AWT examples
I think Slim Series fits the AWT category better than most of Cathe's workouts. Other possibilities are:
lots of Firms, FitPrimes, TLPs/TLTs Hollywood Trainer: Kickbox-Bootcamp, Cardio Sculpt Karen Voight: GWW, Burn & Firm possibly Jari Love's workouts (don't know them well) I know there are tons of others but they're not springing to mind right now. I don't know about NYC-- I guess I'd consider that a fast-paced weight circuit that elevates the heart rate through the pace of the movements (and the PHA effect). --- Hi NoraKate! And "mrow" to N'Toth too!

Slim series is borderline. It may be considered AWT for a beginner. Because Cathe focuses more on isolating muscles during weight work, her workouts are just circuits. The TLPs and the classic firms are probably the best examples of AWT. Jari Love's RTTC and 1000 also are borderline AWT. The new CIA with Sharon is a tough AWT workout (hare style). NYC with the fluid leg segments and non-traditional arm movements also has a AWT effect. What I look for in a AWT workout is for the HR to approach anaerobic during the weight segments (preferably compound and superset) to be followed by recovery back into the aerobic zone during the cardio segments.

NoraKate: Well, you know that I loathed the Joyce Vedral workouts, so I don't think I remember enough about them to say what they were! I'd guess they're fast-paced circuits, but not really AWT. But you should ignore me and wait for someone who actually knows them to comment.
Soapmaker: Thanks for the clarification and added information! I didn't think of NYC as very AWT-like, but it's true that when I tried it I was looking for something else (an opportunity to lift heavy using the video as a guideline for exercises rather than weight and tempo-- for which it didn't work that well, for me). Pam: I should have inserted a disclaimer: I'm just passing along claims that I've read elsewhere, so I hope there's a grain of truth of them if anyone else wants to make use of them!
