    I just finished my first week of insanity and I love it! I tried 30DS but I thought it was pretty boring and not very challenging for me.

    Insanity is top notch for cardio and will get you leaned out in no time! Even if you have to stop and take breaks you still get a killer workout

    P90X rules - here's why:
    1) Incorporates strength (weights) along with cardio, core and interval
    2) There is the P90X "plus" module available that allows you to add a 3rd round after you plateau
    3) P90X plus incorporate peak interval + strength (like insanity)
    4) Tony Horton is a machine and a great instructor

    Insanity looks pretty intense but I will not be bothering with it - here's why
    1) No strength/muscle growth training (weights)
    2) I have at least 3 friends (in pretty good shape) who have suffered impact injuries on their knees and ankles from insanity - no thanks!

    Here's my take:

    Insanity: LOVE IT!! The cardio is intense and you end up drenched in sweat! Shaun T is a brilliant instructor and you feel very accomplished once your done. It has helped me develop into a runner as well (a BIG deal for someone who could never run more than 200 meters!). It builds some strength using your own body weight but if strength is your main goal, I'd probably use this as your 'cardio' day.

    P90X: I'm currently in phase 3 and will finish at the end of this month. Fantastic for building strengthalthough after insanity, I find the cardio workouts a little lacking. However, if strength is your goal, this will support it more than insanity.

    Either way, make sure you're choosing a workout that is safe for you to do!

    Hope it helps :flowerforyou:

    Get both and you get the best of both worlds. I am doing a hybrid of P90X/Insanity which gives you the lifting days of P90X and the cardio of Insanity. I have done P90X, P90X2, and Insanity and combining them is definitely giving me the best results I have seen from all of them. If you would like the schedule I am following, add me and I will get it to you.

    My friends who suffered injuries from just doing Insanity did the same thing - and they are very happy with their results. They sub in the insanity workouts on the P90X cardio days. Good suggestion

    How are you guys logging Insanity???
    For someone with knee injuries you can modify exercises and you do need to know your body and limits.

    Insanity all the way.

    I think I logged it as high impact aerobics or something like that. I generally wear a HRM and log it manually though since it gets my heart rate up so high.

    ^^^I use a Polar HRM with a chest strap and log it as cardio.

    That said, I love Insanity. Incredible calorie burn.

    I don't "log" workout son here. I have a set amount of calories I hit every day and don't worry about logging the exercise, because if you log it throws of your main goal and its harder to add everything up. If you are doing the insanity workouts every day you don't need to worry about eating too much if you no where you are supposed to be at. I'm at 2000 calories right now and I hit that every day no matter which workout I do.

    Here's the American Council on Exercise in depth review of Insanity and P90x (as well as something called Rushfit.) Some of the criticism of Insanity (excerpted below) has kept me from trying the program. I would definitely advise that you read the whole article- it is incredibly thorough.

    "His lack of scientific knowledge is clearly evident in his instructional inconsistencies and coaching miscues."
    "Utilizes numerous exercises, but many exercises are indistinguishable from each other."
    "High plyometric volume, lack of biomechanical coaching and knowledge, lack of understanding of energy pathways (i.e., appropriate work-to-recovery ratios) mean this program increases the risk of excessive fatigue, compromised technique, muscle soreness and possible injury."
    "Lack of foundational science knowledge (physiology and kinesiology) evident in coaching cues; regularly overlooks biomechanical mistakes."
    "Incorrect identification of muscle function (e.g, role of core, stretching hip flexors)"
