WR #23 came on 5/29/23 with 29 leg raises in one minute flexed bar hang (palm toward you grip). WR #24 came on 6/3/23 with 121 knee tucks in one minute, while in a flexed bar hang.

Alicia was over the moon to receive a special interview and photo shoot to review her competitions and record breaking history so far. She is featured in a 4 page healthy living section in both the online magazines above and in print AND she is a featured article on a website.

Alicia took a fabulous hiking/training/comedy trip to Bryce Canyon for a week. She enjoyed a lot of laughs and she had fun making some new comedy shows with her creative dad! She did some great, challenging run training at 7,700 – 8,300 feet and found it really paid off when she came back to sea level. First, STOP and cackle with her Bryce Canyon/Las Vegas comedy.

Alicia returned to Florida to set a slew of aerobic strength world records, place 85th in her 16th World Championship, do her first ever 10k and 1 hour SKiErg event (where she is currently ranked 3 and 1 woman in world this season so far), and set a handful of personal best cross country running times and lowering 4 of her lifetime cross country bests (see below). She believes the high altitude training (even though it was just 1 week) had a positive impact on her recent results. FIRST, we will show you the records she broke upon her return from trip.

WR # 26 – 106 one legged – 2 armed leaping mountain climbers in one minute 7/6/23
WR # 27 – 75 V-Mountain Climbers in One minute on 7/13/23
4 WORLD RECORDS BROKEN IN ONE BOUT… WR #28 – 144 REPS IN 2 MINS, WR #29 -192 REPS IN 3 MINUTES, WR # 30 -241 REPS IN 4 MINUTES, WR # 31 – 282 REPS IN 5 MINUTE FOR THE ONE LEGGED TWO ARMED LEAPING MOUNTAIN CLIMBER EXERCISE ON 7/16/23
3 WORLD RECORDS BROKEN IN ONE BOUT ON 7/18/23. WR # 32 – 151 v-mtn climbers in 3 mins, WR # 33 – 194 v-mtn climbers in 4 mins, and WR # 34 – 236 v-mtn climbers in 5 minutes.
WR # 35 – 114 V-MTN CLIMBERS IN 2 MINUTES ON 7/19/23.

Last but not least, listed below are Alicia’s personal bests in cross country running. Highlighted in RED are her new personal bests. Alicia is not a fan of the Super Shoe Era and she believes soft surface running is the best both for health, leg/foot strength, and longevity in running. She only promotes soft surface running in her running programs. Alicia has been wearing the New Balance 940v4 for years (trains and competes in this 11oz shoe). It is known to prevent plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.

World Record Woman’s First 90 Days of 2023: Records, Races, and Wildlife Encounters

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter Images below are copyright© Alicia Weber

In the first 90 days of 2023, Alicia “World Record” Weber broke 13 world records, competed in 10 races (winning 6 of them), completed her 15th World Championship, hosted a first-ever Cross Country Versatility Contest, saw hundreds of wild animals, AND MORE….

Alicia finally had time to catch up with her fans on all her 2023 adventures so far. We will start with the countdown on her 13 world records that she broke from Recordsetter, then we will talk about the races, and finally wild animals!

Alicia flew out of the starting blocks on Jan 1st like a sprinter and began attacking her own records that have been sitting around collecting dust for nearly 8 years now! She then engulfed some records that guys held or had bettered her – where she was coming to take them back!

WORD RECORD # 1 – Alicia totally smashed the consecutive 1 minute of Balance T Elevated Leg Pushups on 1/1/23 with 28 reps!

WORLD RECORD #2 Alicia smashes the 2 minutes of consecutive Balance T elevated Leg Pushups with 50 reps on 1/10/23.
World Record #3 – Alicia destroys the 3 minutes of consecutive Balance T Elevated Leg Pushups with 69 reps on 1/14/23
WORLD RECORDS #4 AND #5 – Alicia broke the 4 min (81 reps) and 5 mins (101 reps) in the consecutive Balance T elevated leg pushups on 1/15/23.

WORLD RECORD #6 – Alicia blew away the 10 minutes of consecutive Balance T elevated leg push-ups with 161 reps on 1/21/23.
WORLD RECORD # 7 – Alicia breaks the consecutive 15 minutes of Balance T elevated leg pushups with 221 reps on 1/26/23.
Alicia competed in her first major running race of the year on 2/4/23 on a hilly clay cross country course considered the hardest in Florida and one of the most challenging 5k races in US. She placed 2nd woman (5th overall) in a new best time. This is her third year to do race and third year to place 2nd woman overall. The following day on 2/5/23, Alicia did her first-ever feet against wall consecutive push-up challenge with 38 reps (two reps over the record set by a male). This would be her 8th world record.
WORLD RECORDS # 9 AND #10 – Alicia surprised herself and greatly improved these two world records in the 1 minute (22 reps) Balance T one arm elevated leg push-ups and 2mintues (40 reps) on 3/5/23.
WORLD RECORD # 11 – Alicia takes back a record that a male athlete bettered her in….she does 75 V Plank Jacks in 2 minutes on 3/31/23.
WORLD RECORDS #12 AND #13 – Alicia takes back more records where a male athlete bettered her….she now does 41 V Plank Jacks in a minute enroute to improving the 3 minute mark to 82 V Plank Jacks in 3 minutes on 3/31/23.

Alicia was excited to participate in The March 8th Worldwide International Women’s Day Challenge completing the same time as last year in the 5k indoor row race with 21:38 (currently ranked 53rd lightweight woman in world among verified results). Then, 10 minutes later – she competed in her first-ever 10k BikeErg race in a time of 23:13 and being ranked 63rd woman in world among verified results.

Two days later (3/10/23), Alicia switched to speed events and competed in the 1k indoor rowing sprint world championship placing 30th lightweight woman in the world. This is her 15th World Championship.

After 4 weeks of middle school distance running and sprint training – the middle school runners were able to compete in an unique and possibly world’s first-ever Cross Country Versatility Contest. The training and racing were created by Coach Alicia Weber. The coach also competed in the events and she did 12.6 seconds for the cross country 100 meter and approx 10 minutes later 5:32 for the cross country mile event. The “Versatility Contest” combines the 100 meter and mile events held back- to -back on soft cross country surface where athletes try to run their fastest times in both events. They are then scored by their finishing place. The lowest placing score wins “MOST VERSATILE”…Complete Results are at this link. The “Most Versatile” runner won both the 100 meter in 12.9 seconds and 1 mile in 6:47 – 13 year old Etienne!! The great news is that ALL runners ran personal bests in the 100 meter and the mile events. Some improved their mile times by 2 minutes!! It was a “runderful” and fun event for everyone!

FINALLY, we will talk about Florida wildlife. Alicia and her family have spring birthdays and they have a ritual of finding their birthday animals! They enjoy hiking and visiting animals either in the wild OR in zoos. They had 4 amazing experiences this spring.

Alicia’s mother’s birthday animal came in numbers – 3 ALLIGATORS!! She had a snappy birthday in Mt. Dora, Florida. She thought she was going to take a relaxing stroll and visit shops and eateries in Mt. Dora, but she ended up having a birthday of a lifetime with 3 alligators that joined in the celebration!!
Alicia’s father was specifically on a mission to find a gopher tortoise for his birthday. Alicia steered him to Showcase of Citrus in Clermont, Florida, and there he found a gopher tortoise (and A LOT more animals at the new and improved Showcase of Citrus).
Alicia was searching for several birthday animals. She was definitely wanting to see a Florida Manatee, which has no known enemies! She got really lucky on St. Patty’s Day and found 25 birthday manatees at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge! This is the place to see A LOT of manatees and it is only by foot. She also got to see her first mating manatee herd!
The search for “birthday animals” continued at Disney Animal Kingdom. This is the first time Alicia has been to Disney Animal Kingdom, since 2009. There are now a lot more animals and there is Asia and Africa that she could visit there! The family had a blast taking in hundreds of animals on their walk through Disney. Highlights are in video above. Alicia is known to cause monkeys to moon her. This seems to happen at all the zoos with monkeys and once again it happened at Animal Kingdom!

In each challenge, WRW uses strict form and does 100 consecutive pushups, but that is not required in the youtube challenge (rest breaks allowed). This challenge is the shortest of the three challenges. She saw the most improvement in the shortest amount of time with this challenge.

Challenge 2: The 210 Rep Plyo Aerobic Challenge to build done density and overall fitness – WRW invented this challenge to develop power, strength, and stamina. It is an overall leg and arm strengthener in a high aerobic environment. It is currently the longest of the three challenges. It involves mind and body training as a certain form and order has to be followed correctly – 0r else she has to redo reps.

Challenge Details:
1.) 25 reps of 90 degree deep jump squats where bent arm elbows must dip below the bent knees on the squats – repeat 25 times in one direction and 25 times in other direction (50 reps total)
2.) 50 burpee pushups with jump and overhead clap
3.) 50 alternating one leg burpee pushups with jump and overhead clap (150 total reps so far…)
4.) Repeat #1….. (200 reps so far from steps 1-4)
5.) Finally, end with 5 consecutive chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5 consecutive chest-to-bar chin-ups (chest touches bar on each rep to count).

This is Alicia’s first 210 REP Plyo Aerobic Challenge with the initial goal of breaking 15 minutes (she does 14:32)! Over the course of 71 days she progresses to 10:24.3!!!!

210 Rep Plyo Aerobic Progressions and Results:
9/19/22 performed first thing in AM for 14:32

11/8/22 performed in 10:53 (she then did the 50 pullups and 100 pushups 6 minutes AFTER the 210 rep challenge).
11/14/22 performed in 11:27 (6 minutes after doing the 50 pullups and 100 pushups in 3:14 – 5 seconds off her best time to date).
11/28/22 performed in 10:24 ( 6 minutes after doing the 50 pullups and 100 pushups in 2:51.9)!!
WRW Improved her speed by 28.45 percent over the course of 71 days (2 months, and 10 days).

Challenge 3: 270 REPS + ? IN 10 MINS – A total core aerobic ab workout that WRW created in August to challenge her core in an aerobic environment. This final challenge involves all core in an aerobic fashion – ALL OUT 10 minute workout for most reps. WRW put a variety of interesting exercises in a series to a get a total body core workout. The goal is to do 270 reps and still have time left over in the 10 minute time frame to do extra reps of a final ab exercise to finish out the 10 minutes. So unlike the other challenges that are are based on improving time – this challenge is to increase reps.

Challenge Details:
1.) 50 reps with 10lbs med ball combo exercise – knee tuck situp (strict form)
2.) 50 reps wide leg flutters in a 6 inch hold
3.) 10 reps of 10lbs med ball chest presses, while maintaining 6 inch hold

7.) 50 consecutive reps of 22cm diameter med ball pushups (270 reps so far…)
8.) whatever time is remaining – do as many Table Top 10lbs med ball ab twisties (strict form) till 10 minutes. Final Score will be 270 reps + ? = 10 minutes

Above is video of WRW’s best 10 minute AB result with 440 reps!! This was her fifth and final attempt to improve in the longest time frame of improvement of the three challenges (99 days).

In 99 days (3 months and 7 days) WRW improved her 10 minute ab challenge by 38.64 percent. It was the greatest improvement of the three challenges, but she was given the most time to improve as well.
Here are progressions and results:
8/23/22 performed only 270 reps in 10 minutes. She did the 270 reps in 9:43, but did not push herself to do twisties till 10 minutes.
8/24/22 performed a total of 324 reps (270 reps + 54 10lbs med ball ab twisties).
9/2/22 performed a total 374 reps (270 reps + 104 10lbs med ball ab twisties).
