Well I now have the insanity workout and have completed the first couple days. I will be reviewing this workout as I go through and comparing it to the p90x workout.
This is going be one hard core workout, just from doing the first couple videos, I would not suggest this workout to a beginner or someone just jumping back into fitness.
The Insanity series had being getting compared to p90x a lot, I think it is because it is a program where you do a different video everyday, there is a nutrition plan and a calender. The difference though is this program is only 60 days vs the 90 days, also this program seems to be more cardio and speed training involved as well.
The workout is like one long interval training class, with high intensity cardio and some strength moves tossed in. The video and people move very quickly and there are not many rest breaks at all.
I would suggest doing p90x or at several months of solid fitness training before starting this workout. If you do not like P90x Pylometrics you will not like the Insanity workouts.
P90x Vs Insanity
The videos are technically shorter than most of the p90x workouts, the insanity ones are around 45 minutes, while the p90x can vary from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. But I’ll have to say, the actually workout time feels the same, this is because you have this chit chat coming from Shaun T then you do from Tony Horton. I would even say if you cut out all of Tony’s talking breaks, the actually workout time would be close to the same on some of the videos.
Shaun T is not spending time talking with you and explaining much of the moves it is mostly just go, go, go.
Insanity With P90x
At first I thought I would be doing Insanity workouts with some p90x workouts mixed in, since last week I did week 1 of p90x, but after doing the insanity video today, I realized I would not want to do both videos. I think it would just be too much video time. So instead I’m doing the Insanity workouts, mixed with lifting at the gym three days a week.
I’ll be reviewing more of the videos as I go through them. I’ll have to say I miss Tony a little bit, but so far so good.
