T-Tapp Tuesday–A “Back to School” Giveaway!

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

As promised, I’m going to have a giveaway!

 

But, also as promised, you’re going to have to work for it! ;)

 

The prize is a natural bristle skin brush from T-Tapp!

 

 

Dry skin brushing is great for exfoliating, detoxing, eliminating cellulite, and tightening the skin–think of it as “exercise” for the skin!

 

Now, for the “back to school” part!

 

Fit and Fabulous in Fifteen Minutes is a…well...fabulous book! :)

 

It has the moves from Total Workout–Basic Workout part is in chapter 4 and the rest of Total is in chapter 5.

 

I’ll admit, it is difficult to get the continuity from the book, but it’s doable!  Once you have done the Instructionals from the dvds and then the workout for awhile, you can revisit the book, and the form tips will click even better for you!

 

I honestly think every T-Tapper should reread it once a year, at least!

 

What I am doing, as a trainer-in-training, is to read and study a move or two, then practice “teaching” it as if I have people in front of me–cueing, spotting, talking it, and doing it myself, with good form –or at least a good attempt at it!

 

By doing this, I am really cementing the tips and tweaks in my brain to help me with my teaching and with my own form.

 

For instance, over and over I see “keep your shoulders back”, or shoulders “back in alignment with your hips” (ribs up!), and in one spot, “Keeping shoulders back in alignment with your hips will maximize your body’s ability to lose inches.”

 

Like anything else the more you do it and read about it, the more it “sticks”!

 

Teresa has built in many moves to help eliminate excess lactic acid, which helps reduce muscle soreness post-workout.

 

Most moves also deliver body sculpting, inch loss, cardiac conditioning and help develop a stronger core.

 

Form is a progressive thing.  As you get stronger, you can provide more resistance, which is like adding weights–without the weights!  You will get max results even though you never have to increase reps!

 

 

Don’t be deceived—sometimes moves can be seemingly simple, yet the results are BIG from head to toe!!

 

The best thing?  Even on time-crunched days, you can do a quick Primary Back Stretch and then a few moves, kind of a mini-max workout, and still lose inches and fat.

 

Start “studying” in chapters 4 and 5, look for the words I italicized above, and discover how less is more with T-Tapp!

 

 

First one to post the answer— page number AND the move(s) I’m referencing—gets the brush!

 

Now that’s a sweet deal!  ;)
