I kept hearing mention of T-Tapp on TA/barre/Callanetics threads, so I borrowed the "Barefoot Basics" workout through my kineticflix subscription. I just received it and as I was previewing it all I could think was "WHAT.IS.THIS??" The movements seemed completely different from barre/TA/Callanetics and even in Callanetics (arguably the most "different" compared to barre and TA) the movements are clearly influenced by Lotte Berk and ballet.
So I did read the reviews here on the T-Tapp System -great reviews, BTW - and I know that the T-Tapp website has a forum, but I think the vfers are unbiased so I wanted to hear your thoughts on the following:
- For those of you who did T-Tapp consistently, what were your results? If you were doing other types of workouts (e.g. traditional weight lifting, cardio, etc.) at the same time, do you credit some or all results to T-Tapp? The website claims all sorts of things (your cellulite will disappear!); are any of these claims true for you?
- For those of you like me who will keep doing different types of workouts regardless (I know I miss, say, yoga after not practicing for a while, so I know I won't stick with one type of workout exclusively even if it gives me great results), is T-Tapp a good addition to your fitness toolbox or are there more effective types of workouts for the results you want?
- Why the insistence on wearing shoes?
I do most of my workouts barefoot on a yoga mat (though I wear proper workout clothes; I'm just weird like that) and I really don't see much of a difference between wearing or not wearing shoes in any system - except for band workouts where you have to step on the band.
TIA for your thoughts! I'd like to give T-Tapp a fair chance before it gets Joni-O'ed all the way back to the mailbox!
