Muscle Woman Becomes Fastest Person to Set 50 Exercise World Records

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Fitness Professional, Alicia Weber, decided to test her energy levels by not only setting world records covering upper body, lower body, and core exercises – BUT setting them the fastest!

From April 24 – June 24, 2012, Alicia set 50 exercise world records in 62 days for an Official RecordSetter World Record.

Alicia said, “I only had 2 days off of work in 62 days as a fitness trainer and I carried the momentum to set these records relentlessly and I am very happy to see what my energy levels are capable of doing.”

I asked Alicia’s Fitness Associate to describe Alicia and she said, “The first thing I think of are her high energy levels that stand out. She is a powerhouse that keeps going. Alicia puts the same all out effort in helping all her fitness trainees. Alicia is a very dedicated and competent trainer that has received great reviews!”

In the process of Alicia setting 50 exercise records the fastest, she also set the RecordSetter World Record for the Most Exercise Records Set, Running Races Won, and Record of the Day Awards Earned in ONE Month in May 2012.

In comparing apples to oranges, Alicia set 50 exercise world records in 62 days covering upper body, lower body, and core exercises at RecordSetter and the best male (also a fitness trainer) set 51 exercise world records covering upper and lower body in 151 days with Record Holder’s Republic. It would make sense that fitness trainers would hold these speed records for setting exercise records.

Alicia said, “I train all ability levels and people with all sorts of fitness goals. So setting these exercise records makes me more able to guide them as the more I achieve, the more I am able to help others achieve through my experiences in achieving all around physical fitness.”

Here is Alicia’s Official RecordSetter World Record video showing all 50 Exercise World Records set in 62 days

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

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

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…

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.

    Here are her 7 Most Popular World Records Based on Viewer Votes in Order of Most Popular First:

Weber sets 3 RecordSetter Pull-Up World Records in 22 minutes!

By: Weber Way to Wellness Click here to visit JD Productions.

On March 18, 2012, after a long day of working, Alicia’s endurance kicked in and out popped 3 new Record Setter Pull-Up World Records completed in just 22 minutes!  Alicia started her world record rampage at 5:28pm, where she broke the world record for the most consecutive half-rep towel pull-ups by competing 41 reps.  The former record of 29 was held by Derrick Clark  – a Record Setter Exercise Innovator that holds a variety of tough, but very creative exercise records.

Next, Alicia attacked a new type of pull up world record at 5:42pm a spin off on the last record only this time it is for most consecutive full-rep towel pull-ups and she completed 35 reps.

Finally, rolling out her final world record of the day at 5:49pm, Alicia broke the world record for most pushup/pullup combos in 1 minute by completing 14 combos.  The former record was 10 combos held by Record Setter’s 6th most prolific world record holder Alex Cunningham.

Alicia Weber’s 45 Minutes of Maximum Strength World Records!

By:  Weber Way to Wellness Reporter Click here to visit JD Productions.

CLERMONT, FL—On May 27, 2010, Alicia Weber pushed her limits to maximum strength within 45-minutes and the results – MORE WORLD RECORDS!

Inspired by the Legendary Jesse Owens greatest achievement in track and field where he set 3 world records and tied a 4th within 45 minutes on May 25, 1935 at the Big 10 Championship, Alicia Weber (former champion track and field runner and current Strength Athlete) wanted to see how many maximum strength world records she could garner within 45-minutes.

Go to AliciaWeber.com/shows
Now Playing "World Record Weber - 45 Minutes of Maximum Strength World Records" found exclusively at videoteasing.com and aliciaweber.com/shows

Alicia picked 6 maximum strength exercises that increase in the level of difficulty through adding components of coordination/balance and both large and small muscle groups as the rest time decreased.  She had 9 minutes of rest after her first exercise and less than 2 minutes of rest before her last exercise.

She began and ended with exercises based on speed and strength. Her 1st exercise with 37 pull-ups in 1 minute is the official new world record and her last exercise of 18 ring dips in one minute is the official new world record Both published world records and she is now in a new World Record Book: Believe the Unbelievable: the Ultimate Book of World Records and the People who Pursue Them

Alicia’s 2nd -5th exercises were meant to wear her out a little and make the last minute of ring dips challenging.  Alicia says, “I did a set of 35 consective pull-ups then 30 consecutive chin-ups followed by 11 handstand pushups in a minute (where head comes to floor each rep) and finally the hardest type of dip – ring L position dips.  Consecutive exercises are very taxing on the muscles and then the handstand pushups and ring L dips are the most challenging of all these exercises with their elements of balance and use of large and small muscle groups.”

The final results:  5 world records in 45-minutes.  However, the consecutive pullups/chinups and handstand pushups will not be published because those categories are not open. The international governing body needs to restrict categories and the rules are very strict.  Alicia’s Ring L position Dips were declined a world record, since not all the reps were perfect.

Required for this record, Alicia had a surveillance camera following her and 4 other cameras getting different views of the exercises performed.  The 45 minute surveillance video is now turned into a show for purchase called “World Record Weber – 45 Minutes of Maximum Strength World Records” found exclusively at Videoteasing.com and AliciaWeber.com

Alicia Weber is a 30+ x Official World Record Holder in Strength and Endurance.

All-Around Athlete, Alicia Weber Sets 11 Physical Fitness World Records and 2 Rare Strength Feats in 33 days!

Whenever I wasn’t exercising as a kid, I would kick back with a book on world record setting athletes and I would get enraptured.  I knew very early on I would be a world record setting athlete.  My doctor grandfather met many of the great athletes I read about and he shared stories with me.  He was a gastroenterologist  that wrote for the American Medical Association and he also knew that I would be a world record holder one day.  He had me be strict with my eating and exercise as he prepared me for a life of discipline and dedication to my passion —sports.

I was inspired most to read about the athletes of the 1920’s – 1960’s that overcame so much to set records and achieve extraordinary athletic achievements. The athletes of those days had to overcome war times, family and personal strife, and the Great Depression.  Today, I am now a world record setting athlete in many record books including…

Believe the Unbelievable: the Ultimate Book of World Records and the People who Pursue Them

I hold over 25 world records in strength, speed, and endurance.  From February 6, 2010 – March 9, 2010, I set 11 world records and 2 rare strength feats covering all 5 areas of physical fitness.

Muscular Strength and Endurance:  I started my world record rampage by re-setting my former 1 hour pullup world record by more than 150 reps for 721 reps an hour(enroute to re-setting my 30-minute WR) on February 6, 2010.  I then re-set my 1 minute, 3 minute, and 1 hr chin up world records.  In early March I became the 1st Woman to set an endurance 1-Arm Pushup World Record by completing 105 reps in 10-minutes. See here for Official Pullup/Chinup  and Pushup World Record Results.

Cardiovascular Strength and Endurance:  During high school an easy day would be jump rope  running around the track 25 times for 10,000 meters. I would use a light weight speed jump rope.  The jump rope endurance training prepared me to set records and compete on the National level during high school in events from 800m -10,000m runs with U.S.A Track and Field.  I started in 7th grade and my best event was the 400m( I qualified for the 1996  Junior Olympic National Championship in that event) but didn’t compete as I focused on my distance running and became a National Champion in distance running.  Today, I started with the 400m jump rope track run and set a world record using a weighted 1.5lbs jump rope on February 21, 2010.  I then set 2 more jump rope world records with the weighted 1.5lbs jump rope in single-foot rope skipping for 30-seconds and 3-minutes.  Visit Alicia’s myspace to watch jump rope videos.

Flexibility and Abdominal Strength and Endurance:
On February 17, 2010, I completed 17 consecutive reps of Ring Dips in 1-minute to set a world record.  The ring dips were done in a difficult way to add the elements of both flexibility and abdominal strength and endurance in with the exercise. I kept my legs in L-Feat position with my legs perpendicular to my torso. *The hardest type of ring dips are where the legs are held straight out and parallel to the ground – those are officially called “Ring L Dips”.

Note:  I also set an abdominal endurance world record on September 26, 2009 where I did 613 situps (legs held down, hands behind ears, elbows must touch lateral knee each time for rep to count) in 30-minutes.

 Balance and Stability:
From March 6 – 9, 2010, I did a variety of strength/balance pushups for records on 2 and 3 med balls measuring 22 cm diameter.  I did 35 reps of pushups while balancing on 3 med balls for an official world record.  I then did 2 other types of balance/strength pushups that  observers described as “rare and difficult”. These 2 other pushups were completed on 2 and 3 med balls with an elevated leg.  Due to the specialization and rare nature of these 2 types of pushups, they were not officially published in the current record books.  However, they may be entered in a future record book.  Med ball balance exercises are very common to Olympic Kayakers.  As a K-1 sprint kayaker, I need to constantly challenge my balance in order to become a better and stronger kayaker, since the sport at the highest level is about being able to balance on such a skinny, tippy boat.  Here are highlights of the 2 types of rare and difficult medicine ball pushups. 


2 Rare and Difficult Strength/Balance Feats

My current records are 6 reps for a minute of 1 elevated leg 2 med ball pushups (22 cm diameter) and 25 reps for 1 minute of 1 elevated leg 3 med ball pushups.  My World Records are also listed online with World Record Holder’s Republic and the Book of Alternative Records.  I continue to chase new world records and re-set my own.

Outside of world record setting, I compete in 10-sports as an elite athlete and I am a fitness trainer. Some of my sports include sprint kayak, triathlon, trail and mountain distance running, track and field, rowing, road racing, time trial bike racing, open water swimming, and stand up paddle boarding.  I have published a book on physical fitness and it is available online here.
