My Diet and Fitness Routine

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is "What do you do to stay in such good shape".  Well, first of all, I am very lucky to be blessed with good genetics and a high metabolic rate which keeps me slim naturally. I am a true ectomorph.

However, being slim certainly has its disadvantages.  When I was younger, I hated being skinny and I tried every conceivable way to put on weight.  I drank weight gain shakes, had a high calorie diet (and not necesarity a healthy one!) but never seemed to gain any weight. I sat still and it seemed I burned calories.

Then in my late teens I discovered weight training.  I saw before and after photos of really skinny women who had transformed themselves into shapely looking fit physiques.  This had to be the only thing left for me to try.  I remember seeing Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 and thinking wow, she looks so fit and strong.

At age 18, I remember buying myself a set of dumbell weights and going through my routines after collage.  I had a wall chart with various excersises and stuck to them religously.  I got such a buzz out of that aching muscle feeling the day after.. telling me I really did work myself well.

After a few months of weight training, I tested my new passtime by weighing myself. Wow, I had actually gained weight!  Its ironic isnt it... use energy lifting weights = eating more = looking fitter yet I was heavier.  Yes, I was building muscle.  By muscle, I mean looking more shapely on my legs, arms, butt and abs. 

For those of you reading this and thinking 'eww women don't look good with bulging muscles'.  Well let me tell you something.. it is physically impossible for women to look like Arnlod Scharzenegger.  Even if a woman takes chemical enhancement (which I am not an advocate of) then she would still have to work like hell to get big gains anything like Arnold!

What a lot of women do not realise is that if they train with weights, it will actually increase their metabolic rate and by doing so, will help burn fat more effectively.

My Workouts

I aim to do weight training 3 to 4 times per week, using split routines, so each alternate day I  do one of the following: 

Back and biceps

Chest and triceps

Legs (glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves)

Shoulders

I work abs around 2-3 times per week too.

For my cardio regime, I try to incorporate different methods such as my cross trainer at home, running machine and rowing machines at the gym. However, I do interval training, meaning short burst of intense effort, followed by a slower pace.  This cardio method preserves muscle, whilst burning fat.  Fat we don't want!

My Diet

I did a lot of studying about nutrition and educated myself about what our bodies really need.  Todays modern diet is so bad, when you consider the incidence of cancer, diabetes and obesity is on the increase.  We all really do need to learn more about what chemicals we put into our bodies.

10 years ago I decided to become a vegetarian.  At first I thought I would miss eating meat, but after a few weeks I never looked back!  Ever since I became a vegetarian, I have had more energy, been much more healthier and felt less sluggish.  I try to eat clean, by that I mean carbohydrate sources such as wholegrain pasta, rice, sweet potatos (yams), fruit, vegetables, wholegraing bread etc.  Protein sources I stick to eggs (mostly egg whites), tofu, pulses, soy, etc.  I also have healthy fats, such as Udo's oil blend as we need good fats too!

Anyway... thats my story about diet and fitness!

Marquis Style Feature

HW Design is one of my favourite latex designers and I was extremely flattered when they recommended my photography to represent them in the Marquis Magazine "Style" feature within the April 2012 edition of Marquis Magazine.

Thank you HW Design for choosing me to represent your beautiful latex fashion creations.

Here is a sneak peek of the feature I appeared in, representing HW Design in  'Marquis Style'.

My Trip to Mallorca 2011

During September 2011 I spent two fantasic weeks photoshooting in south east Mallorca. We chose Mallorca for its beautiful countryside and picturesque scenery.  I had such a wonderful time whilst I was there and we shot so much great content.  Our mission whilst out there was to shoot as many lupdates for my members site as possible, ranging from latex fetish, sexy glamour and swimwear photos and HD Videos.

Our location accommodation was a beautiful, very secluded luxury traditional stone villa, located in the heart of the Mallorcan countryside. This gave us plenty of opportunity to shoot in privacy, as it's not every day that women are walking around in tight sexy latex and revealing their big boobs, lol.  Although we stayed in a secluded villa, we often travelled out to other locations, which are always exciting to find.

As usual, packing for my trip is always a nightmare for me.  I have so much to take with me, its crazy!  At home my suitcase was flooded with an array of latex outfits.  I weighed my case before leaving and realised, whoops... my luggate is  over weight once again.  However, everything was important for this trip so I couldn't really afford to take anything out.  Latex, swimwear and fetish heels, everything will be photographed and captured forever in my site updates, so it was worth taking as much as I possibly could.

I always get nervous whilst going through customs, as I imagine what the faces of the customs officers would be like if they ever had to open my suitcase!  They would think I was on my way to major bondage fest! lol.  Anyway, this time all went well and we arrived safely with no hiccups.

The first thing I did was to hang up all my beautiful latex outfits which were custom made to fit me by some of my favourite latex fashion designers such as HW Design, Simon O, Skin Two from Honour UK.  I bet the maid was in for a shock when she called to do her cleaning.  Rubber and latex were hanging everywhere in my dressing room.  My fetish high heel shoes and boots were neatly lined up in a row.  I bet this was not the usual type of clothing she was used to seeing, when the accommodation we were staying in slept 12! Ideal for big groups and families.

After the first few days of photoshooting, when I eventually had some down time, I made sure to see lots of the southern part of Mallorca and visited places such as Cologne, Cala D’or and Felantix.

There were many local markets that had such a lovely Spanish atomosphere.  It is always so nice to see how the locals live.

One of my trips was to the harbour at Cala D'Or, what a beautiful place that was.  Docked there were some amazing private yachts.  A nice leasurely stroll around the harbour (in my sneakers (trainers)!) sure was a welcomed break from all those high heels, lol.

As the second week drew to a close, it was time to go through all our work over the last two weeks.  I was so pleased with the results, as each year we get better and better with our creativity and improved equipment.  Plus the glorious sunshine always beats the good old drab UK weather.

During this location shoot we shot some of the following updates Pewter Latex Princess, Smokey Black at Dusk, Pretty in Pink, Deviant Encounters Yellow Latex Lust, Leggy Latex Vamp, Busty Black Catsuit, Blue Latex Bikini, to name but a few! 

To see the rest, make sure to log-in to my members area or join now at www.saffrontaylor.com so you can see all the work that we produced over these two very productive weeks!  It was such a great latex fetish and glamour location shoot trip!

My Trip to Portugal 2010

I have just returned back to the UK from an amazing seven days of photoshooting in the beautiful Algarve coast of southern Portugal.  After many months of indoor studio shoots, we felt it was time for a change and planned this trip for quite some time.

Whilst I was there, I got to sample the Portugese cuisine and lifestyle.  Everything seems so much more laid back than my hectic UK homeland, so although I was on a working trip, it was nice for me to  have a total change in environment and do some unwinding too:)

We spent the first few days, scouting around for the perfect locations that would give us some amazing backdrops for our photography and videos. Sometimes during shoots, I got many strange looks from the locals as its not a common occurance to see models dressed in strange rubber outfits.

I always need extra luggage weight when travelling on location shoots, as latex can weigh quite a lot, especially when I have to plan for at least ten photo and video themes per week.  My biggest weakness is packing my huge fetish high heel shoes and boots, they always add a lot of weight.  When I arrived, my room was covered in latex.  It can get quite hectic and messy during photoshoot preparation, as I do all my own hair and makeup myself.

During down time, I made sure to explore the island visiting places such as Cavoerio and Albufuria.

During our stay, we shot some amazing photo and video themes such as Red Zip Latex, Black Latex Catsuit at Sunset, Crimson Red Catsuit, Tropical Temptress, Black Latex Fantasy, Lavish Green Latex, Aqua Blue Sunshine and Latex in the Sun.

My Trip to Paris 2009

With all my crazy hectic work schedules, it was time for a welcomed "non-work" related holiday!

One place I had not had the chance to visit was the city of Paris.  I had heard so many wonderful things about this city, I just had to experience it for myself.

Myself and a long time friend, took the plunge and booked this trip at quite last minute notice.  The flight from the UK is very short to France, so I felt as I unfastened my seatbelt, I was quickly being told to fasten it again for landing in Paris.

On arrival, I was overwhelmed at what a pretty city this really is.  Whilst there I saw the most beautiful architecture, the famous Louvre, Eiefel Tower, The Mona Lisa, Champs Elysees, Arch De Triumph, Plas de la concorde, the famous Obelisk, and of course I spared some time to do a bit of shopping in some very luxurious designer shops such as Louis Vuitton etc.

Although I was only there for three days, I sure did pack in as much sight seeing as possible.  I loved every minute and would definitely travel back there again when I next have the opportunity!
