'I lived in the gym and out of Tupperware containers.'
For the first eight weeks of competition prep, she does 45-minute cardio sessions five times a week. For the last month, she steps it up to 60-minute cardio sessions, seven days a week. She said,"I got so tired of cardio that I had to mix up the exercise I did every 20 minutes." Example: 20 minutes stair stepper, 20 minutes arch trainer, 20 minutes treadmill. Actually, for best results, Taylor recommended interval training to keep your muscles guessing and to avoid overuse injury.
Some competitors split workouts up, doing twice in one day, but Taylor preferred getting it all done at once. She admitted that in the last month, having no rest days was tough, so she'd do double cardio on Saturdays just so she could rest on Sunday. Training for a bikini competition is no joke. The before-and-after pics are so impressive, to see what's possible with hard work and perseverance. But it becomes your only focus."I hated that I basically had no life for three months. I lived in the gym and out of Tupperware containers," Taylor said."You miss out on a lot of outings and events while competing because it can be very tempting to go out with your friends and not partake in eating or drinking.
Another tidbit you'll appreciate hearing is that this perfect body she achieved, with only 12-percent body fat, could only be maintained for that one day of competition. You can't possibly eat so strictly and work out that much all the time.
