P90X is a 90 day workout program that is based on the principle of muscle confusion. If you are like most people, you probably keep doing the same routines and exercises, using the same weights, the same rest periods, over and over and over. Week after week, month after month, even year after year. Sooner or later, the results you achieve are smaller and smaller, and you end up hitting a “plateau”. The philosophy behind Muscle Confusion is to avoid your body getting used to a particular routine, and therefore reaching this plateau. By mixing things up you are constantly challenging your muscles to obtain maximum results and it will keep you mentally motivated and interested in your workouts as you start reaching your fitness goals. During 90 days, Tony Horton will push your limits, giving you tons of “variety” to your workouts which will lead to faster and more noticeable results.

INSANITY is a 60 day workout program that is based on the theory of Max Interval Training. The philosophy behind this fitness approach is to perform bursts of high intensity exercises followed by short rest periods. These high intensity bursts can last from a few seconds up to a minute, usually spaced out by short rest times or lower intensity exercises. This type of routine will help you burn fat faster than any other “conventional cardio” approach. Studies demonstrate that it’s a more effective way for losing fat and gaining lean muscle mass especially in the core and abdominal area. Also it has been demonstrated that it will help you build endurance and overcome fatigue.
