Default Physique 57 or P90X2?

I know they are both completely different workouts, but I was thinking of investing in one them. I have heard that P90X2 does not have a dread factor and is actually a pretty good workout. Although, I have heard Physique 57 is a good one as well, again I realize that they are both different so I am trying to get some insight from those of you who have one or the other or both.

Thanks

Oh ladies, please help me out with this one. I don't have a lot of money and I want to use it wisely.

I have P57 - they are like Cathe's TurboBarre. I've never done P90X or 2, so I can't comment as to that one. IF you like Cathe's TurboBarre, then you might like Physique 57. I only got P57 because I injured my elbow & could do NO weight work at all, so it was the only leg workout I could do. I personally did not like the instructors' styles, but Cathe has me spoiled in that regard!

Ivy I don't have either one of these but they were selling Physique 57 on QVC today for $48 with 3 dvd's and a ball. Qvc also sells p90x2 for $129. That is a big difference in price so my opinion would be how much do you want to spend. I myself could not even complete a p90x so i would go for physique 57. That looks more my style.

I have completed P90X the original a while back, I heard the second version was not quite so intimidating, but it is good to know the prices of these items on QVC. Thanks.

I have both Volumes of Physique 57 and really enjoy these workouts. I have never done P90X, but I did STS for 10 weeks (stopped for medical reasons). I don't think I could do them alone for a period of time, as there are only 6 total, but that's just me...I tend to get bored easily. The music is very motivating, as well as the instruction. My favorites are Classic Volume 1, Express Volume 1, and Thigh and Seat Booster Volume 2, but they are all good. There is a nice cardio effect to the workouts as well, if you're looking for that.

I had P90X and sold it. It gets boring after a while and I actually developed tendonitis in my shoulder from the endless repetition of movement on that one. I see a greater opportunity for injury with P90X, as well. I much prefer STS. I know nothing of the P57 series, so can't speak to that.

If it were me, I would spend the money on STS

P57 almost put me to sleep and I just could not get into P90X.
