I'm guessing that rest day is pretty important for your body to recover, but two workouts in one day just may kill me! I refuse to skip a workout to catch up. If I'm gonna say I did this...then I'm gonna do it right, every workout. I'm betting that one of these two choices is better than the other, but I don't have the fitness knowledge to know which is best. anyone?

I wouldn't worry about doubling up or even skipping a workout to get on a schedule that will work for you. Getting the workouts to fit your schedule is much more important in the grand scheme. I've done P90X and some other Men's Health routines, but I've never done insanity. Can you post the routines or a link to the routines? Some of us may be able to help you with a creative way to switch up your schedule, but, after week 3, you won't even remember that you missed a workout.
As far as being able to say you did it once you're done.... Hopefully you'll be saying that you're still doing it. Or maybe you did it & now you're doing some new program or something you've designed yourself. Once you start seeing results in the mirror & felling better, you'll start to crave more. Just keep it fun. The idea is to make exercise a part of your regular routine. If I miss the gym a couple of days in a row, my wife takes the kids & makes me go. She says I get "fussy" if I don't work out.
Also, keep posting in here or in the fitness thread about it. It'll help keep you motivated & focused. It's also fun to read about. Good luck!
