    Sorry if this is a repost, but has anyone ever done the Insanity Videos, which I understand are similar to P90x? If so, how did you like them? What kind of fitness level were you before you did them? I'm thinking about ordering them. Thanks!

    it'll work if you put in the effort and eat correctly, but that goes for pretty much anything

    most people can't do that though

    ess knows a lot about the programs and so do I. Ive done 3 rounds of p90x and am in my second week of insanity. Ess is further along in insanity then I am. They are very different programs. The X is a great program imo its ideal for people who are in ok-good shape that need to drop 10-15 lbs and tone up. It is not a weight loss program. I mean if youre heavy you will lose weight with it but its ideal for people who want to tone up. It is also not a mass building program. You will build lean muscle but if you are small and want to bulk up a gym where you can constantly up your weights is more ideal. The x is an overall fitness program that will challenge you if you are not in ideal shape.

    Insanity is different. I came straight off of 3 rounds of x and in relatively good shape. Insanity is straight high intense cardio. Its tough. I had to take breaks in the first week but have already seen improvement in the second week. Shit the people in the video take breaks. I am doing insanity because I want to blast the last of the fat I have and it is working. It is definitely not for those that arent in good shape.

    Its all about what you want to achieve. They are both great programs but in my opinion I would do p90x, then do insanity, then do a hybrid of the two.

    It works. But so does everything else. If you exercise hard the right way and eat well that will work for you. The greatest thing of p90x is it lays it all out there you dont have to do anything just show up.

    You could design any overall effective fitness program and you will see results. Just have to stick with it which a lot of people cannot do
