Survivor Fitness Challenge #2 (Shanti is an Athlete!)

[AudioArticleMarketer]

you are adorable!

[krazy77grl]

How can you find out how many calories I burn lifting weights for my body t ype???

[vio29]

you're push ups were sooo adorable, and what a sweetie to help you back up ;p ..... also i am totally impressed with your rollerblading skills. if i do it for more than 10-15 minutes my calves just start screaming

[antishay]

LOL thanks :P

I have strong legs.

[fooferino]

I never used to rollerblade because I was soo scared. But at my middle school, we just finished rollerblading/climbing, and when you go mwith your friends..IT IS SO FUN!

[antishay]

It is! When the weather gets nicer I am going to start rollerblading all the time :D

[fooferino]

you just keep getting skinnier! Nice job:)keep on going

[antishay]

HAha, well, that's the idea ;)

Thanks!

[knutcracka]

I can't rollerblade. :( I would fall on my butt...

[antishay]

No, you must try!

[weightwatchersgirl]

love the push ups! you look great!

[antishay]

Thanks!

[simplystrick]

the competition is over, you win...another great vid...

[antishay]

Haha! Thank you :D:D

[Frankinjessie]

great video as always and I so adore the fact that you could give a shit about people being around when your filming.

[antishay]

:D lol thank you!

[angielova]

do you ever show before and after of what you look like, all isee is your face

[antishay]

I do when I hit milestone weight losses. I'm due to make one next week now that I've hit 40 Lbs lost. Stay tuned...

[locadear]

hahahhhahahahaha Ive sooo been there w those darn push ups!!!

... you're doing great!!!!!

[antishay]

:D Thanks!

[amandajoyyy]

haha my boyfriend is my weight lifting "trainer" too : P fun fun!

[antishay]

Fun! :D

[ampkg]

do u think i will maybe get a flat stomach by march/april. i started in august dont say u cant tell wot do u think let me knw

[antishay]

I have no idea - it completely depends on the amount of fat that is over your stomach and the amount of toning that you do (abs and obliques workouts).

[Nicsaprincess]

Shanti Rock's:)

One of my goal's is to be able to do a onehanded push up..while wearing High-Heel's:)

[antishay]

HAHahahahaha good luck with that!! :D

[dreamnqueen64]

Your pushup "squeals" made me laugh..but they ARE tough! lol

[antishay]

LOL thanks - OMG they are! :D

[Ltrainswifey]

I would love to be able to do all these exercises you get outside to do but I have 3 small children....any suggestions?

[antishay]

Hmmmm... tough one! There seem to be three options. 1. Go without the kids (babysitter? husband watch them in the evening?), 2. find a way to take them along with you :), or 3. find different exercises for inside the home.

I know a lot of people who do the BeachBody PowerSculpt videos (and other BB videos), and several people do the Turbo Jam videos :D Also, several people swear by the Biggest Loser workout DVD's. Run around at the park with the kids? Attach a buggy to the bike?

[sarsy]

I just want you to know that I went out and did almost 3 HOURS of run/walking because of your video, and I saw some of your hardcore rollerblading dudes who hold their arms back and I laughed a little. OMG I burned 1200 calories and I need to run 9 miles tomorrow. x.x;

[antishay]

Yesssss!! :D Way to go. LOL aren't the inline skaters great? :P I want to be them.

WOWW well done. ;) Congrats!!

[KaToTheCee]

You're kicking so much ass! Push ups are freakin hard! haha!

[antishay]

Thank you :) YES THEY ARE!!

[TurboCourtney]

such a good vid!

I love you laughing and screaming doing the push ups, lmao, so cute!

Good job on Pounds Girl! You rock!

[antishay]

Thank you! LOL <3

[swtprpgrl32]

Great video! Congrats on the loss this week!!!! YAY:)

[antishay]

Thanks!! *bounces*

[JanoelT]

OMG I am so proud of your accomplishments! Congrats!

[antishay]

Thank you!

[vzballa]

CON-FREAKIN-GRATS! What a great week for you, and exercise feels soo great I bet! Good Job on the loss as well, 2.8 lbs that is incredible! Keep up the wonderful work!

[antishay]

Thank you! YAYAY!

I am having a very good week indeed :D

<3

[SparklemotionX]

Great Job! Thank you for showing those exercises.  I am going to try them.

[antishay]

You're welcome! I hope you have fun trying them out!

I would do some research first, if I were you. Sean was very specific when training me, about the order in which you do the exercises, and the weight amount for each, the angle of the hands and the elbows... there's a lot to doing it properly!

Good luck :)

[WingedSeed]

What program do you use to chart your courses, with elevation and everything? That's pretty cool! I have a brand new pair of rollerblades that have sat in my closet for years now...I'm so scared of rollerblading! If you can believe it, it makes me feel claustrophobic! I feel like I can't escape from the wheels strapped to my feet! (Yeah, I'm nuts...)

[antishay]

It's an awesome site: mapmyrun(.)com. I use them to map all of my runs, bike rides, and now rollerblading routes ;) I have an account and save all of my runs, so if I repeat one I don't have to re-map it. :D You can also keep a training schedule and add your activities to it to keep track and you can find other people's runs in your area for ideas... :D

Oh you should try to get into it! It's great!! I <33 rollerblading now. It's my favorite exercise, along with biking :)

[beyerprep]

how are you finding out how many calories your burning through exercise? a web site? do tell=)

[antishay]

I use calorie-count(.)com for general calorie info, and thedailyplate(.)com for more specific calories according to my weight :D

I also use those two sites to find out the calories in all of my foods that don't have labels. If one doesn't have it, usually the other does :D

[beyerprep]

LOL!!! but arent you glad you finished

[antishay]

Yes ;)

[chellagirl24]

congrats on the 2.8 i cant wait for the 40lb video!

[antishay]

Thank you! I want to make the video NOW but I think I'll have to wait until Saturday or even until after halloween because I honestly have no time whatsoever. :(

Thanks!

[crookedstevesaint]

great vid.

i like the hilarious parts.

but i'm feeling inspired to rollerblade.

How is it on the knees?

[antishay]

HAhAhahahaHAhahaha thanks.

I don't know - I hadn't thought about the knees... less stressful than walking or running?

:)

[theshrinkingnurse]

wow you did totally awesome as usual! great ideas on the routines! i love pushups now that i can do more than 1! lol they get totally better once you have built up enough mass to 'push' your body :D

great video!

[antishay]

Thank you :D I can't wait until I can do 1 damn push-up!! :(

Thanks!

[allisonpacino]

I think this is a great routine for you.You really seem happy and plus you're burning A LOT of calories for sure :) This was a great video and it's motivated me to find my nitch :)

[antishay]

Thank you :D Yeah I think rollerblading and biking are really my favorite exercises because no matter how hard I'm working, I'm always having fun :D

[sarsy]

OMG, your pushups KILLED ME. I died. The flailing girly screams are so cute. XD

You should do the girly pushups and move up from there. I can only do 10 pushups so the rest I do girly. The first time I did pushups in the park my friend's boyfriend was there to make fun of me, but that's okay because he runs like a chicken without a head! LOL

OMG, it is sooo hilly in Brooklyn that every time I went out rollerblading this summer I thought I was going to DIE. Lots of flailage.

[antishay]

LMAO thank you? :D I squeal a lot... Sean calls me "squeakybot."

>.>

I DID DO the push-ups all girly! With my knees on the ground? I did! I am SO WEAK! :(

But these we're close-grip push-ups. I can do a few "normal" wide-grip push-ups, thank heavens. I do have SOME arm/chest muscle :P

Seattle is super super hilly, which is why I decided to rollerblade on the trail around the lake, which is hilly but manageable. I thought about doing the course I bike but I think that would = death. ;)

[sarsy]

Squeakybot! I will probably chase you and try to make you squeal on Halloween, mwahahahah. >D

Pushups are HARD! I should try the close grip ones and see how bad my tris will hurt the next day lol

Yay for no Shanti death

[antishay]

HAhahahahaha that will be fun...

They are! I will keep trying, though. That's the only way I'll every build any strength :P

Yay, indeed ;)

[walkingprincess]

That is great improvement on your bike speed, especially considering you were sore from the rollerblading/weight lifting. Great job all week!

[antishay]

It was! Thank you - I was so excited :D

Thanks!

[ampkg]

wow thats well cool

the weights u lift how heave r the weights in kg

[antishay]

Bench press I did up to 18.2 kg.

All the free weights with black weights on them were 3.2 kg.

The small ones I used at the end (just silver bars) are 0.45 kg.

[Tauris75]

What is Muscle milk? I haven't heard of it.

I was cracking up watching your attempts at pushups and love the squeal lmao!!!

[antishay]

I made a video about it in June... entitles Muscle Milk and Fruit Smoothies... I suggest you watch that :D

It's a complex protein powder that you mix with milk. It tastes like a smoothie and DRASTICALLY reduces soreness after working out, so that you can keep going day and day again without having to stop because you're so sore :P

Thank you! lol

[trboh]

You are so lucky. When you make that little squeel while doing your pushups everyone thinks it is cute. When I do that everyone looks and shakes their head and calls me names. It's not fair.

[sarsy]

Oh trboh, you're cute too <3

[antishay]

AHAHahaHAhHAhahahaHAhahahaHAHa­hH ROFL. <3

Life's not fair :(

I wish I could just DO the damn pushup! Instead of entertaining people by how much I can't do it! :P

[JuneBugPins]

What a great video! Felt like we lived part of your week with you! lol Great job with your working out...that is super. Also it seems as if you have Great support with your weight-training. Let us know how that is coming..You may even be able to one day show all of us newbies the best way to do that! :c)

And..as always...I love seeing the surrounding area of where you live. I do miss that area...enjoy!

Have a great Weekend!

[antishay]

Thank you! :)

I will keep up with both and probably make more videos in the future.

I <333 Greenlake... it is so pretty, especially this time of year :)

Thanks!

[soylaunica76]

Great video! It looks like you had so much fun doing everything! :)

[antishay]

Thank you :D I had a blast :)

[FindingKristy]

Looks like you had a lot of fun this week :) When i did my pushups I thought I was going to die!! You made me want to dig out my rollerblades!! :) Fantastic loss!! Congrats.

[antishay]

Yay! I did! Thanks - go rollerblading! It's such fun :D

[julietsy]

Another rocking video! You look glowing and huge kudos for the new workout routine. I still cannot do push-ups to save my life... hmmmm do i hear challenge :) Really fantabulous!!!

[antishay]

Thank you! If we both keep up *doing* push-ups, eventually our efforts will pay off and maybe we'll be able to do one each!! :P

LOL

Thanks!

[coquinat]

Oh my god, the first day I did push up types of things for gym class I was sore for days afterward, but I can do them so much better after 2 weeks! You're doing amazing!!

[antishay]

Thank you! I can still only do 1 - and with Sean's help! :I

:P <33

[excitebyke]

why don't you shut the fuck up? you don't know everything. and you're not that attractive.

[deejayess]

Look at the big man! Picking on a girl who's trying to do something good for herself. Oh, I bet it makes your penis feel HUGE. Must be horrible to suck as bad as you. Too bad. Now, kiss your mommy goodnight, run along to her basement and go to bed, fag.

[deejayess]

(And no offense meant to the cool people who I know that are, in fact, gay.)

[wickymay]

whoa! I am blown away! I was wondering where you've been, lol.But really awesome vid & overall work out. Its really amazing *2thumbs up!*

I rollerblade too & am constantly made fun of by my bro cause he thinks its sissy stuff, but it not! lol

THe push up part was toooo funny. maybe you could start by inclining towards the wall on your tippy-toes & then graduate to lower levels like the kitchen counter then the stairs and such. that helped me during volleball camp.

your doing great! take care.

[antishay]

LOL thank you :) I was working my ass off!!! :D

I <3 rollerblading now. It is a BLAST and it works so many muscles! XD

Thank you! :P <3

[zurplemoon]

you looked like you were having fun weight lifting. he gave you a frontal wedgie that would get me up so fucking fast head would spin lol

yay on 2.8 the scale is moving rock on

[antishay]

HAHahhahaahhaha lol thanks :D It wasn't painful at all - he didn't pull up, just back, so it pulled up on my tummy ;P

<33 :D Thank you!

[WWBraveNewGirl]

OMG you two are ADORABLE. I don't want this to sound creepy but you have such a cute scream/squeal (whatever it's called). Arched backs are for camels. That was awesome! lol. Great job and I love the gun shot he sneaked in. OMG! Great job on the weight loss. Keep it up my dear. You're doing awesome.

[antishay]

HAhaha thank you :P

You are not creepy! <3333 Sean is a great trainer :D

Thank you!

[WWBraveNewGirl]

Thanks for not thinking that was creepy. I was cracking up the whole time and when he grabbed you by the back of the pants? I was dying! Great video my dear.

[antishay]

HAhaha, apparantly that's how his kung fu teacher trained him! :P

<33!

[WWBraveNewGirl]

I think it worked, you were getting better at them each time you did another one. You're an animal and I mean that in a total...I'm in awe of what you did. lol.

[antishay]

HAHAhahAHHAHAHahahHAHAhahahaha OMFG LMAO.

<33 Thanks :D

[WWBraveNewGirl]

I was really confused as to why you were laughing SO much. I had to go check my last comment to you. I swear, I'm a ding dong. I should not be allowed to post comments after midnight. Blah! lol.

[antishay]

[WWBraveNewGirl]

[antishay]

[WWBraveNewGirl]

[Slim4Iife]

Shantiiii, great video. I think rollerblading is the coolest thing, but I'm not bold enough to do it yet. WOW, you did great! i hope to skate someday. Push ups are hard!!! Sean show off!!!LOL weight lifting is cool, I'm starting the upper body this week.

Wow 10 miles in 50min it's awesome. I did 6 miles in 60min. LOL.

Have fun rollerblading!!! Go girl!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Mari

[antishay]

Thank you thank you thank you!!

It was so fun :P

[perse877]

LOL! this is fantastic :DD i've been waiting for new video and this is great YAY!! :]

[antishay]

Thank you! :D:D Yay :P

[TheStarvingTenor]

Judged.

(+1 intimidation)

[antishay]

Yay! :P I'm NOT INTIMIDATED! *stomps*

[morgan0661]

So happy for your loss. I was worried you wouldnt get your video in on time...lol. I know you use muscle milk but I would also recommend a glutamine supplement and you can find that at your local vitamin store. WORKS WONDERS!

[antishay]

Thank you! Never worry about me :P I always do what I need to do ;)

I will look into it. Thanks!

:D

[burndafat]

I'm getting rollerblades! fabulous, you looked like you were motoring along and check out the distance!!! sore muscles are the pits, just think of the good you're doing! way to go! awesome, awesome job!!! congrats on increasing your cycling time!! great job team mate! :)

[antishay]

Yay! I got mine for $5 :D They're a men's pair, but who cares? The size is right :P

I've used them before to blade along when Sean was walking around the lake, but never for "exercise" :D

Thank you! I had so much fun and burnt SO MANY calories!! <333

[YvesXMetamorphosis]

Congrats on your loss Shanti!

You have done an amazing job!

All of your hard work is definitely paying off.

What is muscle milk?

[antishay]

Thank you!

Go to the website... MM is a protein powder that you mix with milk to make a shake. I usually make it with some frozen mixed berries or frozen peaches or frozen bananas. It repairs your muscles like 3x as fast so that you're hardly sore the next day and your muscles grow faster.

I LOVE it because I can work out every day and not feel very sore. Like, I'm sore but not so bad that I can't work out again. :)

[DynaChik]

I didn't know weight lifting burned that many calories! What flavor of Muscle Milk do you recommend? Good job on the biking and weight loss!

[antishay]

I know! Neither did I... ;)

I like one scoop vanilla with a cup of milk and 4 frozen strawberries... or for more of a smoothie I use a cup of frozen berries with a cup of milk and one scoop vanilla. Or just vanilla in milk..

I also have the chocolate and use that when I don't want to mix in berries :D Milk chocolate.

Try it! :D

Thank you! <3

[CurvyElegance]

Wow that sounds like a ton of fun! That's great that you're not on the plateau anymore and just getting toned. Have a great weekend =)

[antishay]

Yay! Thank you - I am so excited. Thanks!

[ceramicheart150]

Great job Shanti! Isn't weight lifting empowering? I've been kinda tired after my first jaunt at cardio but sure enough when I start the weights I feel jazzed up again, rawrrr!! 2.8 WOW!!! :D You are great!!

[antishay]

I love it! I also get more ambitious about everything... like I open jars I don't normally think I can open... I walk with a different kind of gait ;P

YAYAY I am so happy! That puts me at 41.9 Lbs lost!!! I can't believe it :D <3
