I started T-Tapp’s 15-minute Basic Workout Plus a month ago today. T-Tapp is a really neat workout, it is a whole body workout that works different muscles layer by layer. With the Basic Workout Plus that I do, just as I start feeling tired, it switches to another muscle group.
The workout wasn’t overwhelming to me, but I was tired at the end, had worked up a sweat, and had that extra energy the rest of the day that a good workout gives you. All from 15 minutes of following along with a DVD! I’ve tried joining gyms in the past, but never stuck with it. T-Tapp is easy to stick with since it’s just 15 minutes and you don’t have to drive any where.
A week later I printed out the ‘flat tummy’ sequence and started doing that before the 15-minute workout, as I was curious to see if I could actually re-position this belly that carried two adorable babies (if you didn’t know, I gained over 60 lbs with each of my pregnancies. I was able to easily lose the weight, but everything didn’t exactly go back where it was before. You moms know what I’m talking about!).
Over the past thirty days, it’s been my intention to do the 15-minute workout 5-6 times a week, but in reality it only happened 3-4 times a week. Even still, I have noticed a huge difference in my saggy baby belly! I’m down two notches on my belt (about an inch, the notches aren’t very far apart), and I’m fitting into a skort now that I didn’t fit very well when I got it a couple months ago. I haven’t been changing my eating habits during this time, I’m still sticking with low grains, real whole foods 90ish percent of the time, with a little bit of ice cream thrown in on the weekends.
This isn’t all for vanity- I have loads of energy in the afternoon now too, and T-Tapp really strengthens your core, which improves your posture and makes you feel good. I am prone to tendinitis when I use my hands a lot for repetitive activities, but after the T-Tapp workout, the soreness is gone. It may be from increased blood flow with activity, or stretching, but it works for me!
Just going by how my clothes fit, how my tummy looks, and how I feel, I’m thrilled to say that T-Tapp works really well! I love it that it’s a 15 minute workout. While I’d love to get up before the kids and do it then… my daughter wakes up at 6:00 and that’s early enough for me! So I do it after they go down for a nap at 11:00 and I find that it wakes me up and makes me even more productive for the rest of the afternoon.

I have lots of weight to lose (80+) be be in the healthy weight range. I’m going to a gym for the cardio equipment. When I’m feeling brave I’ll jump on the weight machines. I would love something I can do at home to help tone the areas where I would be loosing inches. Something at home would also give me more time to be with my daughter and less time in the car and nursery.
This sounds just like the kind of work out I’ve been looking for. I would love to win it!!

15 min sounds like all the time I have with two kids under three!
My belly desperately needs repositioning. I’m tired of watching my old clothes look good on my friends! I want my body and my wardrobe back. Please let me win.
I gave birth in December, after gaining over 60 lbs. during pregnancy. I’ve lost about 40, with another 20 plus to go, and I know exactly what you mean about things being out of place.
I work full time and wish to spend most of my time at home nurturing my precious little one, so it would be great to have a quick workout plan like this to help me get back to my pre-pregnancy shape.
Thanks for offering up this giveaway!
If T-Tapp has helped you I’m sure it can help me. Even if I’m not chosen, I will use the 15% discount to purchase my own copy. Thanks for sharing.
My baby is nearly 6 months old and I’m finally ready to start toning and strengthening. Plus, my energy level needs a boost.

HI!
This would be a great thing to win- like you, I carried three babies and easily lost the weight after while bf, tandem bf and catching up with two active toddlers. Still, all the carrying, gardening, fermenting in the world hasn’t helped to restore the tone I’d like.
Thanks,
Tina
i would love this! i have had 4 babies and NEEEEEEEED tummy help!!!

I just had my fourth baby three months ago. Enough said!!!;)
I just recenlty stumbled across T-Tapp and have been searching out reviews. I am so glad to hear it works! I will be ordering it if I don’t win. Thanks!
I receive your email updates.
I would love the Tapp Core DVD! I need to get back to the 15 min. workout. I keep saying that….. Oh, have you tried the dry skin brushing? Many people claim it helps pull that tummy skin back into place. I looked for directions online, found a brush at the store and then brushed every morning. I need to get back to that also.

I am pregnant and due in two weeks and, when I have this baby, I will have 2 under age 2 and just want energy to keep up with my little boy and a new baby. But not only that, I want to get to a point where I can look good again for my husband. He is such a dedicated father that I want to do something nice for him. I work full time and don’t have the extra income to pay for a gym membership, so this would be fantastic!
Hey! I’d love to try this. Despite my healthy traditional diet, excercise doesn’t come as easy or as passionately to me. My well meaning intentions to exercise need a PLAN and a method to get them moving! This sounds like a great PLAN for a Mom who’s home-base is at home! I’d love to try this, at home! My husband always reminds me that exercise is also a very important health aspect, so this might help me say- yes honey, I did exercise! And that would probably help prevent any lower back pain in the future. Hope I win!

I would like to win this because I haven’t been able to get down to my pre-pregnancy size, despite improving my diet and working out over the last 7 months.
Hey there! This is just what I have been looking for. I am a retired dancer from the NYC Ballet,married to a Firefighter with a crazy schedule, mother of four(10,7,5,6months).C-sections have done a number on my tummy. I am starting homeschool and am looking for a workout like the
T-Tapp to put my belly back ! Thanks so much for the opportunity: Man I hope I win!!
I’ve been working on losing weight after being very ill last winter-a combination of antibiotics and prednisone did a number on me! That, and I want to be in the best shape possible before we start trying for kids.

I used this program years ago and loved it. I’d love to get back into it now after having had 5 babies!
I would love to win this because I have so many friends at church that RAVE about T-Tapp! Also, I am having my 4th baby–and this body is going to need some quick help after she is born. I will be a busy nursing, homeschooling, fermenting mama–yet I can’t neglect to work out!

After that review who wouldn’t want to try the system out!? I’m always looking for a quick effective workout.
This sounds like a great way to get in good shape, and I like it that there’s not a lot of rocky music to go along with it.
I’m also subscribed via email.
I would love to try it, I’ve heard so many great things about it! Two kids later, I have the same problem you have! My weight isn’t too far off, but it has redistributed! Aaargh! Hours at the gym don’t seem to help as much as I’d hope, so I’d like to try something new!
And I’m a subscriber!

I have heard about these dvds and the whole concept sounded great to me. I have lost 80 pounds in the past, but am starting to gain a little back recently. Having a new workout would be motivating for me. Thanks!
I subscribed to your email feature for your blog. Thanks!
This sounds like a really interesting workout. The idea of 15 minutes makes me want it. I plan on trying Jillian Micheal’s 30 Day Shred next week. This would be great to throw in, since I doubt I’ll be able to do that every day.

I’d love to try this! My body is SO out of shape and I feel it every morning I get up and my back is so stiff, and every time I pick up my little bowling ball of a baby! She’s been like 25lbs since around 9 months or so and it’s been wearing me down, my back is so out whack because my muscles are just nonexistent. I’m going to check out their site, because I love the idea of only 15 min a day to work out all my muscles groups!!!
i would love to win this. i live in florida and it’s way too hot to get outside with the kids and workout. i have a 21 month old and a 2 month old, i’m tandem nursing and have dropped some weight pretty fast, but my energy levels are almost non existant. i need something to really get myself going again, and i think this might be helpful. i’ve tried some other videos but they are all a little too much at this point.
So glad you posted a review on this – I looked at it awhile back and kind of forgot to go back to it. I’m on my third pregnancy, and my core muscles are all suffering after three pregnancies in four years. But especially those tummy muscles…talk about flabby tummy!! I will totally need to work on them after I have this baby.

as a fellow- “60lb gainer” during my pregnancy- I NEED this!! hah! I lost the weight just fine with our whole foods diet, but the natural birth I had planned ended up with a CSection- yikes! i need some tummy help! thanks for all your wisdom on here. LOVE this blog!!
I would love to win this because i had our 4th baby in Aug. She was born a wonderful surprise. Her siblings are 18,14,& 10yrs old.
After having her I lost alot of the baby fat that was hanging around from the oldest baby. 
I went from a snug size 12 to a size 1. I now need to tone my belly and the rest of my body.
Thank you!
Hey cara! As a LOOONG time t-tapper I can attest to the fact that it makes a huge difference! It is also easy and fun! Some of the advanced moves are odd looking but they really work. Drop me an email if you are interested in some of the older tapes because I have doubles and would LOVE to give them to someone who appreciates them! Hugs and keep doing those hoe downs! Alex P.s Will share this giveaway on my thoughts on friday link love so you will get more entries!

I’m in the same boat. My second little one is now 4 months old. The weight has been coming off fine, but I’m in need of some major toning!! I’ve always enjoyed workout videos & dvds. I owned some goo tapes, but our vcr broke.

Sounds like a great, quick workout for someone with two littles! I could definately use something to help lose the extra baby weight.
Could do with a little trimming…well more than a little, but that’s just between you and me;)
*whispers* I want to win because my adorable little guy made my butt sag when I was preganent.
I’d love to win because I’m *almost* at my goal weight, but haven’t had time for workouts lately. I think this video would put me over the top!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love T-Tapp Core. I just heard about this program last week, and am hoping to start soon. I need something I can do from home when my two little toddlers are napping, and I am in need of gaining core strength and endurance.
I have been in a workout rut…meaning I have stopped working out! I’m ready to get my energy and shape back. This DVD sounds like it would be really motivating and something I can do on my own.
Your review and the description on the website sound like a really helpful and interesting.
Thanks!
I have 3 kids under 3 and I work part time. 15 minutes a day is all I can do. I had twins the first time….my tummy really needs help.
Thanks
Since we don’t have the time or money for a gym membership, I’d love to have some guidance working out at home.
So excited to read about this! I have three babies and the third baby just did me in
Same situation – same weight but different body. I would love to try something that worked for someone else in my same situation. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! I visited their website and it looks great!
