Right before I got pregnant with my now one year old, I successfully completed P90X losing 70 pounds. I'm now ready to hit a workout program like that again, but I'm undecided on whether I want to do P90x2 or Insanity, as those are the programs I currently own just haven't done. I'm going to look into both further before I decide, but I'm curious what opinions are here.... So...
Decisions, decisions....
Should I do P90x2 or Insanity, or P90x2 and then Insanity?

    As a dad of a 10 month old, I quite like insanity max 30 cos it's all done in 30 minutes, whereas the original insanity is 40-60 minutes per video, and that extra time is so important to me to get everything done. I've never tried p90x or p90x2, although I've heard great things about them, but time might be a factor that's worth considering.

    Depends on what you want to do really. P90X2 is more for strength and muscle building. Insanity is more for the cardio. Both are great programs. Like kicknoley said if time is also an issue you may want to look at Max 30 and then also at P90X3 it is also only 30 minutes.

    I did about half of inanity and hated every minute of it. All cardio, but the upside is you don't need any equipment, which is not a problem for me. I own all kinds of fitness paraphernalia already. I had to stop after it exacerbated an old shoulder injury and gave me patellar tracking disorder from all the jumping/running/sports moves. I never had any knee problems before. My endurance is definitely better after even doing half, but after 5 weeks, I'm still recovering from the injuries. P90x2, I love though! Just finished phase 1, modifying some of the jumping for my now bad knee. It works almost like physical therapy for my insanity injuries ha ha It's tons of balance combined with resistance and some lifting, which I've always loved. I still balk at starting the workout sometimes, but they go by quickly.
