The TAP Program Workouts help you build muscle and strength by incorporating exercises from physical therapy and weight lifting with concepts of progressive resistance and daily undulating periodization. Muscle provides stability to keep your back, knees and hips healthy and comfortable, while helping you feel strong and building your metabolism.
Muscle also is the underlying support for the curves in your body. You can use more resistance to build more muscle where you want more curves (or need more stability), lighter resistance in other areas to build strength and stability without bulk. Muscle helps reduce the visual effects of gravity over time on the body.
Muscle also burns more calories than fat, meaning; muscle boosts your metabolism all the time, not just while you’re doing it.
This program helps you support the curves and metabolism you want without giving you the blocky body that often comes from traditional resistance or weightlifting programming or HIIT workouts.
TAP Program Workout also incorporates habit building techniques and customizable options you can choose for more activity and eating choices to optimize your results. We won’t tell you what to eat - but will guide you towards tools that help you make the right choices.

Let’s go through different options and explain the differences.

HIIT training at the gym is a great and effective workout. It also is time consuming and was making my body more blocky than I like. They incorporate weight programs and exercises that are designed around promoting a traditionally masculine image physique.

6-12 week challenges are workouts with plans that are incredibly effective, and also very time consuming. They are sustainable if you have an hour or more every day to spend in workouts, at the gym, for food planning, etc.

Cardio focused programs. They burn calories during the workout and have some after-burn effect. They don’t create sustained higher metabolism, nor do they focus on creating gravity resistant curves, joint stability or posture.

Glute focused programs are fantastic! There is a lot of glute focus in this program, and your hips, back and knees will love that support. But we are more than just our butts and we need more!

Bikini bodybuilding programs. These are also super effective! They are for people who have lots of time to devote to their physique and who want to build a bikini body builder body or something close. I have incorporated knowledge from and adapted some of their techniques into this program for people with different goals and less time.

Barre workouts are wonderful exercise programs. They do not use the progressive weight resistance needed to support the kind of strength building many people need as the decades pass.

TAP Program workout is different because it is designed by someone who has lived through the decades of lowering metabolism, who has a hard time fitting things into her schedule, who has the skills to modify for injuries and other issues, and who understands that we all have different bodies and different goals.

There are three different levels in TAP Program 1 Workout:
Basics
Bands and Bodyweight
Weights

TAP Program Basics is a body weight introduction where you learn proper technique as well as helpful modifications for the TAP Program exercises. It includes habit building help and concepts of how to customize your program for your goals. All the habit and mindfulness parts of the approach are here, with more coming soon on TikTok. Everyone should START with TAP Program Basics (it’s included with the others). It also is a great place to start if you’ve never done a weight based workout, if you’re starting back in after injury recovery, or want to just get a taste for it.

TAP Program Bands and Bodyweight includes TAP Program Basics as well as 3 x 30 minute resistance based, strength building workouts using resistance bands. We all need different strength resistance bands, so there is also guidance in where to purchase the right bands for you. TAP Program Bands and Bodyweight is also great for those who travel.

TAP Program with Weights includes Basics, and Bands and Bodyweight, as well as 3 x ankle weight and dumbbell based resistance workouts. This is by far the most effective of the workouts. Again, we all need different weights, so there is guidance in purchasing your own.

The first answer is to please ask your primary care physician or medical health specialist.
The rest is usually a resounding yes! This is a resistance based program, which means we are doing strength training.
Strength training is good for improving arthritis, posture, mobility (when done right), strength, agility, heart health, and blood sugar levels.

Strength training is good for raising metabolism, self-confidence, bone density, mood and resilience, brain health and cognitive ability.

Strength training is good for lowering blood pressure, visceral fat, which is associated with heart disease, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes and more, and for decreasing risk of falls and injury.

Modifications are given for different needs. And guidance is given for starting out with no resistance other than body weight and gravity.

Start right where you are! Listen to your body. Getting stronger is not a race, it’s a practice that gets better with consistency.

Everyone should start with TAP Program Basics. You need a strong foundation in great technique to get great results and to stay healthy. Want to hear when it is released? Sign up below!
