Insanity Max:30 or P90X3?
Posted on 4/8/15 at 8:47 am
Posted on 4/8/15 at 8:47 am
Which is better? Does Insanity build muscle mass or just tone it up? Is P90X3 as effective as normal P90X?
If I need to some some weight then put it back on as muscle which should I do?

I haven't done either, but if my understanding is correct (which it might not be) Insanity is a little more cardio based while x3 (similar to p90x) focuses a bit more on muscle building.

I've done P90X before and still have it and I have done a couple of Insanity Max:30 workouts. I really liked 90x but I don't have 90 minutes a day to devote to working out like I need to. I'm just trying to decide if X3 is as good as 90x and if I'm trying to drop weight if Insanity is better for me. Or will I lose weight with both and it wont matter.

IMO it's not. I love that the workouts are 30 minutes, but I've been contemplating going back to the original p90.

P90X3 has more resistance traning compared to insanity but neither program barely builds muscle mass. Even with intense lifting you're lucky if you put on 1 lb of muscle a month.
If your goal is adding lean muscle I strongly suggest lifting weights. I've tried all three and bodybuilding gave me the best results by far.
If your goal is losing weight try P90X3 or insanity.

I'm about to finish week 12 of p90x. There's only 1 disc that's 90 minutes (which I don't do), most of the resistance discs are about 50 minutes.

If weight loss is your biggest goal, it seems cardio (insanity) might be better.

I need to drop about 20 lbs before I start adding anything back on. I lost about 20 last summer on 90X but I had way more free time then than I do now. I'm just trying to figure out what is going to get the weight off and get me in the best position to build muscle after I get it off.

It is, if you push yourself. If you try to "pace yourself" like you do in P90X, you'll not get the same results. I like X3 because its only 30 minutes and there are some killer workouts.
Posted on 4/8/15 at 9:09 am to HottyToddy7
Honestly, I've been doing x3 for nearly the full 90 days now...2 weeks out from finishing round 1 currently. I haven't lost any weight yet and bounce around between + 3-5 pounds since I started. I have slimmed down and got quite a bit stronger than when I started, but I was also starting with next to no base strength anyway. I used to struggle just to do 5-10 push-ups at week 1. I know I've lost a good bit of fat doing this, but no weight. Results for someone with a better strength base may be completely different than someone like me though.

For long term fitness (build muscle, keep bodyfat% low) all able men should lift weights and use cardio as supplement only. the results are fantastic and I can't stress it enough. If you're very old and can't lift heavy then it's a different story.

that's great news for me. I already don't weigh very much, but am looking to lose a little fat. I'm starting x3 in a few weeks.

Yep.

Meh. I'm perfectly fine just using resistance bands, a pull up bar, and workout discs in my home.
I've never been fond of the thought of paying to go workout in a gym, plus I don't really like the hassle and effort of going to a gym.

Do Body Beast instead, breh

noob question here; is the base p90x3 kit good enough or do you need to splurge for the ultimate pack with pre / post workout formula, etc.

Is this really legit? I see people mention it but I dont know anyone who has actually done it.

The base kit is all I got.

I know a few people who have done it and they think it's the best at-home workout. I want to try it.

Any idea how it compares to p90x? The reviews all seem positive.
