Depending on whether or not you have any home workout equipment (step, risers, barbells, dumbbells) here are some of my favorite video instructors ..
Cathe Friedrich - Mindblowing step vids ranging from more athletic to more choreographed .. also some seriously fantastic weight workouts, but you would need at least a couple sets of dumbbells to do them . She also has a few kickboxing videos as well.
CIA (I think they're only available through collagevideo.com) .. complete series .. I really like a few of the instructors, others aren't so great. I've loved anything by Franny B & Janis Saffel
If you're strictly wanting kickboxing .. I've done Billy, and a few others, and no one kicks my butt like the Powerstrike series by Ilaria Montagnani & Patricia Moreno. I'm drenched and tired every single time. It's challenging, but do-able and the routines aren't over complicated or confusing. It's a serious kick butt workout that never fails to deliver a serious punch (no pun intended)
Other than that .. Karen Voight isn't half bad, and the Firm gets lots of raves (although I seriously hate them ... to me the workouts are bland/un-exciting and just leave me watching the clock)
Keep in mind too .. if you're getting tired of Billy, the weather is getting nice, and it might be a good time to shake things up, and take your workouts outdoors. You need nothing more than a decent pair of running shoes or cross trainers to throw in a day or two of power walking, hiking or run/walk intervals.
