T-Tapp

Monday, September 20th 2010

I did my T-Tapp nworkout tonight.  I feel accomplished, energized, and a bit sore.  But at least it's a good muscle soreness, not an "I didn't do anything and hurt" kind of pain.  I yanked out the instructional tapes.  I made it all the way through Instructional Tape 1 with just a decrease in a few reps of two exercises.

I began with Instructional Tape 2 tonight.  I got through most of it.  I decreased the reps on the Lunges, Balance Sequence and Thread The Needle.  (see http://www.t-tapp.com/ for more information on this workout.)  I stopped after the Arms Sequence.  I just didn't have anymore energy or strength left in me and I didn't want to push my back further.  I hurt!  But again, it's an accomplished type of hurt, which is always better than hurting doing nothing.

Day 3 of bootcamp!  I did Instructional Tape 2 again.  I made it as far as yesterday, through the Arms Sequence.  It's so hard to keep going.  Once I am done I feel that good, tingly, muscle soreness that let's me know it's effective.  I need to take LOTS of water breaks and sit to rest my back in between exercises more than I'd like to, but at least I am plugging away and barreling through it.  Hopefully soon I'll see results!

I did the Instructional Video 2 again, but I made it through Torso Twist!  It came a bit easier tonight.  It was like my muscles remembered exaactly what they were supposed to do and just ran through it without thinking.  I did almost all of the lunges and cut them short because of some ankle pain, not leg fatigue.  I only did 4 reps of weach segment of the Balance Sequence because my hips were hurting the past few days.  I did all of the U-Swings and 6 reps of Thread the Needle.  I did the Arms Sequence sitting down again, and I even pulled off a set of Hoe Downs!  Talk about feeling accomplished!

As much as the T-Tapp workouts are hard and hurt, I feel better doing them again.  I can tell I am getting stronger.  I feel it in my legs and my back.  If only I felt it more in my tummy - that's why I am trying to do the ab portion at least every other day, if not everyday.  After four days in a row, I feel like I might be slimmning a bit, not much, but it might just be better posture and carriage.
