Meadowlark Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm thinking of trying one but am overwhelmed with the choices. I've been exercising for about 6 months now 5/6 times a week. I think I'm in okay shape, but still 20 lbs or so overweight after losing 50. My knees used to hurt but are better since losing the weight. I'm not a fan of just cardio or dance type stuff. I'd rather do a HIIT workout or cardio combined with strength. Other DVDs I like are the biggest loser, Jillian Michaels/Bob Harper, and the Firm series. I'm not a fan of Billy Blank or anybody screaming at me. My goals are to maintain or lose a bit more, build muscle and tone up. Which one would I like? Thx!

StephanieZ Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Insanity is awesome. And Shawn T is hot, hot, hot. Makes you want to workout, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Above The Rowan Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm doing PiYo right now and it's amazing!! My hubby is doing Insanity Max:30 and it's pretty intense but in just a couple of weeks he's seeing results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 DH did Insanity for awhile, and I knew I wasn't interested in that sort of pace. We eventually bought T25 Alpha and Beta to try. I've really enjoyed it and do like Shaun T's style, including someone showing modified versions of the moves. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I like the full body health aspects of P90X, 21 Day Fix, and Insanity Asylum. P90X is the best program I've ever done. Try Beach Body on demand for 30 days for free and play around with the different programs. You will lose weight the fastest with Shaun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I like Chalene. You might try her weight geared one as a way to prep for P90x if that is a future goal. I would hold off on TurboFire if you still have more weight to lose but trend to knee problems.

claire up north Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I agree that Insanity is awesome, but I think you will be irritated with it since you say you don't like cardio. It's a lot of cardio, and it is pretty repetitive. That being said, it is one of my absolute favorites. It sounds like P90X might be for you. You don't do nearly as much cardio, but you do a lot of strength training. Tony Horton does not scream. I find him very encouraging, and just dorky enough to make me laugh during workouts. YMMV. I hurt my ankle back in February, so I've been nursing it for a few months now. I just started P90 (no x...I call it the lower case version) and will do that, hopefully get stronger, and then go for the P90X program again. HTH!
