has anyone tried p90x or insanity workouts??

YES I have done some of both. at my current weight, I'm not really able to push myself through them completely but that is my Friday home workout. I like insanity because I don't have to use anything but me. They are pretty tough & awesome.

They're both very good. I just pick and choose the work outs. You get results if you stick to it - that's the hard part... I'll do Inanity when I need more of a challenge from P90X.

I checked P90x out, but I thought it was a little too advanced for my fitness level, plus I didn't want to mess around with any pullup bar or weights. One of my friends downloaded and burned me a copy of the INSANITY. I tried the FIT TEST one night and MAN was I SUPER TIRED! I really want to get back into though and finish at least one 90 day period of it and see what results I get. If anyone wants to start INSANITY, let me know and maybe we can be buddies and motivate each other.

I have done both......Personally I prefer Insanity, but I love my cardio.

P90x workouts are longer, 3 days are strength training, and opposite days are cardio, then there is Yoga x which is absolutely no joke, but really long. The workouts are an hour, except Yoga X which is 90 min. I didn't have much weight loss during P90x, but did lose inches. For me it is just too time consuming. P90x is a 90 day program. My husband and teenage son LOVE p90x.

Insanity is 60 days. The workouts do not require anything other than yourself (though I would suggest a great pair of shoes) They are shorter. I lost weight doing Insanity. If you like cardio then I would go this route. I really like the fit test, it is great to see how you are improving throughout the program.......

i have a friend who's husbad goaded the whole family into doing it. and amazingly enough the marrige is still strong lol. they were please with the outcome. though the family was a fit and active one to begin with so there were no 'startling' results veiwable from the outside, have thought of doing something like that but between the outlay of my house 3dog, 2 cats and child i have found it impossibe to do anything at home.

I have tried both of these programs. Right now I'm on month 2 of Insanity where the workouts average about 50 minutes. Both have great qualities. Insanity is more cardio based and you use your own body as your 'gym'. P90x is great for building lean muscle and toning up. I'm glad I did P90x first as the cardio is not as intense and when I started I probably would have been a little gun shy about the intensity of Insanity. Now I love it. Just depends on what you're looking for. Insanity definitely (in my experience) has a higher calorie burn than P90x but P90x is a great balance between strength training and adding in cardio.

Ive done them both and they are both great! Right now I'm doing Asylum, which is the sequel to Insanity, and its only 30 days. It also comes with a calendar for Insanity and P90X hybrids! It just depends on what you want. If you love cardio it's gotta be Insanity or Asylum. If you want all around fitness, which I would recommend do P90X. There are 3 versions. The folks who thought it was hard may have been doing the classic version. There is a lean version, which substitutes cardio or lighter workouts for some of the resisitence workouts. So theoretically its not as hard. I did the classic 3 times and the first time through I lost 25 lbs and 4 inches off my waist. I did stick with their diet plan which I would highly recommend also. I had good results doing it their way, not my own as far as food goes. Too many people do the workouts and it doesn't go how they want and complain that it didnt work. Well, if you aren't gonna do their diet plan, you're not really doing P90X or Insanity. Hope that helps.

What are the costs for each one?

if u can get just a copy of px90 stretch... it's amazing.

Does anyone know what equipment you need for P90X? I've been thinking about it, but don't have room for any equipment really.
