It looks like you can purchase a $20 set from an Amazon seller (includes shipping).... I really think you'd like this series in view of your preferences.

Yep, I ordered the $20 set on Amazon. I hope it's genuine. Kind of weird that one set was selling for $200 & then another seller offers it for $20??

I would love a true Kettlebell/Kickbox workout series. Or maybe more like MMA/Kettlebells. With no flipping burpees... I love the original Scorcher Series but I get tired of all the burpees.

if you liked Zuzka's ZCut kettlebell workouts, you will like KCM's Slim Sculpting

I am a huge fan of Zuzka's ZCut kettlebell workouts and I think there is NOTHING BEGINNER about them. They are challenging.

I do two of her 15 min workouts together and always have DOMs. Well worth the money spent. I will caution true beginners though, there is not enough instruction or form pointers for a kettlebell novice.

The only other workout I've found that is similar to Zuzka's are Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Slim Sculpting. The two workouts on her DVD are 35 min long.

I've tried other kettlebell workouts but ZCut & KCM's are the ones I stick with. No dread factor at all.

Confession time: I don't do the burpees & sometimes I even skip the sprawls. Either I just skip that section entirely or I'll do pushups or something else instead; it just depends on how much time I have.

I used to be anti-burpee. I forced myself to do them and the sprawls in KBKB workouts. While I don't love them, I don't dread them. They also did amazing things for my core strength. For some reason, they don't annoy me as much in Dasha's workouts as they do with other instructors.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to order the KCM workouts too! They look like something I would like.
