insanity or p90x ??

LOL, someone else posted the exact same thing about 10 minutes ago.

Insanity is mainly cardio, good for burning calories.
P90X incorporate weight training and is good for building strength.

What's your goal?

I've never done insanity just p90x but heard insanity is more cardio than p90x thus you'd probably drop weight more so than building up muscle I'm guessing. P90x has a day or 2 of cardio but focuses more on strength and toning up

I havent done P90X and I love Insanity. With Insanity you do not need equipment and the cycle is 60 days as opposed to 90 days for P90X

I'm normally a very active person that trys a lot of different dvds, activities etc...and I'm on day 9 of P90X and I can already feel changes when I touch my legs and see changes in my upper abdomen. I know that sounds crazy, hope this helps you in your decision!

Hi. I have both P90X and Insanity and have done them both. In my opinion, P90X is slower paced and focuses more on building muscle and strength. Insanity is crazy cardio, and I'm usually in a pool of sweat at the end of it. I have worked out regularly for years (hard, intense workouts) and didn't think any video would measure up to what I was already doing. Insanity is hard and gives me a great workout. The only downside is that the workouts are long, and I have to set aside more time to do them.

I've done Insanity twice and I love it! I had great results, too.

Asa you can see, you will find people in both courts. Really depends on your, what you want. like etc.

I Love P90x, and P90X2.

I lose good inches with P90x every time And every time is still challenging, though I do advanced now, add on weights on all cardio etc, But still have goals to improve on everytime.

I have done it complete many times, classics and doubles - scale weight does not always change as much each round, - depends on many factors there - but clothing size, inch change, tightness , leanness, firmness, strength gains - all changes dramatically . More important then scale numbers on overall body changes.

I actually am about 15 lbs heavier now at my current "goal size" then last time I was at this size 25 years ago. But I look even smaller, tighter, leaner, then I did in my 20s, at same "clothing size". Difference is added muscle, and lower bodyfat vs when I was younger with less muscle.

I personally have the best body composition changes, and fat loss with a combo of strength training with heavy weights, low reps and cardio mixed in.

With Insanity, I would loss to much muscle mass, which I don't want to do. Worked to hard for it, and starting to have great definition, and some carving in abs, legs and arms. Also do not like the knee stress an program of that type would create for me personally.

I have a good amount of muscle mass, and feel P90X is better to build and keep your lean muscle mass, while helping you also loss fat, and rebuild body.

Last round I lost 20 lbs, doing doubles - almost at my goal size now. ( I use other routines for part of extra cardio, or treadclimber)

I have done other workouts with Shawn T, thought not Insanity. But have seen it complete, and am familiar with it.

I have also done Rushfit also.

I do both. I like parts of each. My hubby did P90X and then did Insanity. He lost alot of muscle mass that he gained from P90X doing just straight cardio. By doing both you will acheive both. Now granted you wont gain tons of mass but I would run a small caloric deficit to lean out, not too much just enough to get the job done. Also, doing weights will increase your testosterone levels which helps with weight loss.

Good luck!

My goal is to lose weight, so I think Insanity is best. I have tried both and Insanity is a lot of cardio. It doesn't really work your upper body though, so you should throw in some weights in your free time if you choose Insanity.

Thanks for this! Planning to start p90x saturday!

I really like insanity. I chose it because I did not need to purchase any extra equipment in order to complete the program. Also the workouts are a bit shorter so it is easier to fit into my lifestyle.
