Which beachbody workout is best for an already-serious runner looking to strengthen: t25, p90x, or insanity?

It depends on how much time you want to put into it. I have done all three, but I like T25 the best because you're done in about 28 minutes (including the stretch at the end.) You work with weights in almost all of the workouts in T25, whereas in Insanity, there are no weights (as far as I can remember). P90X is just about all weights, but I'm rarely willing to put that much time into a workout. Hope this helps.

I really enjoy T25, it's short and varied so that its never boring and I always feel stronger afterwards.

RushFit is more overall training for the whole body instead of specific areas. You will sweat to the equivalent of Insanity no doubt! I did. P90x is a much more of a advanced workout truly, however you build momentum over time. RushFit just starts intense from the beginning in my opinion and can increase if you pick up the pace or increase your weights. Not the same but you'll find your weak spots and sweat like the dickens. If you don't something is wrong. Hope this helps!

I finished both P90X and Insanity prior to Rushfit. In my opinion, Rushfit was not nearly as challenging as either. P90X was more challenging muscle-wise. Insanity, cardio-wise. After two weeks of Rushfit, I was bored to death with workouts and the same warm-ups and cool-downs everyday, and I was not sore at all. Both insanity and P90X kept me wanting to see what was next and I was so sore the first week I could not move. However, after just a week with these programs, I saw results. I keep going back to insanity because of its diversity and challenging workouts that give results.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

I've completed both Rushfit and P90X3 (among other programs). In my opinion, P90X3 was a far superior program and my favorite home workout system so far. Less time per workout, far more variety, and a bit more challenging. It's been 18 months since I finished P90X3 and I still do 1-2 days of it per week. Rushfit is cheaper, however.

This workout program uses weights and 1 minute cardio intervals but in the 30 min sessions you are doing various exercises that either trigger the front of the body or the back of the body depending on your. She lays it out very clearly for you and there is very little repeating in this series. However, I love Insanity too but I haven't seen it done with weights.

I haven't done insanity before but by looking at it this will be light stuff and probably not as challenging. Have you tried P90X if you are looking for a challenge?

As others mention here it is not as intense or targeting toward jump-training and interval training as Insanity is. There is the Plyometrics disc which is jump-training but even it is less intense.Think of P90X as a more full whole-body workout than Insanity.You can check out my review of P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, and T25 on my blog here - http://randombitsbytes.com/p90x-vs-insanity-vs-p90x2-vs-t25-vs-p90x3/

My opinion, you need the foundation before doing Gamma. T25 is a pretty intense program. Gamma builds muscle whereas the first programs are working your core and doing more cardio.

I don't know if better is the right choice but I prefer insanity to p90x. Insanity is definitely the better cardio workout and doesn't require any additional weights or tools other than yourself to reap the benefits of burning max calories while incorporating strength training/ muscle building using your own body weight and although the workout is extremely exhausting you seem to move through it quickly whereas p90x seems to drag.

You have the use it with an app on your smartphone. There are a bunch to choose from. I use mapmyrun and there is a selection in it for other gym workout. I use it all the time when I do t25

it depends on your fitness level. also if you have any back problems or joint issues I would say no! It is a good workout; really good. however, teenager to 40ish unless you are in tip top shape. (my opinion) leslie sansone (walking for abs) has a good workout that is also challenging with 1 minute intervals of jogging. great for your abs and total body. also fast results- guaranteed results within 10 workouts- tried and tested. I switch because of my adhd lol. for more challenge (but less difficult than shuan t's insanity), beach body has a great workout dvd called fat blaster that is as effective as insanity without the pesky frog jumps lol. good luck! it depends on your fitness level. also if you have any back problems or joint issues I would say no!

I have been doing insanity for 2 weeks. I have been working out for 20 years, taught spinning, and am in good shape. However, this is the hardest I have ever worked. I think it would definitely get you to where you want to be and more.

Move on to P90x3 if you want to continue short workouts. After doing two cycles of p90x3 and now starting p90x2, I become more and more disenchanted by the amount of time I spent with T25 and the lack of results. I see some people got amazing results with it, but for me, after alpha, beta and gamma, I had barely dropped 4 lbs. After moving on to x3, I dropped almost 10 lbs and started to see a lot of definition and there wasn't any major change in my diet between programs. Fairly or not, I look at T25 as simply a cardio program with a little bit of weight stuff thrown in there. Insanity might be the way to go if you are willing to commit to the longer workouts, but for short workouts, I don't know that you can do better than x3 for hitting the total body. You won't get that gasping for air effect that you do in T25, but I do believe you will get results. Good luck

Do the real Insanity series. That's worth the $. This video is an added bonus video and the quality is terrible. I returned mine. I've been doing Insanity (the complete series) for 2 years and I love it. I do Gillian when I feel like I need to take it down a notch on some days. Insanity is Gillian multiplied and fast-fwd'd. I love both for a well-rounded workout.

Definitely! The cardio is more intense than Rockin Body. I haven't done Turbo Jam. I've also done Brazil Butt Lift and this would be a great next step from Brazil Butt Lift.

I have done both P90x and Body beast and these are very different from BurstFit. The other programs about bulk and BurstFit is about using light weights in an anaerobic way. Don't get me wrong, this workout will kick your butt, but it's not about strength training like the other two are.
