    There are a lot of opinions on this here if you want to use the forum search function. :smile:

    Did both. I like P90X waaaay more.

    P90X:
    Tony Horton is more entertaining than Sean T
    Workouts are more sustainable, and easier to modify if needed
    More variety
    Better muscle definition
    Requires had weights or bands and pullup bar

    INSANITY
    Better cardio burn
    No equipment needed
    Not as good muscle definition
    For me personally, not as much weight loss
    Definitely harder workouts, I felt almost sick towards the end, even after 60 days
    I'm not a fan of Sean T, I don't like the military-style of someone yelling at you to do more.

    Both are good, but I've started P90X six times, and only did Insanity once.

    I find it funny Sean T is so military in Insanity because in my Hip Hop Ab workouts he is almost hilariously funny. In addition, he is quite feminine and makes me wonder if he likes men the way I do with some of the things he says! He cracks me up and keeps me motivated in the Hip Hop Abs DVDs no problem. I think Insanity would be WAY weird for me. :P

    I think it depends on what you are looking for.

    I did both. I find Sean T more entertaining than Tony Horton. Tony's voice bores the heck out of me for some reason. P90X involves using weights, chin-up bars, exercise bands, etc. I prefer the simplicity of Insanity. I couldn't finish P90X because it was so boring. but I finished Insanity and keep going back to Insanity when I need to work out from home. My husband likes both equally.

    Have fun!

    I haven't done P90x, but I've done Insanity twice and REALLY want The Asylum! I love it! It is a total butt kicking workout. I have no problem modifying things if I need to, and Shaun T's "yelling" actually pushes me more than if it were some peppy cheerleader. When he's up there panting and sweating yelling "PUSH! PUSH!", it makes me want to really bust it out! I love it! :)

    Edit: I lost 10 pounds during my first round as well. :)

    Ive got my before and after p90x photos on my profile, it was fantastic for me. May consider doing insanity after my nephew is done with it. Open to friend requests

    Is that just from one round? I must say, you look amazing! Congratulations! :)
