    I say if it's something that you don't like then stop and go find a program that you do like and want to do! I have P90X, but couldn't get into it, so it's just sitting on my shelf... However, I do love Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme! :)

    I liked INSANITY but found P90X BORING! I couldn't get into it. I love Turbo Fire!

    But if it's not something that you like doing you won't stick with it.

    I just wanna say that P90X is a lot slower paced than INSANITY so if you're bored with that, IDK if you'll like P90X or not! Maybe you just need to switch things up instead of doing the same program everyday?!

    I will say, save it for the future, just in case you may want to do it again.
    And will really recommend Turbo Fire, it's so much fun!!!!

    P90X is a little boring but an excellent workout. Currently I'm doing a hybrid of the 2 programs. Nothing boring about it, it is kicking my *kitten*.

    It's only a 60 day program. I say finish what you started and keep it because you never know if you might have an interest in it later.

    Do not buy a DVD, go to the gym! DVD's are way to boring for me same old thing but different day if you go to the gym you can do different machines, weights or classes every day.

    If you bought it through Beachbody you have a 100% guarantee to return it and get your money back.

    If you are bored with Insanity I am guessing your fitness level is good. P90X is a great program and it has more variety. But it is more strength. I agree about Turbofire - its my favorite and very very fun!

    I have heard a lot of people getting bored with P90X. One of my friends did it and got very bored as well. I finished INSANITY and I'm doing Turbo Fire. I like Turbo Fire more....it's just more FUN to me!

    I do a dvd when I can't get to the gym. I have p90x and insanity and some other random ones. I like having them available and options. I say keep it.

    Yeah sure and you end up spending $60-$80 bucks a month. Not to mention you have to drive to and from. Oh and surely they will hit you with the sign fees!

    I spent about $160 on signup fee and another like $300 just for a membership at the local Y. I had to sign a contract and a bunch of other BS. I finally realized what a waste of money it was and just bought P90X. Cost me $120 upfront and I've been using it since Jan. I mix it up with Asylum, Insanity and running to keep things interesting.

    There are perks to going to the gym. I still have my gym membership to run on the treadmill a couple of times a week, but it's costing me $30 per month. I have found that working out at home allows me to:

    * get a great lifting workout in my socks.
    * workout at home while my kids are still asleep
    * saves on getting sick from stranger's germs
    * saves on gas

    I have P90X, Power 90, Insanity, Brazil Butt Lift, Asylum, and even 30 Day Shred. Boredom does not set in.

    Obviously you need to find another gym or go enjoy the great outdoors to workout. The gym I go to has no sign up fees and and is $30 a month. Be a gym shopper, the Y is usually very expensive, is that really the only gym near you? The Y also will do memberships based on your income. Glad you like DVD's but I find repetitiveness soooo boring

    I think if you are bored with it, you should get rid of it. I sold mine for two reasons 1) I have weak knees and it was hard, and 2) It was sooo painfully boring after awhile. Once I quit that, I found an exercise I do like and have lost much more weight without feeling like I'm trying too hard =]

    I would hold on to Insanity incase you want to do it again later.

    I mix up my workouts quite a bitI workout 5-6 days a week alternating between going to the gym and doing DVD's at home. Obiviously if you follow the Insanity program then it's 60 days of doing it but after that mix it up and you find it more fun thats I do I have several different DVD's and I do different ones everytime, then when I do Insanity I dot hat for the 60n days and nothing else except maybe some walking/jogging/running.

    Yep - I do an Insanity/Turbofire hybrid and it is lots of fun compared to just straight days of Insanity and its more challenging than doing just Turbofire by itself.
