Is p90x3 like insanity? Didn't like all the stress on my knees in insanity...Better to buy p90x?

No, nothing like insanity, p903 is a better pace and slower. Less stress in the knees...p903 is much better

As others mention here it is not as intense or targeting toward jump-training and interval training as Insanity is. There is the Plyometrics disc which is jump-training but even it is less intense.Think of P90X as a more full whole-body workout than Insanity.You can check out my review of P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, and T25 on my blog here - http://randombitsbytes.com/p90x-vs-insanity-vs-p90x2-vs-t25-vs-p90x3/

I did not try Insanity. I do have bad knees and I have to modify some of the jumping, but I don't find it to be too much stress.

No, P90X3 is a total body workout in 30 mins. Insanity is mostly cardo. Too much jumping. P90X3 is awesome.
2055177
No, they are different and p90 is less stressful on the knees and incorporates more strengthening. I like the combination of both.

No - it is not as intense. However there is some jumping in a couple of routines. For the most part it is similar to P90X - but shorter and more intense.

Honestly.... yes. Yes you could. The pace is not as fast as you'd expect it to be. One envisions something like Insanity or Asylum where breaks are minimal and infrequent. In truth, in P90X3 the breaks are only slightly shorter and less frequent. I've been doing P90X3 for a month now (since it just came out)... and it's good but I'm not IN LOVE with it. It's a nice option mentally though, to be able to pop up a 30 minute workout when I know that a 60-minute workout just isn't going to happen for me, without feeling like I'm quitting early or missing out on particular exercises I want to do. If the idea of a 30 minute workout sounds intriguing and motivating, you'll like it. But I've been true to the program and my results seem approximately half of what they were when I did P90X a few years back (Phase 1).

Insanity is definitely a hard workout. Hip hop abs is similar in that it will work on other muscles that you may have not worked on before. It will make you sweat and you will have have fun. So yes it is challenging, but in a different way.

I agree with the others. I think it depends on your size, your neighbors, your apartment, and your ability to land softly. The moves in Power 90 aren't nearly as jump involved as programs like p90x or insanity. Also, the first DVD you'll work on for the first 45 days is only about 30 to 40 minutes per day. The second disc for the last 45 days goes up to about 50 minutes I think.

Actually, I think the original Insanity is harder than the Asylum. The warm up in Asylum is much harder though - actually, there really is no warm up - the warm up is just like doing hard cardio! The Asylum is geared more towards athletes wanting to improve their performance, but it is a great workout too. You'll be fine.

P90X3 is different. The workouts are much more intense to make up for the shortened time. There are also many more workouts, 16 I think, that provide a more well-rounded approach.

Definately! Everything about this workout is for making you stronger, physically and mentally. I did P90 in the past and I think this is tougher since it is all body strength and no weights.

very well said I am 36 and 350 pounds I want to try p 90 x but was afraid that I would not be able to do it. Like the poster I also work a desk job. I don't eat bad all of the time but I don't exercise consistently .Thank you for the suggestions and encouragement good luck on your journey. We should start the p90x 300lb + club LOL!!!

Definitely check with your doctor before you start anything! I am not a P90X user, but I had a lot of fun with the P90 program several years ago. I did not lose much weight, but definitely got more fit.

I bought Turbo Jam a few years ago and had to return it within a couple of weeks. Loved the workout, but it really hurt my knees. Use it with knee problems at your own risk.

Rushfit isn't as intense, but is a smarter more scientific work out that applies to every day athletics. go here to learn everything you need to know about rushfit, p90 and insanity: http://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/1443/

I haven't done T25 but I highly recommend p90x3 to anyone who will listen. 30 minutes well spent.

Power 90 is for beginners, it is on a 6 day calender. Once you finish Power 90 you should be ready for P90X, so I would choose something different. P90X2 is out.

Hi. I've done Insanity before also. The intensity of this workout is to concentrate in your abs so consider a 50% less intensity than insanity. You will have to combine it a harder workout is what you are looking for. Good luck!

Hi Bernice,I would say that you don't HAVE to do the original Insanity before diving into Asylum. What you need, though, is a solid cardio base and established core and upper body strength. You need to be used to doing plank work--a lot of it--because you'll be doing moving pushups, moving planks, plyometric planks, plank runs, etc. I'm not familiar with the T25 and P90x3 routines, but if they give you a good aerobic foundation and appropriate strengthening, you should be fine to start Asylum. Good luck!

Hi Lynne, Honestly...it can be at times. Since your doing the same workout everyday, your knees do feel a little raw after the first week and towards the end of the program. I recently stated Power 90 and found that to be a lot better on my knees. Hope this helps.

I started with p90x3 and i lost 16 pounds in two weeks but i could not get big muscles . By the time i was done with 90 days program i was ripped but i was not that strong as I though I would be . Then i tried insanity and i just got leaner lol . Now i`m doing BB and i put on like 10 pounds of lean muscles and i got stronger but i have to watch my diet and for cardio i climb the 1000 stairs for like 30 min 3 days a week . If you can do both workouts together that would give you exactly what you want Justice but its kind of hard to do all that .
