I did a similar t-tapp experiment a couple of years ago, doing just the t-tapp basic workout (3x pw) and some sporadic yoga for about 8 or 9 weeks. I can’t remember the specific results now but I definitely noticed changes quickly. The most surprising thing was that I lost 2-3 inches off my rib cage, I don’t really have fat there, so I think this was all due to pulling in/tightening of muscles. I also noticed that after a week or so my breathing felt deeper and fuller which enhanced my yoga workouts. I then got bored, typically, and moved on to the next fad (kettlebells!). At the moment I’m mixing t-tapp and callanetics, but I have fitness ADD and find it hard to stick with rotations. Good luck! |

LOL, this is true of probably 90-99% of us here and explains our gi-normous workout collections.

I'll be interested to follow your progress! I did T-Tapp almost exclusively for a couple of months when I was learning the routine, but since then I mostly mix it in with other workouts. Even if I'm not doing the actual workouts, I don't think that a week has gone by without doing at least Primary Back Stretch a few times... I don't find the workouts boring, because they require a lot of mental engagement for me .

I'll look forward to reading about your experience with the combo, as I've been adding more CS into my schedule recently, and love the way I feel.

That sounds like an interesting experiment Blessed Mom.
I also have a bunch of T-Tapp workouts that I have not done in a long time. I think that I will also try your experiment to see what results that I get. What workouts are you going to do? Just BWO+ ? and for how long? |

Funny this came up. I have a pretty large TTapp collection and was just looking at it the other day. I thought about trading/selling but I couldn't do it. I do like to throw them into the mix every once and a while. Sounds like a good rotation, BlesssedMom.
I do think TTapp mixes well with most exercise genres--especially yoga and kettlebells.

Good luck! I too have lots of T-TAPP dvds but I have only done BWO+ sporadically. I also adore CS/Essentrics and have tons of DVDs....
How long are you planning to do this rotation? I would love to join you in your experiment but I'm struggling with being consistent with working out. Good luck, again! |

I'm doing BWO+, the Total workout (tried the instructional part 2 last Sunday and really enjoyed it, and had DOMS afterward, even), and a few target pops - ladybug, diva derriere, etc. I also have the Hit The Floor and Ladybug Workouts, along with a few of the Tempos. I really like Tempo Arms and it's nice and short (like 30 minutes) so I will probably toss it in the mix for this challenge. I'm not sure how long I'll keep to this specific rotation. I'm hoping to get two solid weeks in, at least. Maybe longer if it grows on me and I don't miss my other workouts too much. Will come back and post when I get today's workout done...I'm running behind. Wanted to do some CS today too but it looks like I'll be lucky to get in a 15-minute workout. P.S. BalletCat, I hope I have results like that on my rib cage. Mine pokes out horribly since having my first child. They just have never gone back to their pre-pregnancy shape. Good to know there's hope for this issue! |
