It is time to get serious about exercise again! I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve owned and used T-tapp for over 10 years. Yes, you read that right, 10 years!! Why then, am I not a slim and fit mother of 6 children? Well, because owning T-tapp is totally different than doing it. Consistency is a big, BIG! part in dropping inches, the T-tapp way. It seems like I’m good at making excuses…and I’m almost ALWAYS sidetracked with something or another. Last night, my dear friend Amy challenged me to start a T-tapp boot camp tomorrow. I think this is the nudge I needed as I’ve been putting it off for days….with “plans” to begin again. I will be using the 15 minute video called Basic Workout Plus (aka BWO+). I used to think I had to do the Total Workout which lasts 55 minutes in order to lose inches, but have since learned that is not true! Once, when doing a boot camp, I lost 9 inches from my body in a 2 week time period. I thought that was amazing results, but have learned that sometimes people lose 15-20 inches in their 2 weeks!
What does a boot camp entail?
- Measure yourself!!
- Although not as important, weigh yourself to get a starting point.
- Have someone take a Before picture of you from the front and the side.
- Do the workout every day for 14 days
- Expect to lose inches
- If you haven’t done the instructional, do that first to make sure your form is correct!
What measurements should I take?
-
Right & Left Arms: below deltoid muscle, 3-4 inches from armpit center
-
Bust: at fullest part of bust
-
Waist: at or slightly above navel
-
Abdomen: 3 inches below navel, in line with hipbones or hip pads
-
Hips: Tighten buns and measure fullest part of butt
-
Right & Left Upper Thighs: just below butt cheek
-
Right & Left Lower Thighs: 2 inches above kneecap
-
Right & Left Calves: at fullest point
Did you know that you lose more inches when your form is correct, so don’t take that lightly! If you get a chance, watch the Yes You Can seminar for lots of extra form tips. If you are beginning T-tapp, comment and let me know how it’s going! I will be updating the blog on my progress.

I used to really love T-Tapp, but I havent beena able to do it since I had knee surgery 2.5 years ago. I've been wondering if Im finally just about able to do it again.. I'll try one of these days before too long. May give myself another 6 months or so, but I always enjoyed it too.
I have a friend as well who used just the 15 minute WO and she lots loads of weight & inches over a couple year span. She never did get to the Total Workout.. <G> Every little bit helps!
Good luck! & happy Tapping!
