Of the ones listed, I have Circuit Burn and Your Best Body. Actually, I just did Workout 1 from YBB this morning.
YBB is a high-rep workout. I use light (shoulders/triceps) to moderate (back/biceps/chest) weights for upper body due the number/tempo of the reps but can go heavy for lower body. The workout is set up so that you alternate 8 reps of two different exercises for the same upper body part for 3-5 sets. Then you work lower body, then standing core as a "rest." Then this sequence repeats with a different upper body part, different lower body move, and different standing core. With warm up and cool down it is a bit longer than 30 minutes -- probably around 35. The premixes have an option to replace the standing core work with cardio segments. There are lots of other premix options as well but I am blanking on them at the moment. I highly recommend Circuit Burn, it's one of my favorites. Lots of premix options. The workout can be done as circuits, intervals, all cardio, all strength, etc. I am an intermediate exerciser and find these workouts challenging but doable. I think you could make them more advanced by upping the weights. Steph |

I am like muggle--I LOVE Kelly (she is from my hometown!), but I haven't clicked with all of her workouts. I thought I would love Lean Body Circuits b/c I could do the cardio on my recumbent bike, but I found the cardio totally boring and repetitive. Here are my thoughts of the rest of the ones you mentioned: Your Best Body - a favorite! Kelly does LONG supersets in this one, so I think it can certainly be made advance by upping the weights--I'm intermediate but I have LOWER mine for this one. Weights - I wound up trading this. I do like how it has the choice of cardio or abs rests (which YBB has as well), but I got tired of it after awhile, esp. given that there were a few moves I didn't like at all (eg, "knees-chest-chin"). Circuit Burn - I like kickboxing, so I enjoy this one. The biggest advantage (for me) is that it is one of the MOST customizable workouts that Kelly has put out, with a huge variety in the premixes--I can do Boxing & Legs; Cardio & Boxing; Boxing & Sculpting; Cardio, Boxing, & Legs, etc. etc.! [Just for comparison purposes, I had Body Shop as well and liked some things about it (the hurdles were cool!), but ultimately, I found I wasn't enjoying it--ironically, I think I may have traded it for Lean Body Circuits.]

Out of the ones listed, I like Lean Body Circuits the best. It may be my favorite KCM workout actually. I really enjoy the weight work and the cardio moves are fun, though I confess that I skip the hi-lo segments at times.
I also like Plateau Buster (the no repeat premix ), and the weight segment of Cardio Pump quite a bit. |
