advice,do you think doing insanity in the am and p90x in the pm would be overtraining? both are tough but one is more cardio and one is more weights.

    I definitely think its possible... P90x is alot of weights and insanity is pure cardio. Go for it! You just got me intrigued and I might do it that way!

    Another combo to consider is Chalene Extreme/Turbo Fire. Same concept just with Chalene :)

    I've never done insanity but know it's all cardio. p90x alternates days of strength with days of cardio and then one rest day. So you would have 3 out of 6 days with 2 cardio workouts. Some of those days would be tough I would think, especially on the plyo days with p90x.

    I do TurboKick and my doctor still says I'm ok (I'm 27 weeks along) since I was doing it before I was pregnant. Both workouts are intense, so just be aware of your body. Personally I've been having round ligament pains the entire time, so I have to watch how much I twist at my core. Modify what you feel you have to in order to stay safe and uninjured, but you should be ok.

    If you have any other questions about it (you or any of the others that replied), feel free to hit me up at coachwinter.com!

    Good luck!

    You could do it, but it would be tough. Some of the Insanty workouts are doubled for the day once you move into the second month. I know that from Insanity (and I followed the food plan too) that it was just exhausting...and I came into the workout in really great shape. You get out what you put into it in regards to Insanity (like most workouts). If you want to slack off, you will have an ok workout, but not one that you put 100% into. If you want to go 100% in your Insanity workout, I don't think there would be a lot of energy left to do the P90X workouts later. I would be interested in hearing how it goes though...GL.
