Me An Artist?

There is one thing that I will always own up to: I am not an artist. I'm terrible at drawing and don't even think about asking me to paint. I never put much time into drawing as a kid because sports dominated most of my free time. I didn't mind drawing as a kid but it didn't come as naturally to me as sports did. My latest project for Digital Media had me trying to fight through this and make two pictures that at least somewhat resembled something. My first picture was "traced" of a cow using ScribblerToo.  I don't think it looks terrible, you can at least tell it's a cow! The second picture we were supposed to get a bit more creative and draw something without a picture in the background. I gave my best shot at a penguin but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

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 ...

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!

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.
