For the past four to five years, the P90x workout has been the standard for in-home workout DVDs. It literally has changed the way we workout at home, but over the past year there has been another workout on the rise. It is called the Shaun T insanity Workout, you may have heard of Shaun T, he is best known for his extremely popular Hip Hop Abs workout. But the Insanity is nothing at all like the Hip Hop Abs Workout; it is an extreme workout program.

So which program is better?

First off, I am not even sure if it is fair to compare the two, because they fit two totally different types of people. They are both incredibly challenging, and both work. You just have to decide what you want to accomplish.

Here are the benefits of P90x:

- Each workout focuses on a different region of the body, allowing muscles groups’ time for rest and growth.

- It is 90 days! You have 3 months to go all out and get your body ripped.

- Muscle Confusion, P90x is great for results because it does not allow your muscles to adapt to the workout routine.

- Muscle, muscle, muscle! You will build lean muscle through the routine and learn some sweet exercises.

- Variety, P90x offers muscle training, plyometrics, kickboxing, and yoga and a killer abs routine.

- Years of results, the reason P90x is still popular after 4 years, is because it works!

- You get a nutrition guide, fitness guide, and calendar.

Here are some cons for P90x:

- Can be too tough for the average person.

- You need extra equipment. Like a Chin up bar, dumbbells, or resistance bands.

- Tony Horton can be annoying.

Here are some benefits to the Insanity Workout:

- Max interval training; professional athletes use interval training, so you know it works.

- No workout equipment needed, the insanity workout only uses body resistance.

- Shaun T is not annoying to watch.

- 60 days! Insanity can help you see results in 60 days.

- Fitness guide, Nutrition guide, calendar.

- Pure Cardio, great for the lungs and heart.

Here are some cons for the Insanity Workout:

- Can be too tough for the average person.

- Does not offer any extra products like P90x does. For example…multivitamins, recovery drink, and protein bars.

These are both absolutely incredible workouts, and whichever one you chose you will see results if you follow the plan.

If you want to see more muscle, then I would chose P90x, but if you want to see a leaner physic, then Insanity is the way to go. You can possibly lose weight and get toned with either workout.

The only thing that would be better than doing one of these workouts is doing a mixture of both the P90x and Insanity workouts. Both workouts are the same price and both will get you into incredible shape and teach you how to stay in shape.
