Trying to decide between P90X and Insanity? They are both great programs. Both of them will help you lose weight and get six pack abs. So, which one should you use? I say use both of them. Do a round of P90X and then keep it going with Insanity.

I know, that’s not the answer you were looking for. So, let’s get to the heart of it and take a look at some of the similarities and differences between the two programs.

P90X And Insanity Similarities

• Both programs are in-home DVD programs
• Both programs are very intense
• They are priced the same (S&H is $5 more on Insanity)
• There is a nutrition plan with both programs
• Both programs come with a money back guarantee

P90X And Insanity Differences

• P90X is a 90 day program and Insanity is a 60 day program
• P90X requires dumbbells and a pull-up bar and Insanity only uses your own body weight
• P90X is a 7 day a week program and Insanity is a 6 day a week program
• P90X workouts are longer than Insanity workouts
• P90X is more low-key than Insanity

The bottom line is, both programs will give you results. You have to pick the one that feels like the best fit for you. Insanity is more intense than P90X, but P90X is a bigger time commitment than Insanity. It’s a bit of a trade-off. My suggestion is to pick the one that you are most likely to stick with. Insanity focuses on a lot of plyometric type moves while P90X has you doing everything from plyometrics to resistance training to yoga. If you like ploymetrics, give Insanity a shot. If variety is more appealing to you, try out P90X. Whatever you decide, you can’t go wrong. If you can’t make up your mind, get them both. That will give you a lifetime of killer workouts and it will cost you far less than a year at the gym.

Sometimes, the best ab workouts don’t involve any traditional ab exercises. I found one such ab exercise routine that really nails your lower abs and doesn’t require any sit-ups, crunches, or any other exercises that you normally consider when coming up with an ab workout. I got this workout from Mike Geary, author of The Truth About Six Pack Abs.

This ab routine has three exercises: Renegade Dumbbell Rows, Front Squats with Barbell, and Mountain Climbers. Do eight reps of each exercise (do the mountain climbers for 30 seconds instead of eight reps) and do 3 – 4 sets. You can also do 5 sets of 5 reps per exercise. Rest 30 seconds between each exercise and rest one minute between sets. You can see a demonstration of each exercise in the videos below.

Front Squats with Barbell

Mountain Climbers

The first time I did this ab workout, I really felt it in my lower abs. Honestly, I was surprised at how well it worked. Give it a try and you will see what I mean. Mike Geary’s approach to building great abs is really effective and it’s different from what you hear everywhere else. If you like this ab routine and want to give Mike’s approach a try, make sure you pick up a copy of his program, The Truth About Six Pack Abs.
