Question: Which is more beneficial p90x or insanity?
Answers:
I have done them both. They are both hard, but different. Even though I had a couple years of P90X under my belt, I found Insanity a bit harder.
Insanity is all high impact, high intensity cardio. I like that P90X includes many different facets, from strength training, plyometrics, yoga, etc... I feel it's a more all around fitness program, plus I wouldn't recommend doing back to back cycles of Insanity, whereas with P90X that's totally fine. Lastly, I feel P90X is easier to modify based on your current fitness level. Also, P90X requires some equipment where Insanity does not.
Beachbody's programs like P90X and Insanity are not about short cuts or gimmicks, which is why those who follow them get great results. They are all about staying consistent with the workouts (5-6 days a week), and maintaining a healthy diet.
Personally, I needed a program layed out for me with a step by step process to follow. The Beachbody programs are very well structured. All I had to do is play a DVD and follow along, plus the programs come with easy to follow nutrition plans that give you plenty of options for what to eat and how to modify to your own tastes. Lastly, Beachbody has a tremendous online support system which I found very helpful for staying motivated, accountable, and getting through the programs.
Below are links to reviews I did for both programs.
If you do plan on ordering either, I suggest you shop through Beachbody's, Team Beachbody web site (same company, same return policy, etc...). You will pay less shipping and your order will come with additional bonus DVD workouts which you can not get if you order through the advertised 800# and website.
I am a Team Beachbody coach and have helped many people through many of their programs. If you're looking for some help, guidance and support I'd be happy to help out. Feel free to contact me through my yahoo profile or blog.
Good luck with your decision.

P90x uses free weights and involves all major body muscles. Insanity is strictly body mass workouts at high intensity for cardio. I prefer P90x.
