Endurance “Eggsercise” Fitness Challenges with Alicia Weber

By: Alicia Weber

I was first inspired by Darryl Learie in 2011 to take up “Eggsercise”. The year 2012 was my time to really get into eggsercise for the benefits of adding more balance, coordination, and muscular control in with standard exercises. I particularly enjoy mixing eggsercise challenges in with my arm exercises to make them a lot harder and more challenging for me. In 2012 I debuted at Recordsetter with a variety of Eggsercise World Records and I share some of those world record videos with you here!

1. Most Consecutive Egg on Spoon In Mouth Pull Ups in One Minute

This record was probably one of my most popular records set in 2012 as it earned Record of the Day AND I took 4th place in the Record of the Month Challenge in May 2012 for the quest of the most popular record set with Recordsetter. I first set the record in May 2012 and then re-set it in December 2012 as you can see below:

2. Most Consecutive 4 Finger Egg on Spoon In Mouth Pull Ups in One Minute

This record was first set in May 2012 and it received Record of the Day at Recordsetter, but didn’t receive quite the height of acclaim as the standard pull up with the egg on the spoon in the mouth.

3. Most Consecutive Egg On Spoon in Mouth L Pull Ups in One Minute

This record was set shortly after the egg on spoon in mouth pull up records became popular at Recordsetter in May 2012. I opened this category at Recordsetter and set this record in June 2012.

4. Longest Time to Hold Egg on Spoon In Mouth While Maintaining L Isometric 90 degree Hold

5. Longest Time to Perform One Arm Half-Way Chin with Egg on Spoon In Mouth

6. Most Consecutive Ring Dips holding 40% of One’s Bodyweight Between Feet, while Balancing Egg On Spoon In Mouth

7. Most Consecutive One Arm Pushups Balancing 10lbs Medicing Ball on Back with Egg on Spoon In Mouth

This record was my first stand alone eggsercise record set with Recordsetter in February 2012 and this record earned a lot of acclaim, Record of the Day, and Editors Pick with Recordsetter. This one record caused me to train and set many more eggsercises throughout 2012!

I have to put out an Eggcellent effort for all these records where I set a total of 10 Eggsercise Recordsetter World Records in the year 2012. I hope you enjoyed a taste of this “eggsercise”. Have an eggstatic time eggsercising!!

12 Days of Fitness Challenges to Count Down to Christmas 2012!

By: Alicia Weber

This year I took up a challenge suggested by a fan and it is the 12 Days of Christmas Record Challenge. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do 12 days of records in a row because of my busy schedule, but I put my mind to it and somehow pulled it off! However, I didn’t it start 12 days before Christmas and end on Christmas. I started the Count Down on December 9th and ended on December 20th. Here I have my 12 days in a row of endurance strength exercises for Christmas!!

Take a look! Do you have a favorite challenge?

DAY 1 (December 9, 2012) Most Consecutive Triple Egg on Spoon in Mouth Bosu Knee Tucks With Egg on Spoon In Mouth Perfect Pull-Ups

I created this new challenge after breaking the consecutive knee tuck record for the 6th time this year at Recordsetter. I needed to try something more challenging after doing 513 consecutive knee tucks on December 6th. In this challenge, I add the Bosu and 3 eggs to balance and I only do 16 knee tucks. A far cry from my 513, but this is MUCH MORE challenging. Then, I keep going…See full scoop here:

Day 2 (December 10, 2012) Most Consecutive Bar Runner Exercise

I did this challenge for the first time this month. This challenge was created by a NY fitness trainer. I found this to be very aerobic and definitely gives the muscles a good burn!!

Day 3 (December 11, 2012) Most Reps in 10-Minute Extreme Pushup and Deep Squat Variety Act

This is yet another first time challenge where I combined many advanced level types of squats and then pushups together and went continuous for 10 minutes for most reps. Each exercise was 1 minute in length. My results 297 total reps. Too many wild exercises in this bout to describe, watching is best!

Day 4 (December 12, 2012) Most Reps in 1hr of Consecutive Reptile-Pushups

This is one challenge I have building my endurance for all year. I set several short duration speed records at Recordsetter earlier in the year and this was the final year end review of my fitness in a challenge that is 3-5 times tougher than standard pushups. 1 Reptile + 1 Pushup = 1 Rep See why this challenge is so much tougher than a normal pushup here:

Day 5 (December 13, 2012) Longest Swiss Ball Leg Lift Cadence Test

Just a day after completing the grueling reptile-pushups that shred the abs, I jump into one of the toughest types of cadence tests isolating the abdominals and improve my time by 9 minutes!

DAY 6 (December 14, 2012) Most Reps in Weighted Double L Challenge

This challenge was created to take the entire core to a maximum burn in a very short period of time with the first exercise and then continue with the second exercise, while still on fire!! The goal is to push thru the pain for maximum reps! I bet you will be surprised at the 2 exercises that really put the abs on fire! One clue – the first one is an exercise in gymnastics…Find out more here:

DAY 7 (December 15, 2012) Most Alternating Squat Thrusts in One Minute

World Wecord Wabbit returns today to take back her record. I set this record as the wabbit for Halloween and it became one of the Top 15 Most Popular Recordsetter World Records for 2012. Now, I return with a new record 372 alternating thurst in a minute and I am joined with a BIG friend…Find Out:

DAY 8 (December 16, 2012) Most Consecutive Shoulder Level Perfect Pull-Ups

This is a new “twist” to pull-up challlenge. Take a look!

DAY 9 (December 17, 2012) Fastest 84ft Combo Crab Walk

During, my trainees “Holiday Record Week” we turned a ballroom into a speed course for crab walking!! I went after the overall record for the 84ft crab walk with a time of 12.43 seconds, while my trainees “Hammer Head” took the master’s world record in a time of 20.59 seconds!

DAY 10 (December 18, 2012) Highest Score in Triple Exercise with Triple Eggsercise Challenge

This is a very challenging muscular endurance test where one can’t do it unless they are able to do 20 consecutive strict pull-ups, 20 consecutive bar dips where arms break parallel, and then 20 consecutive decline pushups and repeat for 17 minutes. Then, go into the Sumo Squat Eggsercise. Hopefully, I peaked your interest, so go ahead and have a peak:

DAY 11 (December 19, 2012) Longest Distance with Egg-On-Spoon-In-Mouth Hanging Arm Walk

This is a new type of extreme arm walk where you need to keep an egg balanced on spoon. Once it falls, the walk is over! Hang in there and check it out:

DAY 12 (December 20, 2012) Most Consecutive Egg-ON-Spoon-In-Mouth Pullups in One Minute

I wanted to end my challenge in an eggstatic style with an eggcellent effort during this Christmas Count Down and re-set the Recordsetter record with 16!

There you have my 12 Days of Records!!

Now, take a glimpse at my “2012 Holiday Record Week”. I held this event on December 17th and 2 of my trainees set Recordsetter World Records.

Darryl Learie Lands in Ripley’s Believe It or Not with his “Eggsercise”

By: Alicia Weber

Darryl Learie reached the pinnacle of success when his world record for most one armed pushups on a raw egg was selected to be in The 2013 Hard Cover Annual “Ripley’s Believe It or Not – Download The Weird” 9th annual book on page 160. There’s stiff competition to get into this exclusive and sought after record book – there were 25,000 entries and only a small percent of them were selected to be in this book.

Darryl Learie is into eggsercise and he is originator and record holder for the one arm pushup on the raw egg!

This by no means is Darryl’s only world record – he currently holds over 100 world records between RecordSetter World Records and The Book of Alternative Records where he holds records in exercise, human body achievement, and weird science (and he has set over 330 world records!!). However, the one armed pushup on the raw egg inspires awe, creativity, interest, and a level of difficulty that sparks the imagination.

Robert H. Schuller says it is “the round pegs in the square holes” – the nonconformists that are the innovators, the movers and shakers that push the human race. Darryl Learie is one of them and his one armed pushup on the raw egg record signifies this meaning where he “pushes” to new levels what was thought possible.

Darryl Learie is also a member of the Official Pushup Hall of Fame and he feels tragedy makes triumph. If Darryl had been popular in high school and the star athlete in a sport like football or basketball, he would have become content and not have “pushed” himself to be who he is today.

Like Darryl, all members of Pushup Hall of Fame (i.e. Charles Servizio, Paddy Doyle, the late Charles Linster, Roy Berger, Robert Lewis Knecht, Mich Gooch, Giuseppe Cusano, Flavio Codarin, Shaun McDaniel, and myself Alicia Weber) are nonconformists that push the human race to further achievement and only nonconformists know it is not easy.

Darryl’s “tragedy to triumph” days were during high school where he developed the motivation to be tough and shoot for unconventional feats rather than conventional sports. These were the days that appeared to be a tragedy to him as he stuck out like sore thumb with no friends, no support, only bullying and other issues he had to overcome alone (click here or refer to video below to hear his story). During these high school days, Darryl was mature enough to know that tough times never last, but tough people do and trying times are just times preparing one for a triumph. He kept an upbeat personality and he didn’t get bitter only better…

The result of Darryl toughening out all the trying times is that he has become the World’s 3rd most prolific world record setter!

You better believe that Darryl wouldn’t change anything and he is thankful for the “tragedy” and he is eggstatic over the “eggsercise” triumph!

If you are a nonconformist, you go places no one else goes and you are mentally and physically stronger for it. Once you get through the times that test your nonconformity, you become a leader and you won’t want to turn back.

Darryl Learie’s entry into the world’s most sought after record book – Ripley’s Special Edition 2013 (Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Special Edition) is a testimony on believing in himself and following his road of nonconformity with eggsercise!

A BIG Congrats to Darryl!!

Here Darryl sets the World Record in the One Armed Pushup on the Raw Egg with 8 reps!

Here is Darryl’s Story of Tragedy to Triumph and his Pinnacle of Success in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not”
