Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series 4 Disc DVD Set

I''ve done everything from yoga to spinning to TaeBo (remember Billy Blanks?) to P90X to pilates and back. I have been training with Dasha in her sold out class in NYC for over a year, and KB has been the most rewarding workout of my life! I leave each class feeling exhausted, challenged, and ready for another go! The results have been amazing!

I am very excited for these DVDs because I have been so eager to introduce my latest workout obsession to my family and friends who are too far or too busy to make it to Dasha''s live class.

KB Scorcher Series DVDs are a great & quick workout! They are shorter than Dasha''s live workouts but still pack a punch. I burn anywhere from 500-600 calories per workout! After each workout I''m drenched in sweat, but feeling energized.

The Series includes 4 different workouts which you can combine 2 at a time to get a mega workout or one at a time so you can spread them across the week. My favorite combination is the Power DVD (by far the most challenging of the 4 because of some serious high impact plyometric sets) followed by the Diversity for some core centralized mat work.

The workouts are done in sets, and each move is repeated for 1 minute. The moves target your whole body. Nothing gets a break! Dasha breaks down the moves so they are easy to pick up. There''s also a bonus clip in each DVD that breaks down basic moves in further detail, helpful for all those who are new to training with kettlebells.

Even though I think the DVDs are stellar, I have two cons: One is the lack of motivating music the other is that Dasha is talking non stop throughout the sets which is NOT something she does in her live classes. She gives great knowledge and pointers, but after a while you just want to tune out and let the music get you through the workout. To rectify this I have lowered the volume of the DVD and pumped up my own jams. Do that and the DVDs are perfection!

I''m so glad that I found the Kettlebell Kickboxing Scorcher Series because it absolutely works! I''ve been using the DVDs for a month now, and I am experiencing great results. When I turned 50 a year ago, I started working out 5-6 times a week. I''ve mostly used Jillian Michaels DVDs, but others as well. Though I still love those workouts (and lost about 20 pounds in the process of using them), I am seeing more physical changes with this Kettlebell Kickboxing series than any of the other workouts that I''ve done. I still use the others as an "extra" day sometimes, but I don''t feel guilty about my rest days thanks to Dasha''s guidelines.

At 51, and just one month into these DVDs, I feel strong, confident, and balanced. Others have mentioned that Dasha talks too much, but it actually makes me laugh when she says, "I have to stop talking now," and then keeps going. Her cueing is fabulous, and I appreciate her encouraging words throughout. I don''t like group classes, so I probably wouldn''t go to her live class even if I lived close enough to attend. These DVDs are just perfect for me, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an effective and challenging workout at home!

Kettlebell Kickboxing is an interval style workout using kettlebells, or a dumbbell. Most of the moves are pretty straightforward, and the addition of weight makes them more intense. Overall, I really like these workouts, they are shorter, the longest one is 45min with warmup/cooldown, but you work hard during this time. I don''t have a dread factor with these, and they go by really quickly. I think Dasha does a good job sequencing the moves, so the higher impact moves are spread throughout the workout. Dasha also encourages you to work at your own pace, and provides lower and higher intensity modifiers in the workout. I will say if you are new to burpees/sprawls, you may want to look at something with less sprawl/burpees/planks, or plan on using a step or some kind of bench to put your hands on. I do wish she would have included a brief tutorial on some of the more unique moves, but I did get it down after doing it once.

ProductionProduction values are good, the set is bright without being too bright, picture is clear

Set/ outfits Gym type setDasha and crew wear different style workout gear, mostly capri/ sports bra combos, nothing too crazy

MusicSupposedly there is music, however it is so quiet I can''t hear it over Dasha, or my breathing:)

InstructorThis is what I took one star off for, Dasha is never quiet, she does have a lot of good form pointers, but she chats, a lot. I reallly wish there was a music only option for this, and I plan on muting her and playing my own music once I have done the workouts more. Overall, she is likable, and seems to know her stuff, it is more the "stream of conciousness" style of chatting that was annoying.

I''m in love with this workout series! I''m a pretty avid home fitness user, and have relied on Jillian Michaels videos (I own them all) to help meet my fitness goals. I lost over a 100 pounds working out with them and eating right in about a year, and I''m finally at my goal weight. However, if you know Jillian videos you know that a lot of moves are repeat moves, and I really needed something new and exciting...specifically to achieve some final definition and tone.

I love kettlebells and came across this DVD on amazon. On the first day of using it, I stacked two of Dasha''s dvds for an hour long workout. I hate to continue comparing to Jillian, but I''ve never been compelled to go for a second round of her workouts after doing one. This was different though. I was pouring sweat, the moves were innovative & fun, and clearly isolated my remaining problem areas (such as that tiny pooch in the lower abdomen, hips, and butt). I am HOOKED. The great thing about kettlebells is the ability to combine cardio and strength into one workout, so you''re really getting a 2 for 1. No need to add in substitute cardio after doing this, which is great because I simply dread running in the winter.

The reviews are correct in saying that Dasha talks and talks and talks and....talks. There is *rarely* a silent moment. This doesn''t detract from the quality of the workout though. You have a mute button for a reason. I mute the DVD and play my own music in the background, so this is really a non-factor in my opinion.

I''m very happy with this purchase, for the mere fact that it''s almost plateau-proof. There are four DVDS that you can rotate as you wish to increase muscle confusion. On top of that, you can increase the weight of your kettlebell as you progress. I started the warm up with a 10 lb bell and it was way too light. I quickly switched to my 15 and will continue to use that for 3-4 weeks until increasing. I''ll definitely update this review in a month or so with my progress. =)

*UPDATE* 3/10/13 -I''m down 14 pounds! I do cardio 2-3 days a week, (usually the stepmill/stairmaster) at the gym, and do one of these dvds the other 3 days of the week. I''ve also noticed a VAST improvement in my cellulite. Last summer I was thin but still had horrible cellulite on the back of my thighs. It looks so much better after two months of this dvd and clean eating. I''ll definitely be buying short shorts this summer and I couldn''t be happier!

I''ve taken Dasha''s class in New York City many times, but often my schedule is too hectic to allow me to go more than once a week. The Kettlebell Kickboxing DVDs have been awesome for supplementing real classes, and they''re just great as an at-home workout, especially if you hate going to the gym like I do. Kettlebell gets a lot done in a little time, with moves targeting multiple areas of the body all at once. Working out with Dasha will have you feeling fitter and stronger, and the 4 DVDs allow you to switch up your routine to avoid getting bored and always create a challenge for yourself.
