Encouragement for T-Tappers
So, I was perusing Lani Muelrath's site (she's the head TTapp trainer) and there are some success stories there that are very encouraging!! Debra's Success Gallery was especially encouraging. If you go down the page and notice the profile photo's of her face . . . WOW! It just goes to show that inch loss is usually all over, and sometimes in places where we don't measure!!
Consistency is the key to success not matter if you're doing BWO+ or TWO. Pushing yourself to your max will always get results.

Hoe Hoe Hoe Down Time!!
So, Judy really inspired me and I'm going to join her, Julie, and Stephanie doing Hoe Downs after every meal. Anyone else want to join?!?!
Tip of the Day - Form Check on Hoe Downs
Of course from "Fit and Fabulous" p.135-138
1. Are you aiming your knee at the shoulder? When you knee aims to the center of your body, you inactivate  abdominal muscles. Tip: Tighten the muscles between your shoulder blades and tuck your butt every time you lift your knee. This will help stabilize your spine and deliver faster inch loss in the tummy.
2. On side lifts - do not allow your upper body to tilt toward your knee as it lifts. Your upper body should maintain an isometric upright position at all times. Also, keep knee to ankle alignment. Allowing the foot to move forward in front of the knee whle you lift inactivates muscles that attach to your hip joint (abs, inner/outer thigh, and hip). Focus to tuck, tighten, and push with every lift to maximize inch loss.

OK, so now you have even more to think about while you do Hoe Downs!! Teresa says this is a mind and body workout!!
To let you guys know what I'm doing now after my bootcamp . . . I started doing EOD of TWO, but I felt stiff on my "off days". So, I contacted a wonderful trainer, Annette, whom I've e-mailed before, and she was wonderful at advising me on where to go from here. See, I figured out that I really want to capitalize on the Less is More concept, and realistically an hour workout every other day with 5 children is sorta hard to do. So, this is what I'm doing: Replacing TWO with Tempo Lower Body (standing) EOD, on "off" days I'll do BWO+, Sunday's will be totally off. AM- PBS (if I'm not working out until the afternoon), Hoe Downs after each meal - I even have my 10yo son doing it too!! PM-OIP, AL, PT, DD for a 14 day challenge. Whew!

Plans fail for lack of planing
So it's been a few days since I blogged anything about T-Tapp . . . I've been busy! I feel more busy now than when we were doing school.  Not that we're running all over...those of you that know me know I DO NOT like to run here, there, and everywhere.  We just haven't found our summer nitch yet - hopefully this week. Commercial over - back to TTapp . . .
I actually find it mentally harder to do TWO every other day than BWO+ plus other moves every day. I think it's a mental thing that TWO takes an hour and BWO+ plus other moves takes (in my mind) 15 minutes, although in reality it takes about 45 minutes. It's mental thing, I know. Please pray that I find my niche on my "off days" (which you can actually do 20 minutes of TTapp on "off days" and not overdo).
Sorry - no tip of the day except be sure you're getting enough sleep...like I need now!
