Insanity®
You guys try Insanity yet? It's from Beach Body the makers of P90X and man it's tough! My wife and I are on week 5 and it's producing the results big time. The workouts are super tough, all cardio and mostly based on the squat movement plus plenty of other Plyo movements.
We've both done P90X in the past and loved it too and this one is just as tough!

This shit doesn't play, ive thrown up 3-4 times doing this. It's INSANE. beats P90x, if you want results, try this for just 1 week and you will notice them. Worth downloading for sure. Just takes some dedication to it.

i did it for about a month last year. its no walk in the park, be prepared to sweat more sweat than you though possible and to be pretty much physically exhausted every time you do it. i will say that while i was doing the program i felt like i had more energy through out the day

Ya it's a great and super challenging program, tomorrow ends week 5 for the wife and me. Week 5 is called the "recovery week" hahahah, ya freaking right! Their idea of recovery is 6 straight days of 35 minute cardio/plyo sessions leaving me with sweat dripping off my finger tips. My 7 yr old said "Daddy, it looks like you just got out of the shower!"
I'll say this about P90X vs. Insanity - I never needed a head band to absorb all the sweat for P90X, I do for Insanity. It's just....more. I can't wait to see how I look in 4 more weeks! I'll definitely post some pics when it's all said and done. No equipment necessary too which is great for some people especially people in apartments or with no extra cash to spend on stuff. I do use push up bars but that's just because of a right wrist tendon problem but Sarah doesn't use anything at all.

Since you mentioned apartments, is there a lot of high impact jumping? Just wondering if I would annoy people downstairs. Also would I need a lot of space?

id say you definitely need a good amount of space, for the shuffling drill you need at least three lateral steps to your left and right from the middle of the room, if i recall correctly. i would also say that there is a good amount of jumping involved as well, especially on plyo days, might not be the greatest program if you live on the 3rd floor =p. just my two cents, like i said before its been awhile since ive dont it so take my advice with a grain of salt !

Yes, lots and lots of jumping, spinning around while jumping, jumping jacks, running in place, etc.

depending on how "big" you are. You should take it easy on workouts like this. Even P90X, you can hurt your self with some over their routines.
Im 280 and starting P90X soon as i atleast drop 15 or so from diet and just walking everyday. Diet play a big part on P90X. So if you improve that before you even start, your in good track. Same with Insanity. Insanity is hellweek compare to P90X. make it seems like a walk in the park.

Agreed, if you're quit a bit over weight or haven't been at all physically active in a long time you should consider starting out by just cleaning up your diet and maybe jogging or running for a few weeks-few months to get your body used to some impact.
