P90X or Insanity? Which Work Out is Better?
Insanity or P90X? Which work out is better?

This is a question that I receive all the time and the truth of the matter is that they are both awesome work outs. If you ask ten different people you will probably get ten different answers based on which work out that particular person liked best. So to say which one is best depends on you and what you like.
Insanity is extreme cardio that focuses on burning a ton of calories and using only your own body weight as resistance. When I say “extreme cardio”, I mean it. Insanity is tough. If this is your first time working out then Insanity is not for you. You probably would not make it past the warm up. If you are looking to burn calories, slim down and tone up and you are already in pretty good shape then Insanity is for you.
P90X on the other hand focuses more on resistance training and building and toning muscle. You do also get some great cardio as well. P90X Plyometrics and P90X Core Synergistics will provide you with some great cardio and then there is also P90X Cardio X and P90X Yoga X to keep your work outs fresh. I feel that P90X will change the way your body looks more than Insanity will because you are working some many different muscles and you are doing more resistance training but this is my opinion.
So, which work out program do I like best? Well, I like them both. I now do a mix of P90X and Insanity together and add in a few One on One work outs as well. Mixing it up keeps working out fun so that is what I try and do.
Basically I would sum it up like this. If you are in good shape and you like extreme cardio then buy Insanity.
If you want more resistance with some cardio then buy P90X. (And yes ladies, you will get awesome results with P90X)
