Hi there,

Congratulations on your success with TurboFire, that's awesome! Great job.

As for p90x and Insanity, I've done both and I think either one could really do wonders for your push-ups. I couldn't do more than 1-2 before I started and both helped me tremendously (now I can go non-stop to about 50ish). I think there's a couple of things that you can consider and it'll probably come down to your personal preference. p90x has workouts that make you do a lot of push-ups, of various kinds, spread out over three months. Insanity also has a variety, in a different way, but it's only two months. Personally, I thought I got more out of Insanity because you're going hard and fast and you just do a ton of push-ups, while p90x is a bit lower intensity and the focus is on building muscles all over. So part of it may depend on how you feel about doing lots of cardio at the same time or using equipment/weights.

If you are hitting the Reserves, I would almost say Insanity is the way to go. It'll definitely up your push-up numbers, strengthen your core for sit-ups, and it'll really improve your overall endurance and conditioning. Plus, depending on how much time you have before the tests, Insanity will squeeze in more into less time.

Either way, both programs will help improve your numbers.

Hope that at least helps a bit!

Best of luck to you!

Yeah, I think both are good, but P90X will help with total upper body strength which will not only help with the push ups, but everything you do.

Insanity is great for the cardio though, so you might even want to consider a hybrid where you do the P90X strength training and the Insanity cardio, thereby getting the best of both worlds.

Best of luck!!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I have been battling the flu, but I think I have decided to start P90X come Monday morning!
