Any P90, P90x or Insanity users here?
Just wanna get your experience, results, advice, anything you can share.

Right now I'm going to the gym 3 times a week, 35min cardio (HR 140s) and about 40-45min weights. And then walking at least a couple miles every day. It's gone pretty good so far, lost almost 60 pounds since Jan. But now I wanna step up my overall fitness level and not just loose weight. I want a good balance between adding muscle and building endurance but honestly given my condition, cardio is probably most important. I would like to jump straight into Insanity but don't think my fitness level is there to keep up, but MORE importantly I'm worried about my joints (knees and feet especially) till I lose more weight and get stronger. So I'm thinking P90 first then Insanity. What do you think?

Thnx for anything you can share :)
 
I haven't done any of these but I plan to start one pretty soon. Is there a program guide that tells the user which workout to do on which day? It seems like the DVDs have workouts for a lot of different things, and I wouldn't really know which ones to do if I want all-around fitness.
 
yeah they all have a schedule that you follow, for instance P90 alternates toning and cardio 6 days a week then you rest on the 7th (I think God used this to get into shape) and after 6 or 7 weeks you go up to the next intensity. P90x and Insanity have more variety but also a well planned schedule that you follow. Keeps you working different muscle groups and balances toning and cardio.
 
They send you dvds and documentations for the scheduling and instructions and also a meal plan and I imagine there's probably recipes in it. I'm on a low fat vegan diet so I wont be following thier meal recomendations.
P90 I think you just need dumbells or resistant bands and also push up bars for when you get more advanced. P90x you also need a pull up bar. Insanity is awesome cause it's just you and your sweaty ass! Can't wait to build up to Insanity, really looking forward to it!
