How much weight will I lose?

T-Tapp’s use of linear alignment with comprehensive compound isometric muscle movement and lymphatic stimulation results in rapid inch loss, because it builds core muscle density and tightens the internal muscle girdle. Muscle is denser than fat and takes up less room; therefore, actual weight loss will vary. T-Tappers prefer to focus on inch loss and clothing size changes rather than weight loss, as it is healthy to have a strong body and core.

What is T-Tapp based on?

T-Tapp is a rehabilitative approach to fitness. It is a unique combination of strength training, cardio, flexibility, core training and wellness building, like no other program you have seen. As you do the moves, you may be reminded of elements of physical therapy, martial arts, dance, yoga, and Pilates.

How often do you need to do the workout?

T-Tapp works like a reward system ... in the beginning you are working hard to regain strength and to rebuild primary body systems (i.e.: lymphatic system, neuro- kinetic flow, glucose utilization rate, spinal alignment and metabolic rate) but as you get stronger you will be able to maintain correct form easier and you will get even more out of the workout, therefore you don't have to do it as often.

T-Tapp does much more than just burn calories and fat. Ultimately you will be able to maintain your goal with only two workouts a week. Then when you indulge during vacation or during holiday season, just add a third workout during the week or do a "weekend bootcamp" (2 workouts per day, 2 days in a row).

Do I have to diet?

Dieting is not required for results. In fact, Teresa recommends that you not diet as you begin with T-Tapp, but instead add an additional 200 high quality calories per day so that your body has an appropriate level of high quality fuel at its disposal to rebuild muscles and body systems.
