Default Slim in 6 workout OR P90X? Which one would you recommend?

So, I'm starting to get into workout dvd's right now. I'm looking for a pretty intense workout for a specific length of time (like 6 weeks or 90 days). Either "Slim in 6" or "P90x." I need to lose weight and tone up. I know that P90x seems to bulk people up a bit, but I figured I would go easy on the weights. Anyone ever finish the program? My ultimate goal is weight loss.

I love the Jackie Warner "Workout" dvd and one that was recently recommended by Kat "Element the Mind Body Experience - Ballet Conditioning." (thanks Kat!) They are both fantastic. Very big on squats! Legs will be sore....

Just to give you an idea- I don't like annoying dvds with super perky people and unecessary talk. I did not like "Turbo Jam" at all. I need dvd's that move quickly. I'm not too big on kick boxing or bubbly cardio sessions. I never liked taking aerobics classes at gyms, just to give you an idea.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Go with Slim SERIES. More challenging than Slim in 6, but not quite as challenging as P90x.

Kat- nevermind- I found it on the Beach Body website.

Would you mind going into a little detail of why you like Slim Series over P90x for weight loss? thanks a lot

I like them both, and they both will produce weight loss. I've never done a P90x rotation - it requires a base level of fitness that I don't have yet.

Probably before I tried P90x, I'd have to do at least one round of Power 90 Masters before moving onto P90x. P90x and P90x+ are probably some of the hardest video series on the market.

Anna, did you ever get P90x? I'm watching it on QVC, right now, and am really tempted to do a rotation of it...

Hey Kat, what's going on?

I saw it last night too, and now I'm really tempted.... Now that I've seen more of the exercises, it looks a lot more appealing. Definitely challenging, but in a good way.

I got the Slim Series as you had suggested, and I've finished my first week. I like it, but I could use more. So, maybe P90X should be next for me. I'm not into floor work at this time, and Slim Series does quite a bit (hopefully P90X doesn't do too much).

I'm still really interested in the Kettlenetics.

If you decide to do the P90X and want a partner, let me know, and I"ll get it too.... (by the way, I saw a "cheap" version of this on Craigslist).

Yeah, I could go for a P90x rotation after next week (I'm fighting some kind of bug, and have to go out of town next week.)

There isn't a 'ton' of floorwork in P90x for legs, but quite a bit for core stuff, as I recall.

Now that I think of it, I might do a Power90 Masters Rotation, instead of a full P90x rotation. (both Tony Horton)

Power 90 Masters isn't 'quite' as hard as P90x, but it's tough.

BTW, just suck it up and do the floor work in SS...it's good for you. If you put your own music on, the time goes by in a flash.

Re: kettlenetics
I STILL haven't had 2 seconds to look at it, yet.
