Lauren Brooks' workouts are good, and both of the non-pregnancy workouts contain tutorials.
If you have never done a KB workout before, don't think that you will be an "advanced" KB user just because you are advanced in other types of workouts. KB requires a certain technique that must be learned and practiced, and good form in the basics like the swing before you become 'advanced'.
Many people just practice swings (adding them to other workouts, or doing them in isolation) until they are proficient in the form before moving on to other exercises.
Kim, The Fit by Cathe medballs that turn into "Kettlebells" are really too light and bulky for a real kettlebell workout. The lightest KB recommended for beginning women is around 15-18 pounds (20 pounds for stronger women), and a KB is more compact for the same amount of weight. I'd frankly recommend using a dumbell instead of the FBC medball with handles (I wouldn't call it a "kettebell"), which is possible for quite a few moves. (It's also a good way to try out KB training without investing in a KB, which can be expensive).
HTH!
