    Are you looking to lose weight or get tone? Insanity workout i like a lot better then p90x. Insanity is more for losing weight i think.

    Love it! each work out is roughly 60 mins long with Yoga X going 90 mins, 6 days a week.

    Pull-up bar, dumbbells or resistance bands, yoga mat and block, heart rate monitor, recovery shake for afterwards.

    Everyone is different and has a different level of dedication. You will get out of it what you put into it.

    Hope this helps,
    Stu

    Everything they said. The time requirement seems like a lot, but once you start doing it, it's not that long. As for the results, in the year that I've been doing it on and off I've lost 45 lbs. As for for the sole 90 days of the program, when I stuck it through from beginning to end without missing a workout and eating right, I dropped 25 lbs in three months and finally have abs for the first time ever. So, yeah... it works and is most definitely not a gimmick.

    Hello...I'm in the process of gathering the equipment to start next week. I have just the simple stuff on order...pull up bar and resistance bands. You can get by with just those. If you don't want resistance bands you can buy some adjustable dumbells. I have a lot of friends and co-workers that have done it or have tried it. some say the time commitment made them stop...others said it's too tough and some have made it through. The time commitment is about an hour a day just for the workouts. If you go for the intense training you can do one morning workout and one evening workout. I'm just trying the Lean program. Basically the Lean program will help you lose weight and tone your body. They highly recommend the diet plan along with the workouts. The diet plan has helped me. I'm not following it in detail but it helped be lose 16 lbs in the past 3 weeks by eating right and cutting out the junk! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be "Bringing it" starting next week. :happy:

    I do the lean program. And I wouldn't say it's different all together. It utilizes the same DVDs just more cardio ones than muscle. I chose this one because I read alot of posts and notes on the internet about it being a good place to start for women who were looking to lose weight. Just my humble opinion.

    What we are calling the Lean program is included in P90X. There are 12 DVDs with different workouts on each. All 12 DVDs work with and for all three programs, you just do different DVDs at diferent times. The 3 programs are Classic, Doubles and Lean. Lean has you concentrating on Stretching, Cardio, Yoga, Kenpo and resistance band work. Check out the website for more info and watch the videos.
