THE EVOLUTION OF FITNESS ON YOUTUBE + how it impacted my health

[@sarahcp13]

I think this is the year many people will be dumping social media. i for one have deleted tiktok, instagram, and facebook. I didnt really use facebook but tiktok and insta, man. I was doom scrolling for hours watching other women make health and fitness-related content which only made me bitter about myself because i'd constantly compare my choices versus theirs, my body versus theirs, my lifestyle versus theirs. it was honestly so exhausting. also getting information from so many sources has led a lot of people to not know the difference between credible and non-credible information. the amount of times I personally told someone "i saw a tiktok where..." and really not knowing if what I just watched was even true or not was astounding. it's embarrassing and I regret it. I hope we move away from influencers in general because being constantly "influenced" is how all of us will have zero personality and self-esteem. we will never know what makes US happy, what WE like, and what WE want until we step back and make these decisions for ourselves, not just because someone said it was good to do or buy, or because we saw some pretty/skinny girl do something and now we think itll make us pretty or skinny. this video was like a breath of fresh air and honestly I could listen to you rant for hours! we need more content like this to break us out of this brainwashed state so many are in.

[@laney7776]

Agreed. I also have deleted social media. I deleted tik tok around 2 years ago. Finally made the leap and ditched Instagram, I deleted facebook too (but I never really used it.) But let me tell you, I have so much more time and feel so much more content with my life and my decisions.

[@sarahcp13]

@@laney7776 yes!! love that for you

[@WellWithHels]

Agreed! I'm using social media less and less, deleting apps and focusing on my own journey. BUT I do love me a Taylor vlog haha! x

[@julimgk]

Agreed! I deleted Instagram in December of 2022. I can say that I´m more peaceful than ever. Only keep tiktok, whatsapp and youtube. But yes, is like so much better life without it. 💕

[@madisonsyring5705]

I finally decided that this year I was working out for me, whatever that means & it can change! Here’s to refocusing our priorities! Better sleep, less comparison, working out for my health (physical & mental)!

[@TaylorWoods]

YES MADISON YES

[@Kadairswimgirlforlif]

This. This is why I follow you and will continue to do so. My thoughts about the fitness influencing world have also changed and I had to learn to love fitness again for myself and for the fact simple movement is ok. I’m so glad you promote balance in every way. I hope you know you’re helping so many❤

[@JJL3EE]

...i'm still watching this video but I can totally relate to wanting more the just the gym. Ive just back into going... In my early 20s I'd got 5-6 times a week for like 2-3 hrs and also worked at the gym. But haven't been as frequent, if any, since well before the pandemic. I started hating the idea of doing the "influencers" hyped routines. But being back after so long is nice... Ive cut it down to 4 days and 1 hr lifting sessions. Just to get out the house, since I work from home. Hoping to get back to climbing later this year. As its been fun and allows me to be a different kindof strong. All the to say... move your body in a way that makes you happy!

[@emmawalker7351]

as someone who has lived in utah my whole life, wasatch is pronounced with the a sound like you would say auburn, and satch as satchel. Utah people say things so wierd haha. Welcome to utah!!! It’s so amazing

[@zukihoney135]

I mean…that’s because Wasatch is an Ute word. It’s not “Utah people” but rather the original language of the people originating the land

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Taylor happy Wednesday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@TaylorWoods]

HAHAHA

[@britpowell]

Yay another video! Love the chat!!

[@TaylorWoods]

love you brit :')

[@tammystiletto]

Taylor, you are an athlete. You’re here trying to wrap your head around not working at the gym but you are exercising and happy..that’s called being an athlete. Ski Bum is fun to say but don’t allow it to replace or downgrade what you are 🙌🏻 I just hear this rant and I hope that you don’t feel that you have to explain why you aren’t posting the same things anymore. I’d take a get ready with me for the mountain and then a wave from the top Taylor Out any day. You don’t have to film yourself skiing. It’s impossible for me to film myself snowboarding 🤣 Also I’m so glad the people at your resort are happy, half the staff at mountain high in Cali look miserable. Maybe it’s because there’s no signs anywhere teaching any of the newbies how to behave. Could you do a video on mountain etiquette?? And if you aren’t sure because some things don’t occur to you right off I can give you some of my mountain peeves 😅

[@TaylorWoods]

hahahah you are amazing! and this makes me SO freaking happy. seriously. thank you. i could definitely try more mountain content and etiquette :)

[@sainsworth42]

straight 🔥🔥🔥. i love you owning you. 🤍

[@TaylorWoods]

i love you !!!
