I'm fairly new to T-Tapp and had been happily tapping for about a month with no "outside changes. I am hypothyroid, however, and one good thing was I had to decrease my thyroid meds which I attribute to T-Tapp because that was the only thing I did different.
I stopped tapping because after reading how important it was to have the correct form, I was so afraid my form was horrible. I also have a birth defect which resulted in my spine having fused/missing vertebrae which makes some moves difficult if not impossible for me to do correctly and I didn't want to do more harm than good. I definitely don't want to get any bigger!
Here's the thing though. When I stopped, after a couple of days I got extremely depressed. I felt horrible! I couldn't take that either. It was such a change from what I was feeling while I was exercising, so I started back. I have Instruction tape #1, BWO+ and SATI. I haven't done SATI only Instructional one and the hoe-downs afterwards. I know T-Tapp was having a positive reaction on my insides and my brain apparently. I feel much better now I've started back. Right now, I'm only doing the back stretch and hoe downs. I'm trying to get my form as good as I can on those 2 moves.
Unfortunately, right now I can't join an online class. I will say the way I felt after stopping has given me a HUGE incentive to keep doing some of the moves. I don't want to feel that depression coming back. As soon as I can, I'm thinking of getting the MORE workout to see if maybe I can get my form better from that. I haven't exercised "regularly" before starting T-Tapp, other than a 2 mile walking tape periodically.
Sorry so long....any advice would be very much appreciated! Everyone on these forums are so helpful and positive. I check them regularly even if I don't post. Thanks!
