Insanity it's a 60 program with intense cardio workouts and little no no weight training. It's suppose to be similar to Plyometrics in P90 but much more intense and difficult. It's all about cutting weight. Not recommended for those with bad knees because there is a lot of jumping and leg movement.


P90x is the one with the weights training. It will not only slim you down some, but you will gain muscle mass...this is the main difference between insanity. It's a 90 day program that is meant for you to gain that muscle and lose fat.

Both programs are similar to any fitness program, but much more intense. The main thing however in both programs is sticking to a DIET...Dieting is going to be one of the biggest contributors to losing fat or gaining muscle. Anyone can lose weight by cutting back their daily caloric intake.

Adding to what Kevin said.

Biggest difference between the P90X Diet and most others is if you don't eat enough, you will actually look worse at the end of the program than if you ate the recommended caloric intake. Obviously it's all about what you eat, but in this program it's also about the quantity of what you eat. Some of the portions are absolutely huge. But it's welcomed when you literally have to crawl off the mat and out of the pool of your own sweat.
