wrestler, boxer, or any other type of martial arts competitor – one thing is shared by all and that is SPARRING!! At some point in the training phase, sparring and sparring drills will come into play to keep one’s game on PAR.

Any fighter knows aerobics and strength are key, but other components need to be developed as well. Today we will briefly touch up on the 4 Key Components of Martial Arts Conditioning. It is really important to work all 4 components in each serious martial arts conditioning session. Those components should be followed in this order:
1.) Speed/Quickness/Reactive Ability – the most sensitive with fatigue accumulation and that’s why it should be first.
2.) Strength – after the former, the muscles are triggered for strength moves
3.) Endurance – at this time the workout becomes challenging and it trains the muscles to endure, which will be imperative for fights
4.) Flexibility – best improved when the body is warm (static stretching can tend to temporarily weaken muscles due to reduced overlap in muscle sarcomere – even more reason to end with flexibility)

So have you been covering the 4 components in your training sessions?

Do you need some martial arts conditioning in Central Florida? If so, you can contact Alicia at Awinningway@gmail.com and put “fitness” in subject line.

I kicked off my competitive season on Feb 6, 2011, at the 2011 Southern Sprints Indoor Rowing Championship in Melbourne, Florida. I shaved a second off my time in the 500m dash and took 4th place in a close race. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place were all within points of a second from each other, while the winner was 3 seconds ahead.

Next up, I visited what is to be for years to come the World Class Rowing Center in Sarasota, Florida, at Nathan Benderson Park.  This is a fabulous flat water 2,000m outdoor rowing course surrounded by a 5 mile trail.  I cycled along the trail as I videoed the lake and flexed my bicep (as I held the camera in the other hand).
