P90X or P90x2

Hey MFP's was thinking of starting Insanity 2mmrw but my ankle issues made me rethink and am sticking with P90X for now but was wondering about which one to do the original or the X2 ? Any Comments or suggestions would be great and also if anyone is looking forward to start and keep track of each other would be more than happy to have some company !

    I thought P90x2 was a lot easier than p90x. My hubby loves insanity but I found it too hard on my back. If u are in good enough shape to enjoy insanity, I think you'll be more inspired by p90x.

    Lol I thought X2 should be better the only reason why I was looking into it was for the 5day program instead of 6 my weekends are usually long work hours so figured X2 might fit in perfect...ya I was able to go with Insanity for 2-3 weeks before my ankle gave up haven't tried it again and not planning to since I have had some trouble with my ankle but thanks will probably see through the exercise before I start working out with P90... thanks for the input

    Depends on your goals....If you want to gain a lot of mass than I'd say stick with P90X. I just finished P90X2 and loved it but it is more about becoming and athlete and working your connective muscles. It is great though! You really can't go wrong with any of the programs. Let me know if you need any help!
