Questioning the validity of a program. What do you think?

I read about this workout program/routine in a member's diary. The member swears by it because it seems to be working for her, which is awesome. Anyway, I googled "T-Tapp" because I was curious and wanted to know more about the program. I came across the site for the program, which is and then began perusing the site. I'm interested in the program, though what I'm doing now seems to be working fine (cardio, weight-resistance, stretching, calorie counting, loads of water, plenty of sleep, etc.), but I became weary when I came across a bulleted point that claims "spot reduction for a trim torso and long, lean arms."

Should I question the validity of an entire program, especially one that costs, if the proponents of the program claim some sort of spot reduction? I only ask because I know spot reduction is a bunch of bs.

What do you think?

I've heard of the program before. I think it's more of a beginners program (if I remember.) I think they mean you will tone up - not spot reduce. Kind of like pilates, you will tone areas you never remembered you had!

Here is a review for it

And I think this is the regular website for it:
 
Always.

Morning,

I believe one should always question the validity to anything one is considering buying/following/implementing/etc.

When it comes right down to it, it's your money you'll be spending/investing/losing, so you really need to make certain you are comfortable with your potential purchase.

Here's some more resources I've found for T-Tapp -





Hope that helps,

Just from a scientific point of view there is complete holes in their method. This is really no different than what they do at those body wrap places. There are only two ways to rid yourself of cellulite, surgery/lasers or fat loss. People like to make it out as this mythical thing, its not.

This statement is pretty funny...

"For years, we've been told that cellulite is fat and nothing more. Well, I have seen thousands of models with "bumps" on their buns/thighs and they sure didn't have any excess fat on their bodies! We've also been told that if we exercise, cellulite goes away. Well, I've seen hundreds of women who work out all the time, and although they are "fit". they still have cellulite."

Well I have done the body fat readings on a 5'7 110 pound girl and you would be shocked at the amount of fat she had and no lean muscle mass.

As for the workouts and movements from what I looked at it didn't seem like anything special OR bad. Because they mostly tame body movement progressions (little to no external weight or advanced body movements) then you will like plateau and not get an increase in continuing contouring.

Lastly from the looks of things the diet aspect is low calories/high carb which as we know not the best route.

Overall the "cellulite treatment" aspect is shady.
The workout/diet aspect is pretty average run of the meal.

Would you get results on the program-Yeah of course, but nothing fantastic, tailored or overall uber healthy.

My advice, no matter where anyone goes to purchase a program, purchase a program FOR YOURSELF!!! You get general advice and guidance on these boards for free. That's really all this is, advice in a package and mediocre at that. If you are going to pay for something, make sure it for you and just you, make it special!
 
Yeah, thanks for your input, ladies. I guess I meant that I was interested in the program after reading about the member's experience with it. (Since the internet is a mansion with many rooms, I tend to find something that piques my interest and then spend hours reading about it, and then find something else, and then something else, and so on.) In short, I'm not really that interested in any kind of program I have to pay for unless the program is created for me as an individual (ie: working with a trainer).

My point is, I'm okay doing my own thing. I guess I just think paying for something that makes claims dealing with spot reduction is a bad idea.

And yeah, I've seen wicked skinny girls with cellulite.

The weight-loss industry is massive and for the most part terrible. David Hannum was right when he said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
