Monday is the measuring day I have chosen for the T-Tapp Workout. I started on August 9 and did 4 straight days of the workout. And then we went to Buffalo, and the workout waited on me… Okay, I did what is called the Primary Back stretch both days, just to keep me going, but I don’t have the whole thing memorized.
Yesterday I measured after I did the workout. I probably should have done the measurements first, but hey, I am tired and busy.
I am going to list my changes here. Note Changes. I am terrible at body image, but I will list change from baseline instead of full changes.
| Measurement | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |
| Bust: fullest point | -3/4 in | ||||
| Pecs:just above bust line | -1/2 in | ||||
| Ribs:top of rib cage below bust | -1/2 in | ||||
| Waist:at navel | +1/2 in | ||||
| Abdomen: three inches below navel in line with hip bones | -2 1/2 in | ||||
| Hips:tighten butt and fullest point | 0 in | ||||
| Upper Thighs:just below butt cheek | R: 0 L:-1/4in | ||||
| Lower Thighs: 2 in above knee cap | R:-1in L:-1 in | ||||
| Calves:fullest point | R:0in L:-1/2in | ||||
| Upper Arms:below deltoids | R:1/4in L:0 | ||||
| TOTALS: | -5 3/4 in |
Now I know many people claim to get amazing results the first week. Well, let’s be honest here. The first 2 workouts I was still working from the book. The second 2, I used the DVD and saw a difference right away. So far, I’ve used the T-Tapp on Monday and then I went to the gym this morning. I plan on doing MWF for T-Tapp for the next 5 weeks. I go to the gym on Tuesdays and I am planning on going on Thursdays or Saturdays. Keeping me going.
Another thing I am looking into is something called "Dry Brushing". Of course, there is a T-Tapp way of dry brushing, but that costs $$$ and I am a cheap bastard. So I plan to swing by Home Goods and find a reasonable brush to try. This will require some photographic evidence. The claim is that dry brushing will help reduce cellulose. Um, yeah… and all of the health "benefits"? No scientific studies I could find agreeing that dry brushing will stimulate the lymphatic system. In fact, no scientific studies at all. Once the poison ivy is all gone (maybe another month?) I can try this, but for now, I will simply research it. A Facebook friend says it is amazing! I wonder if it would work the same way with me.
That’s the scoop for now. I hope a public experiment will be good!
