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!
