Strong Girl T-Tapp

In honor of this week’s annual T-Tapp Retreat Extravaganza in Safety Harbor, Florida, enjoy this letter I received and published previously from Kate, one of my T-Tapp students in the Kinesiology Department at San Francisco State University.

Kate underscores the difference you can make in your workouts with the challenge of correct exercise form and focus.

Hi Lani!

The live class really made a huge impact on my personal home practice. I went from doing what I call “Lazy-Girl T-Tapp” to “Strong-Girl T-Tapp.” I had no idea previous to the live meeting that I wasn’t doing T-Tapp with all of my strength.

Your guidance really brought to light how intense T-Tapp can be (in a great way!)

I really feel deep muscles being activated, especially in my back and ribs that I didn’t feel before. Now I picture doing the T-Tapp moves as if I was moving through thick mud as you described, every little muscle it hard at work!

I even have physical proof that I am working much harder!

Before the live class when doing T-Tapp at home, my heart rate ranged from 75 to 145 bpm (beats per minute) and I burned 100 calories in 51 minutes. Post our “live” class, my heart rate ranged from 75 to 165 bpm and I burned a whopping 414 calories! I was absolutely shocked when I checked my heart rate monitor after doing the “Strong-Girl T-Tapp.”

My understanding and appreciation of each move has really deepened with the new understanding of proper technique. I now also really understand the sequence of the moves, whereas before I didn’t see the connection. Now when I do a strength-training move and then follow it up with a stretch, I feel the same muscles at work. Before I was just doing the moves, but now I really feel the moves.

I am so pleased to discover how dynamic each T-Tapp move is. I already feel stronger from the inside out. Your class was extraordinarily inspiring. Your personal attention and great descriptions really heightened my T-Tapp awareness and completely revitalized each move. With this new understanding I know I am going to be seeing major results right away.

Thank you Professor Lani!  ~Kate
