About Me

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm a senior at the University of Toledo, and as you might be able to figure out from the name of this blog, I'm a workout enthusiast. I've been an athlete my whole life. I played softball and basketball year-round on travel teams since the age of 8. Some kids loved playing video games and I loved playing sports. It's pretty much always been the main focus of my life, whether I was playing sports or talking about them. Since my competing days are over, I've been forced to find out what to do with my free time and how to satisfy my need to feel like a part of a team and get exercise. That led me to find my two new favorite hobbies: full body workouts and hockey. Hockey has become my getaway and escape for 4 years now. The cardio involved is unlike anything I've ever done and I've made so many great friends from playing. My team (pictured above, I'm in the dead center) is like a family and we've won back to back championships in the league we play in. Once I earn my degree I plan on joining the Air Force as an officer, so working out has since become more than just a hobby. If I want to excel in the Air Force I will need to be in the best shape that I can be. Since I've started my workout plans about a year ago I've managed to put on 15 pounds of muscle. Hopefully posting to a blog can keep me pushing through my workouts despite a busy schedule, and I'm hoping that it'll maybe help someone else along the way.

Cardio is Great *Sike*

Cardio is necessary to actually have a good workout. That is a downright lie. Cardio is wonderful to help you lose weight but it is not perfect for every workout. If you are trying to gain muscle then it is not really necessary to do cardio. Cardio itself is not going to help you build muscle. Implementing it into your workout can help with overall health but it will not necessarily help you reach the results you want. Cardio will help you drop body fat percentage when it is combined with a healthy diet though. This can then transfer to leaner, more toned muscle results. HIIT cardio is a completely different ball game. The use of fast twitch muscle fibers and the workouts necessary for them can actually lead to small muscle growth. The workouts necessary for HIIT cardio like ladders, burpees, and lunges all promote muscle growth while just running a mile will add more to lung capacity.

Daily workout vlog

I thought it might be kind of cool to switch it up a bit and do a vlog showing one of my workouts. I kind of explain why I do what I do in the video along with a little bit of information about full body workouts. Enjoy!
