So I just finished up Insanity and did pretty well with it. I am still around 20ish pounds from my ultimate goal and wanted to try p90x. I did the first day today (I'm doing classics, today was chest and back, with Ab ripper X). I noticed I didn't really sweat much at all. With Insanity my clothes were dripping and I was exhausted. I feel the burn but I'm wondering if I will lose weight with this program or if I should have done another round of Insanity? Opinions are appreciated :)

    P90X is going to involve more lifting (although you will be sweating when you do Plio and Yoga, trust me). But the emphasis is on lifting correctly within a time frame. The lifting will help build muscle, and this will assist in your goals as long as calorie moderation is involved. You'll also find that some workout s will stress you more than others. Make sure that you have the right weights (Lifting to failure in the 5-10 range) and focus on good form throughout. You'll be impressed with the changes in your physique, and you'll see a real difference if you are managing calories along the way.

    I completed P90X on June 1st. I lost over 30 pounds in 90 days. One June 3rd I started Insanity. I agree that Insanity is more much intense and sweaty then P90X.

    P90X will work your muscles which will definitely help shred fat away. I also did the classic P90X. The Plyo and Kenpo are good cardio workouts but nothing compared to Insanity. I would stick with P90X and listen to Tony. You body will change. I am thinking of doing a hybrid next of P90X and Insanity.

    I just started P90X a week ago after completing Insanity. Finding it very very slow.
