I really can't decide which one of them to do.

What equipment are you using for it?
A set of dumbbells and a pull up bar (and a yoga mat)

No I didn't (it's a time thing really I do about 90 mins of yoga a day so doing an hour plus on top of that would be too much)

No one tried Asylum yet? IMO much more enjoyable than Insanity.

Just thought I'd bump this.
Having been a lazy arse for a while I decided to get back on the waggon.
Did insanity last year,really enjoyed it.
I am now on week 4 of Beta phase T25. Absolutely loving it again and week 4 allows to to start Gamma phase early. Did Extreme Circuit yesterday which was fucking brutal but enjoyable. So got another 2 weeks on Beta and then on to Gamma for 4 weeks.
Looking forward to seeing the full results in another 6 weeks. I will consider the Asylum then or will rip insanity up once more.
Anyone got any diet tips. I do eat well but obviously training means I want more and more food all the time.
For example today I have eaten:-
Granola with Raisins
Fruit mid morning
Tuna with Tomatoes and Vinegar- Muller light fat free yoghurt
Fruit mid afternoon.
Chicken and Baked potato for tea.
Not sure if eating enough,to much or to little.
Any help would be appreciated.

No offence mate but i eat more than that in the morning
Get more vedge down you, don't be scared to eat more, as long as its proper food it will help your energy levels when you're training

Broke my arm a few months and lost a lot of fitness and put on some flab.
Tried insanity again last week but my arm isn't strong enough yet to be able to do the press ups without any pain.
So decided today to try hip hop abs and do some running until it heals fully. Hip hop abs is great fun (as long as no one watches). Very camp but a good laugh

Brazil/almond nuts, greek yoghurt, anything with peanut butter on it
I eat to fuel my workouts and to repair my body after a workout
Today ive not eaten as much as usual but ive had protein pancakes for breakfast (3 eggs/2 handfuls of oats/2 scoops of protein), a banana and some nuts just before my workout on lunch, now im half way through a feta cheese salad with bulgar wheat.

Started T25 this morning, two months of inactivity pretty much since I finished Insanity. Put half a pound back on during that time, which I kind of anticipated with holidays and the world cup, but I am still a stone lighter than before I started Insanity, so eager to push on now. Not going to set goals, I know if I do it properly then I will get there naturally.
After six minutes I was sweating like Rio in the training ground toilets (allegedly), after 12 I had drained half a pint of water and by 18 I was barely following the modifier. Hard start but looking forward to tomorrow, half the battle at first is getting your form back and knowing what moves are coming up. Bit cheeky that the warm down is an extra 2 mins on top of the much promoted '25' mins, but at least you know the 25 mins is pure workout.
Although T25's meal plan claims to be more simple to follow, I think I am actually more comfortable sticking with the meal ideas I discovered through insanity - 5 meals a day, 300 cals each, heavy on the protein, and I may add in some meal ideas from T25 as I go along and get more familiar with it. That said, does anyone see any notable drawbacks to me not following the prescribed T25 meal plan? Really tempted to go back onto a banana pre workout, workout, then a protein shake post workout for breakfast. Worked well for me with Insanity, I don't think the ideas in T25 are that different really.
Oh, and anyone know where sells Tilapia fish and tempeh in the UK, or suitable alternatives? Thinking just cod or something, and tempeh looks like tofu?

Keep starting and stopping this but started again monday from the start.
Will try and keep it going for longer then any of my other efforts, really need to sort my diet out as well.
Had so much help from lads on here and I set out to do well and then it all goes wrong, going shopping tonight and going with the intention of buying no crap and hopefully really giving this a go!
