Thanks for the replies! I'm seriously thinking about getting it. Only thing keeping me back is that the workouts are longer.

That's exactly what held me back, but I figured with summer coming maybe I could find enough time to do them once in a while. I'm also wondering if they could be shortened by skipping some repetition (but sometimes she switches sides on the repetition, so that wouldn't work). Anyway, I did just get these -- haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Please let us know how you like them and whether they can be shortened. I also didn't get them because of the length.

Will do -- might try one this weekend. The white screen was also off-putting to me, but I ended up getting 7 Day Lean which also has that background, and I really don't notice it much while I'm working out fortunately.

I REALLY REALLY like this concept. I don't like all of the sprawls - there are other forms of cardio, seriously. I also wish there was more kickboxing. I feel like these are more Kettlebell/MMA conditioning. I like the original workouts, but I may have to borrow one from Bee (she's my neighbor, kind of *waves wildly at Bee*) to see if I like these.

Hi Christine!! I love Dasha's workouts -- I'm on a complete Dasha kick right now and haven't done any other video for five weeks now. I think I will definitely give one of the Scorcher 2.0's a go tomorrow morning (if I'm not too wiped out -- didn't get nearly enough sleep last night).

ETA: And of course I will loan them to you whenever!

That's a bummer. I like the original Scorcher series and the length of them.

Ok, I did Killer Combos this morning -- really had intended to do Pure Power, but completely forgot about the discs being labelled backwards. I should have remembered when the time didn't match my expectations but maybe I wasn't fully awake! Honestly, I think this is my least favorite Dashsa set. Both workouts are all tabata sets and there's only so much of that I can take. The good news is, I do think you could shorten these workouts by doing only some subset of the sets. The bad news is, these are not chaptered in a way that makes using the skip button easy to do that. There is a minute rest between each tabata set, so you could use that minute to fast forward to whatever next tabata set you might want to do. Does that make sense? I think it's just as well that I did the shorter workout by accident because I'm not sure I could have made it through even one more tabata set!

Old thread alert!!!!

I am very, very late to the KBKB bandwagon, but I think I have found my soul workout I am doing the Body Series right now.

Does anyone have an update on these?
