Here is an article that talks about what the color of the resistance band means as far as strength:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/14...istance-bands/ Lately I have been using the red band the most because my green one deteriorated and I was too cheap to go buy a new one. I also have a blue band but find it incredibly difficult for certain moves that involve the shoulders or back. I can manage it for the biceps and possibly triceps, but that is it. So, you may find you need more than one depending on what exercise you are doing. Something I have noticed with both CLX and TF is that I need a really long band (don't know if they make different lengths or not) or I have to modify by only using one foot on the band when they are doing moves where you stretch the band over your head. Also, there are some moves in CLX where she also uses a stretchy band (different kind of band) that you tie around your legs. You don't absolutely have to have it to do the moves, but it provides more of a challenge. |

That is an interesting idea, I never thought of that. I guess the reason why Chalene does it the other way is to get more of a total body workout, activate your abs more, work your legs more, etc. CLX has breaks between exercises so there is plenty of time to set up with the band in whatever way you need. When I was doing TF I found that she moves a lot quicker through the moves and sometimes I had to move the band around pretty quickly to keep up.
