If you've got a 6- or 12-pack Collector's Edition, have you noticed the colors of the spines of the dvds?

While each workout features "4-Way Fusion" (4 training methods in each workout), the workout spines are color coded according to the predominant training emphasis in the workout:
(a) Blue = weight emphasis (darker blue is more weights than lighter blue)
(b) Magenta = cardio emphasis (darker is more cardio than lighter magenta)
(c) Orange = more yoga/pilates emphasis and
(d) Green = aerobic weight training.

These colors correspond to the bar graph shown on the Training Calendar-- and to the pie chart shown on each dvd back cover. (For the dvd spines, orange includes both yoga and pilates emphasis.)

Also, keep in mind that some activities are "dual purpose." For instance, a 4-limbed activity can combine both weight- and cardio-training. The charts and graphs show the predominant training factor-- and do not show the secondary training factor.

FitPrime is more "weights" oriented because of muscle loss after age 35. KickButt! is the only System to have aerobic weight training because of the physical demands of that method. KickButt also has more vigorous cardio activities.

Both FitPrime and KickButt! workouts are designed to be used as a "system" -- so the emphasis will vary from workout to workout to avoid overtraining.

Does this help??:)

What about "Crunch Time" and "Push Pull"? They are both the green color but on the back of the dvd case it's the smallest color on the pie........I hope I explained that right.

Thanks for the help.

The pie says green is pilates, not AWT so I am now totally confused (but sometimes it doesn't take much to confuse me :) )

Ahh I get it now! The bar chart, not the pie chart!

The codes are easy to remember.

Blue = more weights (darker is more weights than lighter)

Magenta = more cardio (darker is more cardio than lighter)

Orange = more yoga/pilates

Green = aerobic weight training

Remember that some activities combine two training methods-- so the color coding reflects the "predominanant" training effect.

All 6 workouts are designed to be used and work together as a complete workout system.
Hope this helps!:)
