Welcome to Talk Show Tuesday! What’s the difference between P90x and Insanity? Pros and Cons? | Jungle Fitness Orange County Personal Training

Hey everyone, Happy Talk Show Tuesday & welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today we’re going to look at the difference between the at home workout of P90x Workout and the Insanity Workout.

People who have really good self motivation and can devote themselves to workout at home and isn’t tempted to watch TV, distract yourself, or make excuses to workout (I’ll do it tomorrow), might consider buying P90x or Insanity. Now how do you tell which one is for you or even if there’s one better than the other. I will explain that to you guys.

P90x Workout

P90x is a 90 day workout transformation. It focuses on parts of your muscle without the usage of weights to make them tone and very define. P90x has 12 CD’s which each concentrates either on a certain muscle or topic. However every time you get used to that exercise, it changes which the term “Muscle Confusion” comes into term. Every 30 days the workouts change, so your muscles do not adjust to the style of workout that you were doing previously. This allows your muscles to attack a new series of exercises that are new to your muscles but still targeting the range of your muscle in one area.

1. Chest & Back - Targeted strength and definition workout emphasizes two classic upper-body exercises.

2. Plyometrics - Explosive jumping cardio routine proven to dramatically improve athletic performance.

3. Shoulders & Arms - Potent combination of pressing, curling, and fly movements, that will leave you stronger.

4. Yoga X - Combines strength, balance, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind.

5. Legs & Back - Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other.

6. Kenpo X - Intense cardiovascular workout with punching and kicking for endurance, balance, and coordination.

7. X Stretch - Achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time, plus prevent injuries and avoid plateaus.

8. Core Synergistics - Build and support multiple muscle groups to build and support the core while conditioning your body.

9. Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps - Target both large and small upper body muscles to push you to the brink.

10. Back & Biceps - Flex those powerful biceps and focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles.

11. Cardio X - Low-impact cardio routine that is a fun fat-burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean.

12. Ab Ripper X - Sculpt the six-pack abs of your dreams and benefit your health and physical performance.

Insanity Workout

The Insanity Workout is a 60 day transformation. Just like the P90x, the Insanity Workout doesn’t use weights either. The Insanity Workout has 12 CDs that focus on a lot of body movement, cardio, abs, and conditioning workouts. This workout contains long bursts of intense exercises followed by small intervals of rest in between. This forces your muscles to push itself to the fullest and get out of every rep as possible in every exercise, rest and repeat.

They are both designed differently. One is 60 days and the other 90 days. P90x focuses more on muscle exercises with certain reps/set count and muscle confusion. Insanity focuses more on cardio, conditioning, abs and doing all reps to failure (till you can not do anymore). If you’re a person who can not workout at home, and ultimately will just NEVER end up doing it, you need a personal trainer. If by any chance you’re a person who enjoys cardio, fast pace workouts, and have the self motivation to workout at home, Insanity Workout is for you. However, if you do not like fast pace workouts or cardio, and would rather experience what muscles you are using for which workout at the comforts of your home. Maybe Yoga or Kenpo sounds fun? Then P90x is for you.
