You cannot go wrong with Your Best Body.
Bootcamp is good but I don't reach for it as much as other KCMs. I love Body Shop. Always seems to give me DOMS the next day if I lift heavier. I use this often. Lean Body Circuits is a good choice. It has more cardio than Body Shop so you'll get a nice balance of strength and cardio work. |

Since you like her kickboxing, I'd highly recommend TLC (Train like a contender). I think it's one of her most fun workouts!

Garrie, I also enjoy Lean Body Circuits. I use that one in many different ways: the full workouts, the premixes, a couple of chapters as an add-on, etc. (BTW, I use Step Boxing like that as well. I see you already have it; I hope you like it.)
Another vote for Strength & Stamina. It's such a flexible weight routine--you can do 1, 2 or all 3 sets of the moves, depending on how much time you have or how hard you want to work. I the 22-minute step add-on. I do it on the floor, as I think the moves are kind of fast (for me) to do safely on the step. But I've done it 5 or 6 times this year.

If you're still loking for someone else's .02...
LBC is a top fave of mine from Kelly, and I REALLY think LBC would be right up your ally and that you would enjoy it immensely! I also REALLY really like YBB and her Bootcamp (though, with my current training preferences, I haven't found a way to work them into my rotations). Bootcamp is DECEIVING and REALLY catches up with you. It kicks my butt EVERY.TIME! I think you would enjoy that one, as well. I was, sadly, not in love with Body Shop. I didn't HATE it, but, after my first time doing it, I've never returned to it. (These are the notes I made after doing it: "This was kind of disappointing. I’m used to her workouts being TOUGH, really deceptive in how hard they are and just totally burning my muscles OUT. But, this didn’t do any of that. It was a good workout, don’t get me wrong, but after it was all over, I was just like, “Huh. That’s it?” I was just looking for more." I also HATED the music. Consequently, I was bored during the WO. Additionally, I found some of the moves really awkward. (I know that has been a common complaint of those who aren't fans of Kelly, but, I have done a good chunk of her WOs, and, neither before nor SINCE Body Shop have I ever found that to be the case for me.) Muscle Up, OTOH, I ADORE! It is one of my all-time fave strength WOs. I put in another vote for that. And, I really have to echo the sentiments of those whom have already recommended S&S to you -- it is a FABULOUS WO, AND, her KB moves are almost ALL just swings. NO real KB knowledge or experience required! (Knowing the proper form on a swing is helpful, of course, though, I find, when you choose the right weight KB [in this WO, for me, it's about half to a smidge more than half my squat weight], your body just automatically knows what to do.) And, if you're still not comfortable, as you wondered and someone confirmed, she DOES have the premixes where she takes the swings out. AND, to entice you even further, there is the STEP bonus (that others have already mentioned, as well).
