Need Recommendations

I am looking for recommendations. My wife and i began P90X and three weeks into it had an issue that required all of my time away from work for the next five weeks. I recently re-started it and decided to follow a customized version as she does not care about the weight training portion ( I know, I know, I'm working on getting her to integrate this into her workouts) and I do all my weight training at the gym. I am using the Plyo, Cardio X, Ken Po and Core discs and including abs every other day. With two small kids at home and both of us working full time jobs (and occasionally more) it's hard to fit in 60-90 minutes a night to get it done. SO, after all that my question is what else would you recommend as a "program" besides P90X? I have thought about Insanity, but I have a couple bad knees and P90X is about all they can take. I have read the Insanity is worse for your joints than P90X. True? I'm looking to add something or change over to something ASAP, so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

    There is a lot of jumping in Insanity so I wouldn't recommend it for someone with bad knees.

    What she said, almost everything in insanity is jumping or squatting, or squatting while jumping, or jumping and landing in a squat lol not really knee friendly.
