Rushfit vs. P90X3 anyone?

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 really like both programs. I did P90X3 first. Finishing up final week of Rushfit now....doing the intermediate schedule. Going to do a recovery week next and then run through X3 again and then likely another round of Rushfit. I think you work a little harder in Rushfit. Rushfit also has cardio days where you can do a cardio exercise you like (ie, running, biking, swimming) or do a cardio workout from another program. I know I sweat more on a daily basis with Rushfit. Probably got stronger with X3 with the pull-ups and heavier weights in some workouts, plus eccentric work in Blocks 2 and 3. I really liked how X3 cycles through resistance, cardio and recovery workouts...switching things up every month. I can't say anything bad about either workout program. Really like both of them.

I have finished rushfit and now I am on the final week of focus t25 alpha and beta (10 weeks total) . My wife and I enjoyed rushfit and we completed the beginner option as a workout. With focus t25 alpha I lost more weight and with beta using weights I toned up as much as the beginner workout. I dont have P90x 30. But I absolutely will recommend focus t25 .

I've completed both Rushfit and P90X3 (among other programs). In my opinion, P90X3 was a far superior program and my favorite home workout system so far. Less time per workout, far more variety, and a bit more challenging. It's been 18 months since I finished P90X3 and I still do 1-2 days of it per week. Rushfit is cheaper, however.

Thanks Avid Reader... I think you just inspired my boyfriend to give your path a shot! I did P90 (the original) about 10 years ago and had great results, stopped somewhere and then no longer had a VHS player, etc. I've heard such great things about P90X and knew we weren't ready for it, but this way makes a lot of sense; wish they publicized it more on their own website!

Move on to P90x3 if you want to continue short workouts. After doing two cycles of p90x3 and now starting p90x2, I become more and more disenchanted by the amount of time I spent with T25 and the lack of results. I see some people got amazing results with it, but for me, after alpha, beta and gamma, I had barely dropped 4 lbs. After moving on to x3, I dropped almost 10 lbs and started to see a lot of definition and there wasn't any major change in my diet between programs. Fairly or not, I look at T25 as simply a cardio program with a little bit of weight stuff thrown in there. Insanity might be the way to go if you are willing to commit to the longer workouts, but for short workouts, I don't know that you can do better than x3 for hitting the total body. You won't get that gasping for air effect that you do in T25, but I do believe you will get results. Good luck

I'm not 100% sure if they're identical, but they look to be exactly the same in the band area. I've been really pleased w/ the one that I bought on Amazon. I was going to buy the Beach Body version when I started P90X3, but went w/ this one because it was Less expensive. Hope this helps you out.

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)

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

Nope, I'm in same boat as you. I have the 400 and the white hand held and they are about 10% different. I eat pretty well and am in phase 3 of P90X so I'm inclined to believe the hand held which has me in my mid teens is more accurate than the 400 which has me near 28%. It really sucks that it is off that much.

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

Raju,Either of the mats would be great for p90x. Plenty thick and sturdy.If you want a mat and worry about slipping because you sweat then go for the SYnergy mat with the Towel top and mat botom.

I would go with the Ballet Physique, first of all its cheaper and you are a beginner, and second of all the Physique 57 woman is really hard to listen to. She feels like she needs to fill every second with talking. They are both great workouts, I just didnt personally like the Physique 57...

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!!!

Nah, it's meant for people of all levels. Just stick with it and take breaks if you need to. I mix it up with p90x and p90x3. Don't ever get discouraged or think you cannot do it.

Yes, I think it would be too basic/easy and you would be bored with it if you enjoyed P90x & Insanity.

RushFit is more overall training for the whole body instead of specific areas. You will sweat to the equivalent of Insanity no doubt! I did. P90x is a much more of a advanced workout truly, however you build momentum over time. RushFit just starts intense from the beginning in my opinion and can increase if you pick up the pace or increase your weights. Not the same but you'll find your weak spots and sweat like the dickens. If you don't something is wrong. Hope this helps!

I am not familiar with the mat from P90X but the Hemingweigh xtra thick is a very good quality and comfortable mat for the price. I work in a fitness gym and I have not seen a better mat than the Hemingweigh in that price range.

This workout would be perfect for you. I have also done P90X along with a few other workouts. This workout won't bulk you up but it keeps you tone and focuses a lot on safe and creative core exercises perfect for general fitness and stability. It also has enough cardio so you don't have to hit the treadmill afterwards. Hope this helps.

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).
