Amy Bento Rumble is basically pure boxing (even has a heavy bag segment). Just be on notice that I need to wear weighted gloves and add some jumping jacks during transitions in order to feel like I'm getting a tough enough workout (or I guess you could do it "as is" for a day when you need a lighter workout). All that said, I do still like this one.
KCM's Train Like a Contender is an excellent and solid boxing workout (with toning and abs thrown in as well). I also feel like KCM's 30 Mins to Fitness: Kickbox (the original from several years ago) is more boxing heavy than kicking heavy. I really enjoy her style and feel you can't go wrong with any of her workouts.
Happy shopping!

Tracey Staehle's Kickbox Challenge is also really good with handy premixes,

Firemedic, when I have previewed her workouts they do not look like they move very quickly, enough to keep the heart rate up. Do you feel like you get a good workout? This is probably a silly question bc I think anyone on Cathe's forum is looking for a good workout.
Thanks for your feedback, Firemedic!
Lisa, thank you so much for the suggestions. I will definitely check them out!
Jamie, thank you so much! I will check it out. I do not have any of Tracey's workouts so maybe it would be good to step outside my box

Yes my heart rate is up. She has 2 modifiers. One is less impact and the other is a man doing more higher impact/advanced moves. Rapidfire #3 even has tabats in it along with some minimal weight work. I prefer Rapidfire #4, I find it harder and more fun. Both have premixes. She's different than Cathe but gives great instruction because of her level of blackbelt. Hope this helps. I've been reading some of the others responses and looking into them for myself. Good luck
I agree w/ Firemedic. I have all of Susan Chung's (4) workouts and I love them all. Her level of expertise is outstanding and it shows! She teaches classes and it shows! She knows how to get the heart rate up and keep it there. 2 of her wkouts also have a bonus bag segment. I would highly recommend ANY of her wkouts. I burn a lot of calories and feel a decent total body burn and pleasantly fatigued after. LOVE THEM. I also LOVE kickboxing!

Firemedic, this is really helpful. Thank you!
TLC93, thank you so much for the feedback. I will definitely be checking out her DVDs. I have a birthday coming up and I think I have a list of DVDs to give to my hubby for birthday ideas
Oh, my gosh, tlc93, how sweet are you. Yes, I am definitely a total fitness customer. Thank you for having my back.
Kelly Coffey Meyer and Susan Chung are great options. TLC has been mentioned but also consider the boxing only premix on KCM'a Trim Down. She is filming at the end of the week another boxing workout.
Gibbee, thanks for the heads up that KCM is filming a new boxing workout. Yay! I have Trim Down and love the boxing only premix. Thanks to the feedback from this post, I ordered TLC and 30 min to fitness Kickboxing. KCMs step kickboxing looked interesting to me as well. That is on my wish list as well as Amy Bentos Rumble.
Susan Chung's workouts looked good; however, I am looking more for the boxing versus the kickboxing. I am dealing with a hip issue and those round house and side kicks are brutal at the moment.
I would love for Cathe to do a DVD that incorporated all of the bag workouts from her various boxing/kickboxing workouts. I will keep my fingers crossed.
Firemedic, I appreciate the feedback. I have heard so much about Susan Chung, on this forum, and would like to try one of her workouts. This would be a good place to start even if it was only for part of the workout. I could use it as an add on. Thanks, again!

Thanks, Gibbee! I never seem to know when KCM is filming. I rely on friendly helpers like you to keep me on top of Kelly's latest releases.
Looks like she'll start taking pre-orders for her two newest videos on 3/22/15. Yay!Lisa
