Insanity or P90X opinions please

It's not terrible to take a week off if you watch your nutrition. Just pick up where you left off. Insanity would probably be better for this, but depends on what you want to do and what your goals are.

Right, so basicly right now im doing the 30 day shred...I want to do more, I dont feel like its enough and was maybe t hinking about getting something like insanity or p90x....but I go on holiday in about 30 days - So would stopping the insanity or p90x workouts for a week matter much? Or should i do something else along side the 30 day shred?

Im clueless and need opinions

First, I would do P90X before Insanity. Second, stopping a week, won't matter much. Just pick up where you left off. Third, it'll take about a week for you to get your program anyway, so that would put your holiday at about the Recovery week. If you need any help please let me know.

I kinda like P90 X. But you need to have enough room. You do need a resistance band with handles at least and some weights. Which isn't bad. I have a pull up bar but I did the easy version and used the band for my pull ups. It does take an hour a day. I usually work out while my toddler is napping... I stopped P90x cuz I have to move a zillion toys out of the way in order to do them, so I got tired of that. I now do Zumba about 4 days a week and then run 3 days a week and about once a week I throw in one P90 X routine, just to mix it up and so it will keep my body guessing. You should try Zumba.. it is awesome! I did like P90X cuz you are doing something diff. every day verses the same thing over and over. But it is hard, so if you do try it, don't be discouraged if you can't do it all. When I started we could only do about half of each video. Within 2 wks we were able to do it all! Good Luck hope you have fun!!

I'd vote for Insanity since its a super intense Cardio workout. Be prepared to WORK, because it is serious. My only problem with Insanity is that I need to stop so often to catch my breath, that I feel like I'm not getting a big enough calorie burn. Have you tried the Biggest Loser DVD's? I've started back up on those to switch my workout around and forgot how much I enjoyed them.

I've done both. Personally, I love Insanity and love P90x.

If you want a quick workout that pushes your stamina, while rapidly burning calories then Insanity it great, but keep in mind there are NO breaks. Yes, there are 30 sec between each set, but thats only long enough to drink water and check your heart rate. You will burn anywhere from 300-1000 calories in a day. Each day is anywhere from 37 min to 1.5 hours (this is only on the day that you do a MAX INTERVAL training and the fit test on the same day). You will build a little muscle, but will burn a lot calories. I've lost about 7-8 pounds so far (keep in mind, that I've never been bigger than a size 2, so weight loss is usually a lot more than that).


I have done P90x TWICE. P90x has plenty of breaks that are also longer, but is also anywhere from an hour to 1.5 hours. You will build more muscle on P90x, but the scale doesnt move as much. I honestly lost no weight, but my body had more definition and I am stronger than I have ever been.

I suppose it depends on the person. I say, if you are planning to shed the fat, then Insanity...If you are trying to get better definition and build muscle, then P90x.

On a side note- Now that I am doing Insanity and shedding the excess fat, I am beginning to see the 6 pack that P90x gave me. I didnt even know it was back there until the fat started to go away.
