I've been splicing in Ab Ripper X (from the P90X series) on days when I feel like I can make it through after my Insanity workout, as well as Stretch X and Yoga X on off days.

Beachbody's line in general is all awesome. Has anybody else ever tried it? If not, I suggest you give it a look. It'll take some strong joints and legs to be able to even begin Insanity, so it isn't for people just starting into fitness, but damn is it fun if you're ready for it!

[I know I sound like a commercial, but yeah fuck you]

Will check it out.

Would you recommend cardio on the treadmill?

Thanks.

I have not tried Insanity or p90x. I have a friend who is pretty athletic currently doing p90 but I am not sure if he is still going with it. The only reason I have not tried it is because I feel like it is more for endurance. Basically, I feel like it does not aid me in my overall goals (bodybuilding).

Don't get me wrong, I have seen some crazy transformations from these workouts. If you are a beginner or even intermediate level in regards to working out I am sure you would get good results from these.
