T-Tapp Workshop

Picture of the Day for 7/21/2012. I attended a four-hour T-Tapp* exercise workshop today. Our instructor, Elizabeth, is pictured above. I have the book and the DVDs, but it's hard to know from just those if you're actually using the proper form so I jumped at the opportunity to attend a live session which doesn't happen often since there are no certified trainers living in Utah. We were all newbies in the class so Elizabeth spent the entire four hours painstakingly teaching us the basic workout. At tempo, the basic workout should take about 15 minutes. It turns out I wasn't using the proper form and doing so kicks your butt. I was exhausted by the end of the session.


The following description comes from the www.t-tapp.com website: What is the T-Tapp program? It is a comprehensive, compound muscle movement done in specific sequence involving isometric isolations with linear alignment and neuro-kinetic flow. It works muscles layer by layer from the inside out and develops muscle density instead of muscle mass. Because of this, rapid reshaping can take place. No jumping, no weights and no dieting. Inch loss comes quickly at an average of one clothing size per month with no loose skin. Best of all, it works regardless of age or fitness level. T-Tapp is designed to put the body in proper functional alignment, restore metabolic function, and stands on its own as a complete workout as well as enhancing the effectiveness of ALL of your workouts. Basically, your entire system gets "tuned up" like a finely adjusted machine. This technique has some similar principles to Yoga, Callanetics and Pilates, but at the same time it is nothing like them.
