    I haven't done the P90X or Insanity but my home boy has done em both and said that the insanity one is much harder than the P90X and if you're not in top shape you'll have a hard time with both of them but more so with the Insanity.

    If you're not in good shape go for the regular Power90 and then graduate to P90X then Insanity. But my boy got crazy results though he lost weight on power90 gained a little bit of muscle and gained more muscle and leaned and cut up on P90X. So I guess it does work.

    Ive done both (not all the way thru..i got ADD)

    insanity...is the hardest cardio ever put on DVD. its cardio based..a little resistance but every workout will get u sweating buckets

    p90x is more muscle building. It has a cardio video and yoga and ? but its mainly weight/resistance training.

    depending on your goals you should choose one to do first. theyre both very tough though.

    Insanity will help you tone/get cut because its all body weight strength and cardio training.

    P90X will help build more muscle because it focuses more on strength training with resistance and weights.

    In a nutshell if you want to lose weight or inches, Insanity will get you there faster but P90X will pack on some muscle.

    I'm leaning towards Insanity. I need to lose a couple pounds so a heavy cardio work is a must.
    I have burned copies and it looks intense but to my understanding the workouts are shorter & its 60 days vs 90.

    If i make it through I'll ? with 90x to tone up, but I dont know anyone that has been able to complete the 90x to date.

    I brought Insanity a few weeks ago and I burned p90x from a friend. I'm gonna do P90x first cause honestly, I took one look at the Insanity workouts and said to myself "I'm not ready for this yet". So I'll do P90x then graduate to Insanity. All in the process of getting my fat ass in shape. Summer of 2012 will be mine!

    P90 works muscle building and cardio for leaning up. Insanity is a lot of plyo work and intervals. Depends on your goals. I say do p90 first and then Insanity to add to the muscle confusion theory.
