P90x or Insanity

I've done Insanity and my husband has done P90x, both within the last year. Insanity is more cardio focused, and P90X is more weights with some cardio. We both saw great results with it (my husband was built by the time he was done with it and lost tons of weight, and I lost weight). But both are extremely intense (you'll be dripping in sweat after just the 10 minute Insanity warmup) and require a medium to high degree of fitness to start. I don't think you'll see great results with either if you only do it only 2-3x a week. Both are 6 day a week programs. Insanity is 60 days and p90x is 90 days. Good luck!

Both of those look so great. One day I'm going to try it.

These are EXTREMELY, HEAVY work outs. I think it depends on what level of training you've had. It sounds like you may be able to do both. I would start with P90X. I have friends/family that have done both, but most say to start off with P90X. I'm currently doing the 10minute trainer and in my opinion that's a good workout as well. Good luck!

Neither. Try AthLEAN-X. It's cheaper and you'll still get great results!

Honestly, ANY workout you do regularly along with a good nutrition will have you lose weight. You don't need a fancy gimmick workout. The key is doing a workout you ENJOY so that you are more likely to do it. You could lose weight doing a Zumba tape. What gets you excited?

I'm doing the P90x, but not following their plan, since I'm using the workouts to fill in between running and karate classes. I like the variety of workouts, from really hard to a great stretching session. Most of them take from an hour to an hour and a half per workout. So, a considerable time commitment. This has been somewhat of a deterrent, since I can run 3-4 miles and shower in less than an hour. But, they are hard and effective workouts and I don't regret investing in them (bought them used on Amazon without the book, but that can be bought separately if you choose). You'll also need weights and stretch bands and a mat for the P90x.

I've never tried Insanity, but I made it through 2 months of P90X before morning sickness called a halt to it. I loved P90X. It was hard, but so worth it. I have friends who love Insanity. Basically, P90X has more strength training, and Insanity has more cardio. P90X is 1-1 1/2 hours a day, six days a week (unless you do the stretches on the day off--that's another hour). So it's pretty time-intensive. But you can mix things up. For instance, if you do yoga at the gym, do that yoga instead of the P90X yoga. If you'd rather go for a run/jog instead of doing plyometrics, do that. I know people who blend P90X and Insanity, using the Insanity workouts on the P90X cardio days.

So ultimately, it depends on whether you're after cardio or strength which one you choose.

Oooohhh! I wish I had the courage to do the Insanity...but I am to chicken!

At the gym they run P90X and since you need equipment with it I have bot tried it but I did a few months of insanity (which I too need to get back to!) and loved it You have a set schedule of check points to track your progress, no equipment is needed and you can modify the exercises to fit your fitness level (ie walking pushups-I started with “girl pushups” then pushups before I actually could do the walking pushups) The video’s are no more than 45 min for the first month and you rotate them daily. I never did the results and recovery formula but my body ached for about a month!

Well p90x needed some equipment I couldnt put up. A push up bars and some bands placed high up. My sister gave me insanity and I really liked it.
I did the program and tightened right up. I have had three friends in the last two weeks freak out about my arms, I am happier with my but siting at attention.

Hi M. ~ My girlfriends & I are going to be starting the Pink workout it was featured on the Doctors several weeks ago. https://www.exercise.com/pink-method

My husband and I both did p90x twice. You will need either resistance bands or weights. If you do not have any equipment at home you could use the resistance bands for both the weight portions and the pull up portions. It is intense but if you are doing a bootcamp and yoga I think you should be able to handle it.

My husband is now doing Insanity. He loves it. It will have you sweating in no time. It's pretty much cardio and plyo all the way.

I am currently doing TurboFire. This program has kept me going , it has great music to keep you pushing through, and it is an intense workout as well. Its mostly cardio and plyo with some toning and sculpting days thrown in.

Each program has a general schedule to help you get the best results since it deals with muscle confusion. If you want any further details about any of the BeachBody programs or think you may want to order please feel free to contact me.
