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.

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!

What are full body workouts?

A workout is a workout, right? That's the general assumption that tends to come to the forefront for most people who just want to stay in shape or lose some weight. The reality is that depending on the results an individual wants determines the type of workout they should be using. We tend to see bodybuilders, pro athletes, and the tough guys in the gym working out individual muscle groups like crazy. They're always talking about how it's leg day or it's arm day. We've all heard that repeated a million times, right? Most girls tend to stay away from the weights and stick to cardio, ab workouts, and yoga. Lifting weights has this terrible stereotype that you will only grow huge muscles doing this causing most girls to shy away from them. They don't want to look all muscly. This is where full body workouts come into play. They're a wonderful mix of everything without building huge amounts of muscle or feeling extremely sore the next day. A full body work...

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 ...
