In my experience insanity will help you lose more weight.
P90x is more of a bulk up program.

I think you'll be fine with either. Just make sure you choose one and stick with it. Consistency is key. Good luck

I'd put both programs in a blender with a cup of egg whites, two scoops of chocolate protein powder and two tablespoons of peanut butter, drink it, and then go squat.

Well I've decided to try out insanity.
I play sports a lot so I feel that insanity will be more helpful
(in running and whatnot)

Insanity's great, and you don't really need any equipment to do it, just yourself and maybe a yoga mat. You'll shed those ten pounds easy pz. That being said, I've never tried P90X, however it seems like you need a lot of equipment and yeah it's definitely a program for bulking up like the other poster said.

Insanity puts the emphasis on cardio whilst P90X is more about weights - you'll need a set of weights as well as a pull up bar. Which one suits you depends on your preferences; some do one program to completion first beyond embarking on a hybrid - Insanity cardio with P90X weights.

P90X puts the emphasis on being a douche(or a power ranger judging by the marsupialed arm motions) while Insanity puts it on being a tool.

By the way, bulk up. 6 feet 160 is laughable

Hmm a bulk up?
My friend has P90x and we were considering
doing a hybrid workout.
Thoughts?

Hang on, if you are trying to lose weight at 6 foot and 170, I suggest you stop looking at Cosmo for ideal bodies. Do you even have any muscles at all? I am picturing an ecto with a very soft and pudgy mid section here?

Age must be less than 20.

6 foot 190 lean is pretty muscular and requires years of training, jus sayin.

That's pretty close to me and I'm a very solid guy.
