    you need to do Insanity...it works your core all the time

    How about some core working program? INSANITY? JM 30DS?

    Stupid stubborn belly fat. I do lots of different forms of crunches every single day. Gotta get rid of excess belly, love handles, and moobs! Takes time.

    Thanks yall.. Has anyone tried Insanity vs P90X? I guess I'll have to break down and buy it.. Lol

    I am going to do P90X beginning in August.

    I was up in the air between Insanity and P90x. I was basically told by a coach that Insanity is more hardcore cardio and P90x has the strength along with the cardio days. If you are looking to shed weight and burn tons of calories I would choose Insanity. I chose P90x because I want the cardio but I also want to tone up and gain strength.

    Plus I have trouble with my left knee (old basketball injuries). Some of the Insanity workouts I am unsure I would be able to do them full on energy, based on what I have seen on the infomercials and videos.

    I think you look pretty darn great right now actually. How tall are you?

    I really like Turbo Fire for what it's done for my abs. It's a little less intense than Insanity. BUT if you are already in really good cardio shop, Insanity might be the way to go.
  • I LOVE your body!! You look so feminine and healthy! :heart: That said, though, have you done any Pilates? They are insanely good for working and slimming your core. Also, make sure you're eating as little sugar as possible. :smile:

    I would also recommend P90X. I am in my last five weeks and I LOVE IT. Who knew I'd like to do push ups until I can't hold myself up anymore...

    The first 30 I lost an inch off waist and boobage area, half an inch of each thigh, nothing off arms. I will measure again this weekend for the 60ish day mark. I am actually turning it into P120X.
