    I always recommend doing Insanity first then P90X. Insanity is cardio intensive and it will burn the fat you have and then do a round of P90X to build up and tone the muscles.

    Also, Insanity doesn't require any special equipment, just a good pair of shoes and a heart rate monitor.

    I am currently doing a hybrid of the two.

    It depends on what kinds of workouts you prefer. If you like bodyweight resistance training and more cardio, then go for Insanity. If you prefer free weights and less cardio, go for P90X.

    You can, and will, lose a great deal of fat eating at a calorie deficit on either program. I've lost 10 pounds in 1 month doing P90X...but a year later, I was able to say the same about Insanity.

    Or you could do both together. I love hybrid programs. I like to do P90X weight DVDs on Mon, Wed, Fri and then Insanity cardio on Tues and Sat leaving Thurs as my yoga day.
