I love KPC and the 4DS kickbox - I'm not a fan at all of KM and the CTX one is okay. Voting for hardest I would go with KPC - I think this is one of my favorite Cathe workouts - it's always a challenge and I feel so great when I get done with it. It's on my workout list for today as a matter of fact. 
I also like Cardio Kicks - I think it's a fun workout and it always seems like its over so quick -- it's an hour, but it never feels like it to me because its fun.

K,P,C was the first Cathe workout I ever did. Now, I have acquired most of her DVD (a little over a year working with her). I LOVE her kickboxing workouts when they are combined into a mish-mosh cardio workout. This is one of the very first creations I made before I even new of these forums where you can grab ideas! This is still one of my favorites and I always seem to come back to it no matter how many other Cathe cardio DVDs I get! Here is the breakdown:
1. K,P,C intermediate + high intensity cardio drills
2. KM blast challenge
3. (original) Boot Camp cardio only premix 2x through
4. K,P,C kicking and punching combos
note: since then, I have added in right behind the boot camp cardio Imax 2 blasts only
(I use the mix & match selection to choose the blasts I want to put in --- blasts 10, 9, 1, 7,3, 8, 9, 8, 3, 7, 1, 9, 10 in that order)
This workout is challenging, yet so fun...afterwards I feel so good!

I like Cardio Kicks the best, love the men in the workout! Also like the 4DS Kickbox alot.
Never have really enjoyed KPC for some reason- I get bored or something... And never liked Kickmax because I cannot do the high impact in that one.
I do however, think that the blasts in KM make this one the hardest of all of Cathe's KB workouts.

I agree that KPC is overall most intense.
KM has an intense blast section (which isn't really that "kickboxy" for the most part), but the intensity of the KB segment is less (partly due to the pivoting moves that I feel reduce the intensity).
4DS is really too short to be that intense. The most intense parts (the faster punches at the end, which I take to fast right away instead of building up to speed) make me feel hopeful about Cathe's future MA endeavors, but they are far too short to make the workout that intense (maybe doubling up the cardio would help?)

Hi all! I definately agree with Kathryn that the "cardio" portion of each of Cathe's KB workouts (K,P,C, KM, and 4DKB) are too short. That is one reason why I have always combined them with others to make the workout longer.
