It focuses on both Weight training and Cardio. But first. Please, work on getting your diet in check. That is biggest hurdle we all face. if you are not eating right, none of these programs are going to do you much good, as you will get discouraged quickly. focus on eating healthy. Drop some LB's, then start a program! -Rob Jamie,

Insanity is almost all cardio. What isn't cardio is body weight exercises, and Insanity will kick your butt. It isn't easy, in any way shape of form. Also, if you do P90X, Insanity, or any other program, the results you get are what you put into it. If you dedicate yourself to eating right, training hard, and getting enough rest when, you will see amazing results. If you are not firing on all cylinders, well, you won't see as good of results. There will be benefits, don't get me wrong. You just won't reach your full potential without dedication. And only you know if that is good enough for what you are tryign to achieve. :) -Rob If your cardio is horrible today, then to over simplify, you need to get working on it.

I'm looking to tone up. Is this a good choice? How about the insanity workouts? I’m 5’1 118lbs but my cardio is horrible. I’m looking to tone up. Is this a good choice?

I'm a 21 year old and 160 lbs (female). In high school I was very active but once I got into college and got married I'm not really active anymore. Overall, I want to lose about 20 lbs. I've had the p90x dvds for a little while now but was confused on which program would work best for me. Hi! I’m a 21 year old and 160 lbs (female).

The thing is, I really want more definiton than just being lean. I don't really want to lose or gain much weight because I think where I'm am is pretty solid, I am 5'9" and 155 pounds. My goal going into college this year is to be right around the times to make NCAAs. I just bought p90x and am going to do it in afternoons or at night because I have swim practice every morning and I don't want to kill myself before 10 in the morning. Any advice on how I can build the lean muscle I want without getting huge, as well as advice for my det plan(I pretty much eat whatever I want now because of swimming and my metabolism). Thanks!

I like mixing things up, and I have found that Shaun T's INSANITY videos really helped me lose body fat and REALLY improved my core strength. Since investing in INSANITY and all the Tony Horton One on One videos I have note gone back to a traditional P90X cycle in some time. I prefer to put together multi week cycles using the different video sets. It keeps things interesting, and I can really target the muscle groups I feel I need to hit. Also, the follow up to P90X is soon to be released, and that may be another option for you in a few months. The big thing is doing something you enjoy, and will keep you coming back to hit play. After that, it is all about your diet. Dialing it in for the last few vanity pounds is very tough work. You have to be strict on your calorie counting, and you can't cheat. I think losing the last 5 is harder than getting started in the first place. It take a TON of dedication. So, if you want to get rid of the last few LB's (quick) dial it in for 9 weeks. Otherwise, maintain a deficit meal plan, and keep with P90X or INSANITY or the like. You will lose the weight slowly, but if your diet is maintained, you will eventually lose the weight you want to. At this point for you, it's about what you eat. Even more than what you do. P90X got you fit, if you want to get leaner, it's a healthy diet (with the proper deficit) and a good workout cycle. If you have the cash, give <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/Insanity?referringRepid=7295" rel="nofollow">INSANITY </a>a try. I think you will like the results.

I'm 35, 5'5 and 152 pounds. I've already lost 9 pounds and am just starting week 4 of the classic program. I'm wondering if I should switch to the lean program. I'm built like an athlete and am strong, but would like to lose another 10 pounds... I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Make sure you are eating right, get enough sleep, and don't over do it. If you are playing soccer, or going to soccer practice, be sure to give yourself an extra rest day. If you start on a Monday, then drop either Plyometrics (Tuesday) or KenpoX (Saturday). soccer will be giving you enough cardio. DON'T skip the Yoga. You will need the stretching. :) -Rob I’m a soccer player as well, and P90X Classic is the way to go.
