I’ve been doing P90x (I did a review about the program here) for about a year and a half and I love. Recently I just picked up Insanity! I absolutely love it! It comes with 10 insane workouts! They are all cardio workouts, but they also will strengthen you’re entire body!

I’ve actually started doing a P90X – Insanity hybrid. I do all the P90x strength conditioning workouts along with yoga, and replace all of P90X’s cardio workouts with Insanity workouts. It’s made a huge difference!

It’s estimated that you’ll burn between 800-1,000 calories with an Insanity workout! I believe it! They’re intense! The hardest part about Insanity is not the moves, it is the constant movement! You are constantly giving you’re all for 40-50 minutes!

If you’re looking to lose weight or get into the best shape of your life, Insanity is a must own! **If you’re going to do it, make sure you follow the nutrition plan too, it’s important!

I’m on my last few days of my first run through P90X. I absolutely love it. I guarantee it will get you the results you’re looking for if you’ll stay disciplined and go through the program.You can watch the making of p90x here!

I would highly recommend buying P90X if you’re looking to get in shape. Buy it here!

What I love about the program:

1.) You get results! - To be honest, I didn’t diet much during this round because of the holidays, but I saw results, I lost body fat, I became more flexible, and I got a lot stronger.

2.) The Daily Discipline of Working Out - These workouts are usually about an hour and fifteen minute comittment. It takes discipline to schedule them and get them done. You’ll become a more disciplined person through the program.

3.) You Don’t Need Much Equipment - I used bands, a pull-up bar, and push up bars -> all very inexpensive.

4.) Anyone Can Do It - Though the workouts are very intense, someone is always showing you a modified way to do the moves. You’re encouraged throughout all the workouts to simply “Do Your Best, and Forget the Rest” and in time, you’ll improve.

5.) The Variety of Workouts - It’s not just lifting and cardio. After a week – you feel like you’ve worked you’re entire body and you feel great.

6.) Tony Horton - Some love him, others hate him. I happen to love the guy! He makes the workouts fun, he pushes you, and he has tons of memorable quotes that you get engrained in your mind!

Potential “Downfalls”:

1.) The Time Commitment - 90 Days is great, an hour and a half a day isn’t bad either, but sometimes I did found it hard to workout 6 or 7 days a week, not because I was lazy, but I just didn’t have an extra hour and a half that day.

2.) Working out at Home - I actually loved working out at home as opposed to a gym, but when i talk to some people about the program, they insist they have to work out at a gym. My advice would be go through the program and implement what you learn when you go to the gym.

P90X is made up of 12 Workouts:

1.) Chest and Back - An hour of mostly push-ups and pull -ups – I love this workout!

2.) Back and Bi’s- 2 back exercises followed by two bicep exercises – Brutal! The Corn Cob pull-ups are killer!

3.) Core Synergetics - I think this was my favorite work out – it destroys you’re core!

4.) Plyometrics - Jump training! This is probably the hardest of all the workouts. Tony calls it “The mother of all P90X workouts” – a well deserving name.

5.) Yoga – This was the most surprising! At first you’ll hate yoga and think it’s stupid and a waste of time, by the end of the 90 days, you’ll be looking foreword to every chance you get to do yoga. Here is what Tony thinks of yoga!

6.) Legs and Back – Wall Squats… enough said!

7.) Cardio – This ended up being my Saturday workout – a mixture of yoga, plyo, core, and kempo!

8.) Kempo – This workout is fun, a lot of punching and kicking, but it was my least favorite. I never felt like I got a great workout in after I did it. I ended up replacing this with Cardio.

9.) Chest, Shoulders, and Tri’s – This workout is tough, but awesome! 1-handed push-ups..Tough!

10.) Shoulders and Arms – The glamour muscles! Gotta love this workout!

11.) XStretch - Your optional Sunday workout – when you can get it in, it’s worth it – so relaxing!

12.) Ab Ripper X - This is killer! It’s a 16 minute ab workout that you do after 3 of your workouts throughout the week!

So a lot of you have been asking me about P90X – What is it? Does it work? Is it worth it? Etc.. Here’s what I know:

P90X is a set of 12 workouts on DVD that are very intense! I first heard about it from  people doing  it in my church. All I know is that they would talk about how tough the workouts are and I saw that they were getting results. Since then, I’ve gotten the workouts and done them – they’re awesome and very tough! Here are some thoughts on the program:

It’s Convenient - 12 DVD’s – so you’re able to do them at home. All you need is an hour a day… You don’t need a ton of weights. A few dumbbells or  stretch bands, and a pull-up bar.

It’s not Richard Simmons - Most workout videos tend  to be very cheesy . . . while P90X has it’s moments, I really enjoy Tony (the trainer) and I find the workouts flying by! Best workout videos I’ve ever seen!

Anyone Can do it – I really like these workouts because the trainers show you how to modify exercises if you can’t do perfect form, encourage you to set your own goals instead of trying to keep up with them, and have the motto, “Do your best, forget the rest.” They know that over time – you’ll get to where you want to be!

It’s a Variety - Half of the DVD’s are strength building, the other half are core, stretching, and cardio work… I love the variety!

It Works - It comes with a workout calendar and a nutrition guide for you to follow. I’ve seen the results of those who’ve followed through with the program – and they end up looking great!

My results - To be honest, I haven’t done the program all the way through, I’ve been training for the Marine Corps Marathon, so I usually will run one day and do a P90X workout of my choice on my off day. Once I’m done with the marathon, I plan on going through the entire 90 day program in the winter. (I will post pictures with my results!)

I’d definitely recommend buying this program if you’re willing to discipline yourself daily and follow-through with this. It’s like anything in life – if you put your heart and mind to it, you’ll do it, and get the results you want. The question is – how bad do you want it?
