Completed Insanity - what next?

Hey
So I completed Insanity at the start of December and have been doing month 2 workouts ever since, normally 3 times a week but that was around Christmas so my plan now is to start doing them 5/6 days a week. However I'm worried my body might be getting "used" to the workouts and therefore they may not be as effective anymore. What are people's thoughts on this?
I thought perhaps instead I should move onto a new workout like Asylum or P90X? My goals are to maintain the insanity level of fitness and continue to lose body fat (put some lbs back on over xmas) so not sure if those 2 are more aimed towards proper muscle building which I'm not too fussed about and therefore might not be appropriate for me.
Any advice is much appreciated thanks!

I believe P90X incorporates more strength training, and from what I can tell from Google, Asylum has one strength video as well. I think it just depends on your goals. Maybe look up some videos on YouTube and try to see which one would suit you best? Personally, I'm planning on doing TurboFire after I finish Insanity, which is also more cardio-intensive. Congrats on finishing Insanity and good luck in whatever you choose to do next!

You're not going to be "building muscle" at a calorie deficit. That being said, I can understand being concerned that the Insanity moves are no longer leading to increased strength and wanting to change things up. P90X incorporates a lot more equipment, so it will probably be easier to continue a progressional overload on your muscles to continue getting stronger. (I, personally, could never do P90X because I know I won't make the time commitment required and I don't care much for Tony Horton)
I don't have much knowledge of Asylum, so hopefully someone else can speak to that for you.
I tried doing TurboFire after my first round of Insanity and felt a bit disappointed after all the power moves of Insanity (even though I love Chalene, and the TF workouts are pretty fun!).
Good luck!0
