Okay, I just bought Insanity...but I'm still under my spending limit so I'm allowing myself one more workout set. I'm trying to decide between P90X and TurboFire. I've never done ANY BeachBody workouts, just heard about them. So I'm asking for your opinion - with a justification!

Tell me which one you prefer and why! (And if you have a different recommendation, please feel free to include that too - I'm more than open to suggestions)

  • bump, I was considering these too but haven't purchased any. I'd like some insight as well!

    I have done One round of P90X and am now starting Phase 2 (day 30) of a P90X / Insanity Hybrid!

    It really depends on what your overall goal is. If you want to build muscle mass and loose weight (p90x/chaLEAN Extreme), shred fat (Insanity/turbofire)

    There are many programs beach body has to offer as well as other companies. I personally love the P90X/Insanity combo. To me it's the best of both worlds. Check out my pics =)

    From what I've read I would prefer P90 personally. It seems to have a little more about weights and strength training in it. You really don't need a video for cardio, that why we have sidewalks and trails. LOL

    There is a reason they call it "Insanity" !!! Just like P90X is an "Extreme" strength training program, Insanity is an "Extreme" cardio program. They concentrate a lot on circuit training which is out of this world. I sweat with P90X, but with Insanity, I look like I jumped in a pool. (gross I know) =)

    But you are right about P90X. It highlights Resistance more than cardio, but It's cardio is pretty intense too. It's cardio is the ONLY reason I can even half do Insanity =)

    Probably should try the one you have for a week or two before you sink money into something similar.

    I've never tried Insanity, but I love my P90X. Of course, I was more concerned about building lean muscle mass. Don't kid yourself, P90 has some great cardio involved (hello, Plyo and KenPo!)

    I'm hoping to start my next go at it soon, since I was sidelined by an injury at work.

    Bring It :drinker:

    Since you've already got your cardio covered with Insanity, I'd go with P90X for the strength training. Turbofire will seem too easy after Insanity!
