Insanity or p90x results/ pics??

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

Kenpo is my absolute favorite!

Here are my 30 day results. I'm actually behind on my 60 day picture. I'll try to take it tomorrow:

Alright, this thread got me going on P90X, thanks people! I do have one question, though it might sound odd. How exactly do you go your hardest? I mean, when I'm running I pay attention to my HRM, when I'm lifting weights I lift however much I can to achieve a certain number of reps. But with P90X, well, do you go your hardest at the beginning even if your performance will suffer later on? Do you keep going at a relatively moderate pace? I just finished my first plyometrics, and I mean I was winded throughout, but my legs didn't start to burn. I mean I'm barely strong enough to even do some of the exercises, did anyone start out at that point? Thanks y'all!

Well for me, in order to complete the full workout using proper form the firs few weeks I didn't "go my hardest." I had to pace myself a little bit to be able to finsh the workout (for example chest/back not doing the maximum pushups the first move).

However, after I started to loose the fat build muscle and been on the P90X diet for a while so my body had good fuel I could really push hard in the workouts. Going to the point of failure on each move and still making it through the whole work out.

If you don't figure it out in the first month I wouldn't worry. If during month 2 you still question if you are doing your hardest and "bringing it" then you in my humble opinion you aren't.

bump

I am 51. I'm an Insanity grad. I'm now hitting some P90X. I like them both. They are different but I think Insanity is way harder. Good Luck choosing. I dont think you can go wrong either way.

Hey Congrats!! What meal plan did you follow? I'm doing p90x.

Wow!! Bump!!!

Am thinking doing Insanity!! P90X sounds good too.

Insanity is a lot of cardio and jumping around so it is harder on your knees than p90x. p90x only has one plyometric and jumping workout so it really isnt that tough on your knees

Give me 90 days and I will be BACK to this thread!

I also have the originally TurboFire and LOVE that. My body isn't ready for the Plyo (I know, so out of shape I am), so I plan on subbing the Plyo day for a SuperCharged TurboFire workout (including hand weights).

fantastic, thanks! I was hoping to hear something along those lines.

I am doing Insanity, these are my 3 week comparison and I am currently on week 4. I love Insanity it is crazy but you also do not need any equipment for it which is a plus in my book!

Recently completed P90X about 33 pounds! The top pic is Day 1 (around 27% body fat according to an online calculator) and the bottom is Day 90 (I believe about 16-17% body fat). I just started Insanity yesterday. Best of luck!

You did the MF'in thing.!!! Great results

What time of day does everyone work out? And how did they eat? I have Insanity and I tried it once but was only able to complete about 3 weeks due to a very busy schedule. I did see results though! But I want to try again and I'm afraid of the same thing happening. I also don't want to sabbatoge any of my results by eating badly..

Women who had great results with Insanity or P90X (sorry... not trying to be sexist guys).. what does your nutrition look like? How many calories do you take in daily? Do you eat back your exercise calories? I'm on day 5 of Insanity and want to maximize my results!
