I ordered P90X and will cut my teeth on it before I consider Insanity.

I checked out the INSANITY deal, but decided to go with the SANITY version instead which I really liked. Basically, you just sit in a chair with a cigar and a single malt and nod your head slightly to the Machine Head album.

Insanity is just stupid. Real athletes cannot do that work. P90X is the best workout (that's not boot camp related) you'll get.
I've been doing a lot of spin classes at the gym. Matter fact on my way now. Lose weight feel great. |

Means were are talking INSANITY.... INSANITY is weak shit compared to CrossFit
Our Baseball and Football coach encourage us to do CrossFit workouts after school with them during offseason if we aren't do any other sports... Pretty much a insane workout that is all about reps, speed, and basics... It is a timed workout. There are competitions but they are very very insane. There are CrossFit workouts for beginners out on the interwebs somewhere if you really care to try it out... You need a gym though.. |

I am hearing conflicting opinions in this thread so I will ask: I have access to both P90X and Insanity (my neighbor has both and said I can borrow them). I am out of shape, low on energy, and about 270 pounds. Both workouts terrify me with how tough they are. But I need to exercise to lose weight and improve my health (I am a diabetic, so I need to lose the belly). Which workout best accomplishes this without killing me? I know neither one of these are going to be easy, and I will be sucking some serious wind for awhile just to make it through.

If you wanna burn fat and get your heart in shape then do Insanity. It is insane, but don't let it get to you. The idea is to keep moving. You don't have to keep up with their reps. You won't be able to. Just keep moving at whatever pace you can. That's the whole idea.
The good thing about Insanity, too, is that it's only 45 min. P90X is generally at least an hour to an hour and half. Just remember to pace yourself. During the warmup he'll be telling you to do as many as you can. Don't get all excited and really try to do as many as you can, because you'll be done after the first few exercises. Just take your time, keep moving, and it really does work. You'll burn fat faster than anything else you do, and you'll be in the best shape of your life. Once you're in shape and want to start building muscle you could either add P90X to your daily routine or just switch to it and stop doing Insanity. |

Thank you gentlemen for the advice. I think I will start off with Insanity and see what happens. Not going to worry about maximum reps, just going to try to keep moving and finish, and see where it lands. I imagine that the longer I keep with it, the better I will be. |

Want to lose weight? Eat less. It's that simple.

You are exactly right about the time issue too. P90x drives me nuts with the hour or longer workouts. I burn out from boredom after I hit 35-40 minutes. I just don't enjoy workouts. Never have. I do them out of necessity only. |
