Yes, two time you get us recorder.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay, so you're in twice. Tell everyone the first one
is in the second one.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
First one I did it was for this distance travel
by lunch in one hour. I was the first person
who ever beat that. The minimuments to beat was one
point nine to nine miles and I did two point
one four miles.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So we're saying if you didn't catch that he was.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Doing lunges lunging yeah not yeah, yeah, lunges and he's
had to hit the ground. I had to wear knee pads.
Yeah yeah. So it was like full on standing up,
lunging to the ground. And then ten days later I
beat most lunges in one hour, which did twenty eight
hundred and twenty five lunches in one hour. I beat
the record by like five hundred lunches.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So in order to.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Do said twenty five hundred basically.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, twenty eight twenty five. I'm gonna be specific on that. Yeah,
we had twenty eight twenty five lunges in one hour.
Is it lunch lungs lungs lunch or is it lunch
lungs lungs lungs? And then like there's I didn't take
So I did four lunch or three lunges every four seconds.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Crazy the next day, but it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
So I've ran marathons before, I've done other crazy fitness things,
and I was extremely sore after a marathon, but it
wasn't that I wasn't like with a marathon, you don't
really go up to twenty six point two miles for
the training. You go around twenty twenty two maybe with lunching.
I was doing this sometimes three times a week, so
I was very prepared for it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But it was a huge event.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I'm like, my was the stakes were high that the
Guinness World Record team all came out there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was a full lifetime event. So like we I
was like, I need to be prepared for this. What
do you get if you so? A couple of books
and a certificate?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
But no, it's not even but it's I get to
do this, like this is I get to be on
the Elvis Durant Show, the Elvis Durant after party show,
all it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So like I feel like this is this is what's
so great?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
And last time I was here, I just had my
two certificates and a lot of the world record holders
don't get in the book, very few. I think I'm
making this up, but I think like five percent. But
I'm officially in the Guinness Rail Record.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Seventy edition.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What page are you on?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
AFT? This is what's crazy? So they gave it to me.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
They didn't tell me what page I was on, So
I'm like, I'm flipped through and I'm like and me
and my husband Alex, we were going through just I
taught a class and I came home and I'm like,
let's look what look what this is?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And I'm looking at I'm like, oh my god, I
can't find it.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm like, well, but if and honestly, this would be
cool the way my name was just in it, just
my name, no picture or anything. But I kept on
flipping through and I'm like, I never thought to look
at the first page right below Dolly pardon, that's awesome?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Is that is that?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It's not I mean your accomplishment in both accomplishments and
just a Guinness World a book of world records. Nothing
to be sneeze. It's major, big things. A lot of
people look at that and go, my god, there is
absolutely low Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What was her record?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
She was? She's won so many and she's I know
this year so Guinness, this is the seventieth year of
Guinness World Record. Their next book's coming out and I
think next month, I believe. And she's an icon. They
just posted this. She's gonna be like the icon of
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
For the book. But yeah, but so I've forgot what
she will look.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
At what was her record? Just above yours?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It says World Records holder, I think it's Oh, I'm sorry.
This was not Dolly's record. This was Michael Impric. He's
the judge. He judged mine as well, and he is
his picture with Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But still it's close to you.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
The GADS Book of World Records has I mean hundreds
thousands of entries in each book, even print. Yeah, I
need to get to you or if you have to,
like go buy the world's largest pickle. Yeah, here's the
lady who fell, you know, from the Moon to the
Earth and live.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Oh my gosh, there's so many, there's so many records.
And this year their theme is be a part of it.
So they're saying, not just people that want to be
crazy and go for three thousand lunes in a row,
but everybody can be a world record holder. So I'm
trying to think of what what would y'all? What would
be y'all's world record? I do I know I'm putting
you on the spot right here, but you know, Scotty,
(04:54):
what would.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You actually tried? We submitted the amount of cereals that
we ate to them and they said, well that's not
really a category.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
That was that?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What do you mean? To be honest?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
None of them are ever categories until in the category.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yes, there could be a category. They're saying to do.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It, they said, we had to do something crazy with
the cereal, not just eating. So we have we've eaten.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Over twelve Also, you don't want to get in eating competitions.
Oh my god, that would be well, that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's just a it's it's we just wanted to be
most cereals eaten. We we've eaten over twelve hundred cereals.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That's boring.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
No, that's not boring. That's really cool. But my thing
is you're gonna have to track it too though. Well
we have they're all recorded, oh, twelve hundred episodes.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, well with three hundred change. It's a podcast that
we do. Maybe if you take all those twelve hundred
cereal boxes knock them all over at once, maybe that's
a record.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
No, let's let's see, let's let's let's let's do what
I bel it'ld be awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would like to my people will talk to your people.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, what about you, Gandhi, what would your record be?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe, like most times, scaring the same coworker.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yes, I think it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Could happen when.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, but it's gonna be a heart attack before you know.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What about your dan you don't know? Loudest laugh, I
don't think, most screeching, loud irritation, most pairs of shoes,

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh my god? Tortillas, most meals eating in a day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Okay, I mean I'm not able. I know that you're
gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
What would might be, but god, I gotta have something
I'm passionate about.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
This show has to have achieved something longest running show
in New York, something that looking.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna get Let's actually
let's make this happen to be awesome though.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
All right, let me dig into my whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
We'll figure. We have an hour on the podcast, right,
so we can have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So what got you to that point where you're like,
you know what, but I am doing these things so much.
I gotta enter the World Records Book for this.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It really wasn't.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
That was more of like I turned thirty, I was
just like, I want to do something really big, for
my thirtieth year. And then someone that takes my classes
works for Ginness World Record and she's like, you need
to go for a world record, and I'm like, there's.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You hear when the world records it's like most pull
ups in twenty four hours or most burpies, and I'm like,
I can't put myself to that. And then I do
so may I teach up to thirty classes in a week,
so some of the most in my company. So I was,
I do so many lunging. Lunging is Lunging is awesome.
It's really good for your body's stability, strength, work, everything.
(07:38):
So I'm like, let me go for it. You do crazy.
I did crazy things in the pandemic to stay in shape.
I used to love the StairMaster, and then in the
pandemic there was no statement we couldn't go to the gym.
So I do like walking lunges, and I'm like, no one,
I've ever't heard of anyone just walking doing walking lunches
like forty five minutes to an hour. And then I said,
you know what, let's see if there's a world record
for it. And then we found it and made it.
(07:58):
I made a plan and went for it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wow, I know what he just said, something that could
enter another category of records. The only person on earth
who's ever said I love the Staremaster.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Yeah, I feel like I can zone out and just
like I program my classes like that. I everything, Like
if I if I'm doing something, I could healthy program
and then Staremaster. I feel like I could be on
my phone in program.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
If you ever want time to go slower, get on
the stair No, I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Okay, So okay, you get on a Staremaster or whatever
you're on and you say you zone out, You're not
zoning out, You're actually focusing on something, Yeah, focusing on
can you even remember?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's it's interesting I would go through this. This is
so funny.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Wrought this up because I I went for lunching this
morning because I'm like, I'm gonna be on the podcast.
I need to do this, and it's like I get
in this meditative state. It's like a gratitude almost like
I'm really thankful that I go through Like like I've
listened to sometimes of meditation where you focus on breath work,
getting present, then focus on gratitude.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I know it's so woo woo.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
And then and then I visualize what I want like
I would when I was going for this world record.
What helped me not to stop was that I had
a really strong why. Like I I visualized myself holding
the plaque. I visualized me like beating the world record,
feeling the love of everyone coming to the event.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And that is really what pushed me forward.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
And I did was again went for lunging this morning
and I felt that same feeling. So that's really what
helps me like zone out and meditati.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's actually very simple. It's a very simple, easy way
to get through something.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And we never do it. We overthink things.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I just think about the time taking down, time shaking.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So it's it's that's so important. It's what you focus on.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So and I tell my people in my classes all
the time, if you're tired and you come to class,
and a lot of the times when you start you're like,
oh my gosh, like I'm so tired, I don't want
to do this hour.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I'm exhausted.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
It's gonna be a long freaking hour and it's not
gonna be You're not gonna enjoy it. You're not you're
gonna walk away, probably feeling worse, but you focus on
I'm like, man, I feel so grateful, I feel so
much love. I'm so I have so much gratitude. Then
my gosh, it's gonna it will fly by a lot quicker.
You have to get over the woo woo part of it, like,
oh my god, what this crazy guy loves lunging and yeah,
(10:07):
very important.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yes, very important important. I mean I'll be I have
to work out later today and I'm already regretting the thought. No,
I know that's my problem. We all we may do it,
we all have. We all have to get out of that. Yeah,
oh god, scary, scary and I have sometimes we're in
the same gym, right, yes, And I mean he's a beast.
(10:30):
But by the end of the work you look like
you're we should call the paramedics pretty much.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, I'm out of breath. Oh you could be.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I think you said he's a beast.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I can't even do more than fifteen lunges without like sting, can't.
And yeah, lunches, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Not my thing, but things when I go to do
a lunch, I'm like, god, a lunge. I hate these
that's not helping.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, it's not. So you need to think of all
the good.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Of course, doing the exercise it's difficult, like you know,
you're gonna be fatigue, you gonna be tired. But it's
think about how how much stronger you're getting, how much
betterer getting, and how thankful you are that you're able
to do a lunge, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, you know. I haven't done legworking a long time
because that injury on fifty second Street.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Wait, what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We had a long We had like thirty minutes in
the show is all pre recorders stuff. We're playing back.
I said, let's go to the park. So we ran
to Central Park and we were just having some fun.
We stopped and got a croissant on the way who knows, yeah,
and on the way back and went, holy crap, we
got to get back. So I didn't have a walk
sign and cars were coming. I said, we got to go.
So halfway across fifty eighth Street from Central Park, something
(11:33):
snapped in my ankle. I don't know, it landed wrong,
not good. I did drag my foot all the way back. Yeah,
still have a bit of a limp. I have a
little bit of a limp do I know work? So
we're starting to get back into it now.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Well, my dream is to go like one day, do
a podcast or whatever on the show and then just
go out and hang out with you for have some
cocktails something like that. That would be that is my dream,
dream dream.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Don't you have classes today?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I do? Maybe not today, but another time it would
be awesome. Got us some cocktail bars. I just feel like, hey,
will you It would be the most fun thing it
is ever?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well it is we we will do that one day.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I train downstairs.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I'm not at Midtown. Last time mittown, but I'm all
over Okay, yeah, one time, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Plans line up. We're taking Austin out.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
We're getting a.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Listen. We need to have a trade.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
He's got to put us through a class and then
maybe we can go.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
No, no, that is my dream. I love that. Yeah,
you don't want to put this group through? Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Okay, So back to this lunging thing. You're talking about
twenty eight an hour an hour, a lot of lunges.
So you're so focused on getting all the way through this, Yeah,
loving life gratitude. Is there any way you could take
your mind off of what you're doing on a machine
or lunging to the point where you forget you're doing
(12:57):
it and you hurt yourself. Is there an injury wait
to happen if you're not focusing on your body, you're
just focusing on you know, flying across the finish.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Line, I guess.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But like just lunging, like the stairmash or anything like that,
it's kind of like it's just repetitive motion. So it's
just I kind of get in that zone where it's
it's not like I'm gonna forget, dude, They're just like
you don't forget to walk.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's like you just keep Oh, I do.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Going, Well, I guess you did that one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I guess that one time you did.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I was walking down the staircase. I missed a step.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, I guess you could, you could, you could.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There was There has been times where actually when I
beat my first world record, it wasn't that it wasn't focused,
but I was so in the zone. I was going
so fast and I slipped and they did. So if
you follow anything, it doesn't count. So I did not
hit every lunch that I did. There was some time
there was one moment where I was going for the
for the second world record and I stopped and I
looked behind and I kind of almost fell, So they
(13:51):
didn't count that one. But everyone was behind me, and
I felt so much love, and I'm like, I want
to turn around and like look at all these people
that came. It was like sixty eighty people that was there,
so I turn around just to like see and then
I went back and almost fell and they didn't count
that lunch. So they didn't tell me the moment, but
they was like, you didn't get all the all the lunges,
so so scary.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
How to do a proper lunch?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Alright, oh boy, actually scary. You show me what you
think of lunges.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And then he just did.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It backflip scary.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, Okay, I put my two hands like a fright.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Okay, yes, you down. That's amazing, so much better than
I thought.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yes, you actually touched the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You have touchcoun Yeah, yeah, yes, And I think you're
not supposed to it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You're supposed to get right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The well, well, well I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
If you're working out and it's it's as much as
your range of motion for the world record, you have
to touch the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I would, I would, I would not banger knees.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I don't think it's it's not safe to hit your
kne of the ground every single time, especially if you
have dumbells. I'm like that, but for the world record,
you need to. And I did not know that in
the beginning. So I was training and I'm like, I mean,
not that it's easy, but like I have this, I've
been training for like a trained for like a full year.
But before I was like, I was like, this isn't
as crazy as I thought I was going to be.
(15:09):
And then they're like, oh no, no, you need pads,
like you need to hit the ground. I'm like, I
need to touch the ground every time. So that and
that set me back.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I don't think I after yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
But from a training point of view, hitting touching the
ground is not the way to do it.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's you want to go for the yes, like you
want to go for a full range of motion, but
like hitting your knee, like it's not my knees. My
my knees are awesome, all my joints are great. But
I take recovery really seriously, like I was getting weekly IVS.
I take college in every single day getting weekly massages.
Not anymore, but at the time of the training, because
(15:42):
I was doing that and I was teaching thirty classes
in a week, so I was trying to that's my job,
so I was trying to still make money and do
this as well.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So yeah, two quick questions, Well, take your time.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, we have an hour, so I listed every day,
it's usually fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I sometimes it may seem like I know no, no, Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
First of all, you said one of the people that
works out in your classes works for a Guinness Book
of World Records. You could find out from that person.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
If there's something we would be eligible for.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yes, shout out Amanda. Yeah, absolutely, Amanda something No, I
really I really wanted to happen. That'd be so cool.
And if it happens, I just need to come back
on the show and be here.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
A lot of Plus, whatever we do do, if we
do do something, it will not include lunches.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
No, maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Lunch lunches. That's a dreamy.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
How many lunches can we do?

it's not just fitness. I know fitness gets a lot
of PR, but it's it's literally everything. And there's a

Like, do they have like a party to celebrate all
the winners and you get to meet like the world's
biggest lady.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
They should absolutely, especially the seventeenth year, because this is
the this year is the seventeenth year for us. They
absolutely should up athlete somebody with incredibly long tone. That
would be a freaking crazy party.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't think the most boring at that party.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That would be Yeah, I know that Againnis, I guess
in publicizing the Book of World Records one time they
did a photo of the world's tallest man is the
world's shortest woman together. Yeah, these tandem photos are great.
We could have Austin had the guy who can do
the most lunches standing next to scary who can do
the world's least lunch. They should they should, Yes, should
(20:33):
the record holders Amanda.
Speaker 1 (20:35):

we have to tell you if we have to admit

Yes, two time you get us recorder.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay, so you're in twice. Tell everyone the first one
is in the second one.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
First one I did it was for this distance travel
by lunch in one hour. I was the first person
who ever beat that. The minimuments to beat was one
point nine to nine miles and I did two point
one four miles.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So we're saying if you didn't catch that he was.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Doing lunges lunging yeah not yeah, yeah, lunges and he's
had to hit the ground. I had to wear knee pads.
Yeah yeah. So it was like full on standing up,
lunging to the ground. And then ten days later I
beat most lunges in one hour, which did twenty eight
hundred and twenty five lunches in one hour. I beat
the record by like five hundred lunches.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So in order to.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Do said twenty five hundred basically.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, twenty eight twenty five. I'm gonna be specific on that. Yeah,
we had twenty eight twenty five lunges in one hour.
Is it lunch lungs lungs lunch or is it lunch
lungs lungs lungs? And then like there's I didn't take
So I did four lunch or three lunges every four seconds.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Crazy the next day, but it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
So I've ran marathons before, I've done other crazy fitness things,
and I was extremely sore after a marathon, but it
wasn't that I wasn't like with a marathon, you don't
really go up to twenty six point two miles for
the training. You go around twenty twenty two maybe with lunching.
I was doing this sometimes three times a week, so
I was very prepared for it.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But it was a huge event.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I'm like, my was the stakes were high that the
Guinness World Record team all came out there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was a full lifetime event. So like we I
was like, I need to be prepared for this. What
do you get if you so? A couple of books
and a certificate?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
But no, it's not even but it's I get to
do this, like this is I get to be on
the Elvis Durant Show, the Elvis Durant after party show,
all it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So like I feel like this is this is what's
so great?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
And last time I was here, I just had my
two certificates and a lot of the world record holders
don't get in the book, very few. I think I'm
making this up, but I think like five percent. But
I'm officially in the Guinness Rail Record.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Seventy edition.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What page are you on?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
AFT? This is what's crazy? So they gave it to me.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
They didn't tell me what page I was on, So
I'm like, I'm flipped through and I'm like and me
and my husband Alex, we were going through just I
taught a class and I came home and I'm like,
let's look what look what this is?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And I'm looking at I'm like, oh my god, I
can't find it.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm like, well, but if and honestly, this would be
cool the way my name was just in it, just
my name, no picture or anything. But I kept on
flipping through and I'm like, I never thought to look
at the first page right below Dolly pardon, that's awesome?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Is that is that?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It's not I mean your accomplishment in both accomplishments and
just a Guinness World a book of world records. Nothing
to be sneeze. It's major, big things. A lot of
people look at that and go, my god, there is
absolutely low Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What was her record?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
She was? She's won so many and she's I know
this year so Guinness, this is the seventieth year of
Guinness World Record. Their next book's coming out and I
think next month, I believe. And she's an icon. They
just posted this. She's gonna be like the icon of
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
For the book. But yeah, but so I've forgot what
she will look.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
At what was her record? Just above yours?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It says World Records holder, I think it's Oh, I'm sorry.
This was not Dolly's record. This was Michael Impric. He's
the judge. He judged mine as well, and he is
his picture with Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But still it's close to you.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
The GADS Book of World Records has I mean hundreds
thousands of entries in each book, even print. Yeah, I
need to get to you or if you have to,
like go buy the world's largest pickle. Yeah, here's the
lady who fell, you know, from the Moon to the
Earth and live.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Oh my gosh, there's so many, there's so many records.
And this year their theme is be a part of it.
So they're saying, not just people that want to be
crazy and go for three thousand lunes in a row,
but everybody can be a world record holder. So I'm
trying to think of what what would y'all? What would
be y'all's world record? I do I know I'm putting
you on the spot right here, but you know, Scotty,
(04:54):
what would.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You actually tried? We submitted the amount of cereals that
we ate to them and they said, well that's not
really a category.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
That was that?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What do you mean? To be honest?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
None of them are ever categories until in the category.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yes, there could be a category. They're saying to do.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
It, they said, we had to do something crazy with
the cereal, not just eating. So we have we've eaten.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Over twelve Also, you don't want to get in eating competitions.
Oh my god, that would be well, that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's just a it's it's we just wanted to be
most cereals eaten. We we've eaten over twelve hundred cereals.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That's boring.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
No, that's not boring. That's really cool. But my thing
is you're gonna have to track it too though. Well
we have they're all recorded, oh, twelve hundred episodes.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, well with three hundred change. It's a podcast that
we do. Maybe if you take all those twelve hundred
cereal boxes knock them all over at once, maybe that's
a record.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
No, let's let's see, let's let's let's let's do what
I bel it'ld be awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would like to my people will talk to your people.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Okay, what about you, Gandhi, what would your record be?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe, like most times, scaring the same coworker.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yes, I think it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Could happen when.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, but it's gonna be a heart attack before you know.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What about your dan you don't know? Loudest laugh, I
don't think, most screeching, loud irritation, most pairs of shoes,
what about you? What's your name?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Nate?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Most forgotten person on the show?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Ye, what about you? Scary?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh my god? Tortillas, most meals eating in a day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Okay, I mean I'm not able. I know that you're
gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
What would might be, but god, I gotta have something
I'm passionate about.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
This show has to have achieved something longest running show
in New York, something that looking.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna get Let's actually
let's make this happen to be awesome though.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
All right, let me dig into my whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
We'll figure. We have an hour on the podcast, right,
so we can have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So what got you to that point where you're like,
you know what, but I am doing these things so much.
I gotta enter the World Records Book for this.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It really wasn't.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
That was more of like I turned thirty, I was
just like, I want to do something really big, for
my thirtieth year. And then someone that takes my classes
works for Ginness World Record and she's like, you need
to go for a world record, and I'm like, there's.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You hear when the world records it's like most pull
ups in twenty four hours or most burpies, and I'm like,
I can't put myself to that. And then I do
so may I teach up to thirty classes in a week,
so some of the most in my company. So I was,
I do so many lunging. Lunging is Lunging is awesome.
It's really good for your body's stability, strength, work, everything.
(07:38):
So I'm like, let me go for it. You do crazy.
I did crazy things in the pandemic to stay in shape.
I used to love the StairMaster, and then in the
pandemic there was no statement we couldn't go to the gym.
So I do like walking lunges, and I'm like, no one,
I've ever't heard of anyone just walking doing walking lunches
like forty five minutes to an hour. And then I said,
you know what, let's see if there's a world record
for it. And then we found it and made it.
(07:58):
I made a plan and went for it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wow, I know what he just said, something that could
enter another category of records. The only person on earth
who's ever said I love the Staremaster.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Yeah, I feel like I can zone out and just
like I program my classes like that. I everything, Like
if I if I'm doing something, I could healthy program
and then Staremaster. I feel like I could be on
my phone in program.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
If you ever want time to go slower, get on
the stair No, I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Okay, So okay, you get on a Staremaster or whatever
you're on and you say you zone out, You're not
zoning out, You're actually focusing on something, Yeah, focusing on
can you even remember?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's it's interesting I would go through this. This is
so funny.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Wrought this up because I I went for lunching this
morning because I'm like, I'm gonna be on the podcast.
I need to do this, and it's like I get
in this meditative state. It's like a gratitude almost like
I'm really thankful that I go through Like like I've
listened to sometimes of meditation where you focus on breath work,
getting present, then focus on gratitude.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I know it's so woo woo.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
And then and then I visualize what I want like
I would when I was going for this world record.
What helped me not to stop was that I had
a really strong why. Like I I visualized myself holding
the plaque. I visualized me like beating the world record,
feeling the love of everyone coming to the event.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And that is really what pushed me forward.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
And I did was again went for lunging this morning
and I felt that same feeling. So that's really what
helps me like zone out and meditati.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's actually very simple. It's a very simple, easy way
to get through something.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And we never do it. We overthink things.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I just think about the time taking down, time shaking.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So it's it's that's so important. It's what you focus on.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So and I tell my people in my classes all
the time, if you're tired and you come to class,
and a lot of the times when you start you're like,
oh my gosh, like I'm so tired, I don't want
to do this hour.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I'm exhausted.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
It's gonna be a long freaking hour and it's not
gonna be You're not gonna enjoy it. You're not you're
gonna walk away, probably feeling worse, but you focus on
I'm like, man, I feel so grateful, I feel so
much love. I'm so I have so much gratitude. Then
my gosh, it's gonna it will fly by a lot quicker.
You have to get over the woo woo part of it, like,
oh my god, what this crazy guy loves lunging and yeah,
(10:07):
very important.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yes, very important important. I mean I'll be I have
to work out later today and I'm already regretting the thought. No,
I know that's my problem. We all we may do it,
we all have. We all have to get out of that. Yeah,
oh god, scary, scary and I have sometimes we're in
the same gym, right, yes, And I mean he's a beast.
(10:30):
But by the end of the work you look like
you're we should call the paramedics pretty much.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, I'm out of breath. Oh you could be.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I think you said he's a beast.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I can't even do more than fifteen lunges without like sting, can't.
And yeah, lunches, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Not my thing, but things when I go to do
a lunch, I'm like, god, a lunge. I hate these
that's not helping.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, it's not. So you need to think of all
the good.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Of course, doing the exercise it's difficult, like you know,
you're gonna be fatigue, you gonna be tired. But it's
think about how how much stronger you're getting, how much
betterer getting, and how thankful you are that you're able
to do a lunge, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, you know. I haven't done legworking a long time
because that injury on fifty second Street.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Wait, what happened?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We had a long We had like thirty minutes in
the show is all pre recorders stuff. We're playing back.
I said, let's go to the park. So we ran
to Central Park and we were just having some fun.
We stopped and got a croissant on the way who knows, yeah,
and on the way back and went, holy crap, we
got to get back. So I didn't have a walk
sign and cars were coming. I said, we got to go.
So halfway across fifty eighth Street from Central Park, something
(11:33):
snapped in my ankle. I don't know, it landed wrong,
not good. I did drag my foot all the way back. Yeah,
still have a bit of a limp. I have a
little bit of a limp do I know work? So
we're starting to get back into it now.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Well, my dream is to go like one day, do
a podcast or whatever on the show and then just
go out and hang out with you for have some
cocktails something like that. That would be that is my dream,
dream dream.

I'm not at Midtown. Last time mittown, but I'm all
over Okay, yeah, one time, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Plans line up. We're taking Austin out.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
We're getting a.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Listen. We need to have a trade.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
He's got to put us through a class and then
maybe we can go.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
No, no, that is my dream. I love that. Yeah,
you don't want to put this group through? Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Okay, So back to this lunging thing. You're talking about
twenty eight an hour an hour, a lot of lunges.
So you're so focused on getting all the way through this, Yeah,
loving life gratitude. Is there any way you could take
your mind off of what you're doing on a machine
or lunging to the point where you forget you're doing
(12:57):
it and you hurt yourself. Is there an injury wait
to happen if you're not focusing on your body, you're
just focusing on you know, flying across the finish.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Line, I guess.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But like just lunging, like the stairmash or anything like that,
it's kind of like it's just repetitive motion. So it's
just I kind of get in that zone where it's
it's not like I'm gonna forget, dude, They're just like
you don't forget to walk.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's like you just keep Oh, I do.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Going, Well, I guess you did that one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I guess that one time you did.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I was walking down the staircase. I missed a step.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, I guess you could, you could, you could.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There was There has been times where actually when I
beat my first world record, it wasn't that it wasn't focused,
but I was so in the zone. I was going
so fast and I slipped and they did. So if
you follow anything, it doesn't count. So I did not
hit every lunch that I did. There was some time
there was one moment where I was going for the
for the second world record and I stopped and I
looked behind and I kind of almost fell, So they
(13:51):
didn't count that one. But everyone was behind me, and
I felt so much love, and I'm like, I want
to turn around and like look at all these people
that came. It was like sixty eighty people that was there,
so I turn around just to like see and then
I went back and almost fell and they didn't count
that lunch. So they didn't tell me the moment, but
they was like, you didn't get all the all the lunges,
so so scary.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
How to do a proper lunch?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Alright, oh boy, actually scary. You show me what you
think of lunges.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And then he just did.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It backflip scary.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, Okay, I put my two hands like a fright.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Okay, yes, you down. That's amazing, so much better than
I thought.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yes, you actually touched the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You have touchcoun Yeah, yeah, yes, And I think you're
not supposed to it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You're supposed to get right.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The well, well, well I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
If you're working out and it's it's as much as
your range of motion for the world record, you have
to touch the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I would, I would, I would not banger knees.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I don't think it's it's not safe to hit your
kne of the ground every single time, especially if you
have dumbells. I'm like that, but for the world record,
you need to. And I did not know that in
the beginning. So I was training and I'm like, I mean,
not that it's easy, but like I have this, I've
been training for like a trained for like a full year.
But before I was like, I was like, this isn't
as crazy as I thought I was going to be.
(15:09):
And then they're like, oh no, no, you need pads,
like you need to hit the ground. I'm like, I
need to touch the ground every time. So that and
that set me back.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I don't think I after yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
But from a training point of view, hitting touching the
ground is not the way to do it.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's you want to go for the yes, like you
want to go for a full range of motion, but
like hitting your knee, like it's not my knees. My
my knees are awesome, all my joints are great. But
I take recovery really seriously, like I was getting weekly IVS.
I take college in every single day getting weekly massages.
Not anymore, but at the time of the training, because
(15:42):
I was doing that and I was teaching thirty classes
in a week, so I was trying to that's my job,
so I was trying to still make money and do
this as well.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
So yeah, two quick questions, Well, take your time.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, we have an hour, so I listed every day,
it's usually fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I sometimes it may seem like I know no, no, Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
First of all, you said one of the people that
works out in your classes works for a Guinness Book
of World Records. You could find out from that person.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
If there's something we would be eligible for.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yes, shout out Amanda. Yeah, absolutely, Amanda something No, I
really I really wanted to happen. That'd be so cool.
And if it happens, I just need to come back
on the show and be here.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
A lot of Plus, whatever we do do, if we
do do something, it will not include lunches.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
No, maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Lunch lunches. That's a dreamy.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
How many lunches can we do?
Speaker 1 (16:39):

it's not just fitness. I know fitness gets a lot
of PR, but it's it's literally everything. And there's a

absolutely should up athlete somebody with incredibly long tone. That
would be a freaking crazy party.

That would be Yeah, I know that Againnis, I guess
in publicizing the Book of World Records one time they
did a photo of the world's tallest man is the
world's shortest woman together. Yeah, these tandem photos are great.
We could have Austin had the guy who can do
the most lunches standing next to scary who can do
