Insanity or p90x results/ pics??

I've done both (no pics, sorry!), and I find that Insanity is better to amp up your cardio, while P90x is a better strength tool. Don't get me wrong, you still get great cardio workouts with P90X (Cardio X, Plyometrics, etc.) and vice versa with Insanity (Cardio Power & Resistance). I definitely saw more muscle definition after P90x, and my cardio is definitely getting a kick in the pants with Insanity. You could do a hybrid workout to get the best of both worlds! They are both pretty extreme workouts!! Good luck to you!

I just started insanity, Im on day three!!!... and you know what I feel pretty good, sore (THE BOTTOMS OF MY FEET ARE SORE), but I feel different, its most likely the endorphins pumping through my body because im not sure if you can feel a change in just three days... lol... but either way Iam enjoying it, I cant do all the exercises yet but at least i try them and i do it to the best of my ability... Girl, i think whatever program you choose will do you nothing but good, it's all up to you to want to do it!!!!...

I'm on day 35 of p90x and I love it!!! I haven't drop much weight but I'm gettIng more toned!!

I Love Insanity and p90x I have done 3 rounds of insanity and one of p90x. I have also done a round of turbofire which I loved as well. This was over a year of work. With insanity I did not lose much weight I did however get a lot of definition, i lost most of my weight with turbofire.

Nice before and after

Ok here is the thing!
With INSANITY you don't use weights, ONLY your body weight! you lose pounds and you are getting tight EVERYWHERE. It helps to boost your metabolism and it stays that way for a looong time (if you don't pig out)
With P90X you use weights, you get more muscles, BUT if you quit you gonna go back and I'm afraid you'll get a worse body So you have to do it all your life I guess,,,, BUT you will see results really quick and you will get bulky. So it's your decision.

My husband and I chose INSANITY, he lost 30 pounds, I lost 17. It was the best decision ever. I just dont like weights cuz I used to do that and after I quit my hands were so flabby like of an old woman ewww. plus, We stopped INSANITY like 2 months ago but I still got my tight body plus the crazy metabolism. My picture is the result of INSANITY and my husband is in my friends Airman42 you can have a look. GOOD LUCK with whatever u choose!!!

I disagree with this! I haven't used Insanity yet, and I believe its a great program so I am not knocking it at all! But I disagree with the "you will bulk up" and "have to use it forever, or you go back to a worse body" Gaining muscle is a GOOD thing. Especially for definition and to shape your body. Not to mention you burn way more, for way longer with muscle. You will NOT "bulk" up doing P90X. You will tone and define. Bulking up would take crazy amounts of weights, reps and gaining weight. It doesn't happen that way. If you ever see the videos, all the females on it have done P90X till the cows came home and they are in NO WAY bulky.

This

I'd like to add one thing. These Video's are great for dropping Weight, but they will not Build enough Muscle to Shape your body. At first they might, but will quickly plateau. Unless you add some sort of resistant training along with enough protein. Ones Body shape wont change much.

Not trying to take away from the 100's of Before and After Pic's... But many of them look sick and weak. Very few look Strong, Toned and in shape. They might be skinny, but it's the wrong kind of Skinny. IMO (But still better then being over weight)

I also lifted weights 3 days a week and ate 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass. I did not lose much muscle while doing the program

I have both, and I've tried both, and I feel like they are two completely different workouts.

Insanity is great for cardio and getting lean, while P90x is more weights and muscle building.

Pros
Insanity - workouts vary, no equipment needed, high intensity
P90X - awesome if you want to learn more about strength training, and you're looking to build muscle (not nec. bulk up), P90X Ab Ripper X is fantastic, and even when I'm not doing a beachbody program I still come back and do abs once a week

Cons
Insanity - Very high impact, if you have back or knee problems insanity will be extremely difficult. It kills my back
P90X - I found difficult to do unless I wrote it down and did it on my own at the gym with a variety of weights, with just the weights I had at home some exercises were way to easy and some way to hard.

Overall I prefer insanity, even though it's hard on my back.

I did 70 out of the 90 days of P90X. Sadly on day 71 I aggravated a pre existing injury and I haven't started over P90X yet.

Comparing day 60 to day 1:
weight lost -17.4 lbs or -8.2%
body fat % lost -7.8 percent or a decrease of -28.9%
Chest lost -1.375 inches or -3.3%
waist (narrowest part) lost -2.125 inches or -5.6%
hips (biggest part of butt) lost -1.375 inches or -3.2%
R thigh lost -2.125 inches or -8.6%
L Thigh lost -1.625 inches or -6.8%
R Bicep lost -0.375 inches or -2.6%
L Bicep lost -0.25 inches or -1.8%

I noticed the biggest gains starting around week 5 or 6. I felt like my results were increasing at an exponential rate during the program.

LOL. Just incase you think these programs dont build muscle in a sustainable manner. This is my coach, Wayne Wyatt. He achieved this with nothing but P90X and P90X2. Just saying.

Insanity is mostly cardio and will mainly help you lose weight and gain endurance/strength. From what I've gathered, P90X is a more complete workout: the cardio is not as intense as Insanity, but the program will help you build muscle faster than Insanity. So as a rule of thumb, pick Insanity if you want a lean body like that of a sprinter, and P90X if you mostly want a muscular body.

I'm on week 3 of Insanity and getting very noticeable results in strength and endurance, also lost 4 pounds.

I am thinking about trying Insanity or p90x and was wondering what kind of results pople have gotten with the programs. Please post pics or just numbers is fine.

P90X after 3 weeks only!!!

Bump! I need motivation to pop in Kenpo X and the other DVDs. Sigh. I would have finished my first round next week too! Ugh.

Im doing P90X right now, started before but stopped, going strong for now! But I also had issues with Kenpo..if you dont like it you can always sub and do Cardio X to get a cardio workout in if you wanted. Im might do that
