Can I do Organs in Place/Half Frogs no matter what category I'm in?
This movement is allowed for all categories EXCEPT for those participating in the BASIC PLUS/SATI/SITTM/TAPPCORE category. There are no exceptions to this. If you want to be able to do this move you must select one of the categories that includes it.

Can I do extra Hoe Downs during the course of the day?
Yes, you can do as many sets of Hoe Downs as desired.

I play different sports, can I still do them and be entered?
If you are on a team and have an obligation then please just note it in your essay. If you are NOT on a team and thus not obligated to doing the sport, we would ask that you refrain from it for the duration of the challenge.

If I can walk with any category, does that mean that I can use Step Away the Inches, Step it to the Max and/or Leslie Sansone Walking Workout with any category?
You may not use Leslie Sansone with ANY category. The purpose of this challenge is to see your results from doing T-Tapp workouts.  You may use Step Away the Inches or Step it to the Max with any of the categories this year.

Where is the entry form? I can't find it.
The actual Challenge Entry Form will only be available from May 7 until midnight Pacific Time on May 9. You must have your entry completed by that time on May 9 to be a registered challenge participant.

The form will return on July 7 and be up until midnight Pacific Time on July 9 for participants to submit their ending measurements, photos and final essay. In the meantime, please thoroughly review the rules at http://www.t-tapp.com/challenge2010/Rules/index.html. There is an example of what your entry should look like here.

I don't understand why I can't do other exercises during this program.
The purpose of this challenge is to see your results using ONLY T-Tapp. While many people enjoy doing multiple programs, sometimes this can be detrimental to your actual results.

Case in Point... a columnist wanted to do a 30 day makeover with T-Tapp and write about it in her syndicated column. She shared with me that she had spent a full year doing Yoga, Pilates, swimming, other classes and basically starving herself and had managed to go from a tight size 8 to a loose size 8. I explained to her that T-Tapp is different and that she would see very fast inch loss results with it but she needed to ONLY do T-Tapp for those 30 days and oh by the way she didn't need to starve herself either. She argued with me for quite some time and my response was that if she was going to WRITE about her results with T-Tapp in 30 days then it wasn't fair for her to interfere with the results by utilizing other programs. After a lot of grumbling on her part, she finally agreed to do it that way and stop everything else for 30 days but she wanted to make sure that I understood that she is a "class person" and would be going right back to all of her classes as soon as the 30 days were over. Interestingly enough, after about the first 10 days I got an email from her saying that she couldn't believe the results that she was already seeing and by the end of the 30 days she had gone from her loose size 8 to a size 4 and she even had desserts! Needless to say she didn't need to go back to classes!

Please do NOT use a rebounder (trampoline), rowing machine or any other equipment or exercise machines during this challenge besides a treadmill or elliptical machine (both are a form of walking).

The point that we are making here is to try the challenge using ONLY with T-Tapp and see what you get. We think you will be extremely pleased. More exercise and even a variety of exercise is NOT always better -- especially when you are trying to lose.

Do I need to do a Boot Camp to kick off the contest? How many days in a row do I do it? How many times a week do I need to workout?
These are all personal decisions and completely up to you to decide. You can do whatever works for you during this challenge in terms of how often, etc.

Why can't I wear more modest clothing for the before/after photos?
The purpose of this contest is to get results and for Teresa to be able to actually SEE your problem areas in the before/after photos, you must be willing to pose for the photos in clothing that is fitted and shows those areas. We totally understand that not everyone can/will do that so this contest may not the best choice for everyone.

Why do I have to pose with a newspaper in a photo? Can I use a magazine or something printed out online?
You must use a newspaper dated May 7, 2010. We understand that not every small city has a daily newspaper but all of them do get USA Today and you have enough time to plan to insure that you have the newspaper when it is time to take the photos. It is NOT okay to pose with anything other than a newspaper and you will not be confirmed in the contest if you don't follow the rules. The reason for this is to show when you took the photos.

What if I want to do the contest but don't want to allow you the use of my photos/information?
Then please don't officially enter the contest. The truth is that Teresa is very generous with the prizes that she offers the winners, but this is also our way of keeping new, up to date success stories that we can use on our website and to pitch the media. New success stories help to keep our clients motivated and inspired. If you don't want your photos used, then try doing your own unofficial challenge outside of this one.

Can non US residents enter the challenge?
Yes.

If a non US resident is the Grand Prize Winner, will Teresa still cover the flight?
Yes she will - just be sure you have an active passport.

What if there is no way to attend the retreat if I do win due to very young children? Are there alternate prizes available?
We are not sure if there will be alternate prizes available. This retreat is going to be VERY small and intimate so the value of having that almost one on one time with Teresa is beyond anything you can imagine. We do understand the issue of having young children, however other moms in this same situation have been able to make it work to attend weekend and longer retreats by asking for help from their husband, families and friends. Sometimes their husbands have even taken off work to support their wife that has worked so hard to win something like this. We know that it sometimes seems impossible, but do some networking on the forums with other moms who have been in this situation and figured out a way to claim their prize. Please do not count on there being an alternate prize if you win and choose not to attend.

I don't know which category to enter. Can you help me decide based on my specific issues?
No, we cannot help you decide which category to enter for this challenge. Please re-read all the information about each category and make the decision you feel will give you the best results based on the information given. If you want to talk about specific body type issues, you can call the T-Tapp office and speak with a member of our staff who will be happy to help you.

I don't know what my body type is. Can you help me figure it out?
Yes, we can.  First you will need to take your measuremetns for Rib to Hip, Hip to Knee and Knee to Ankle as outlined in Teresa Tapp's book Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes on page 62.  Once you have those measurements, you can call or email the T-Tapp office at info@t-tapp.com and a member of our staff will be happy to help you.
