Walking Backwards

Kaytlin does cardio and even walks backwards. "Here's how to walk backwards!" she wrote in a post. "5-10 mins before a workout for a warm up. 20-30 mins for some LISS cardio. Start with level one and see how your knees feel! Then progress through the levels once one level feels comfortable on your knees. NEVER push through knee pain."

Creatine

Kaytlin takes creatine, answering her followers' questions in a post. "When should I take creatine? Doesn't matter when, as long as you consistently take it every day. Should I take it on days I don't workout? Yes. Every. Day. Can women take creatine? Yes & they should! Every day. Can I take creatine if I don't workout? Yes, it doesn't just help with gym performance, it also is great for brain health. Why take creatine? It helps with energy, power, strength, endurance & brain health. It's one of the most studied & safest supplements out there & with amazing benefits for taking it," she writes.

How She Started MMA

"I grew up doing dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading. I made varsity as a freshman, my cheerleading team took first place at every single competition that we went to. I was captain my senior year. So, I thought I was set when I went and tried out for the college team, and then when I went and didn't see my name on the list I was like, "What the heck? What do I do now?" I knew I wanted to stay active and compete in something. So, I was thinking CrossFit or body building. I actually did a couple of body building shows, but I did not like it, I did not like the diet. So, my friends happened to take me to MMA fights my freshman year of college and there was one women's fight on the card, and I was like, "I'm doing that." So then after that, I found a gym and started training, and it's been 10 years now," Kaytlin told UFC about how she got into martial arts.

Martial Arts

While "everyday is different" with her training, "a typical day of training is going to team practice, where we focus on mma," she says. This includes "striking, mma wrestling, mma grappling then I'll try to go to 1 or 2 other training sessions whether that is," she told Century Martial Arts. Also, "boxing, muay thai, or jujitsu and squeeze in 45-60 minutes of strength training."
