Just make up your own routine and stick to it religiously
The vast majority of people who will benefit most from this kind of thing aren't really in a position to create their own routines - they need direction.While they probably have their faults an are a touch pricey, if it works and costs about the same as a few months gym membership (for people who don't really want to be seen in a gym), are they really that bad?

They wouldn't be bad at all if they worked but I'm yet to see ANYONE ever make one of these programs work at home.
I've seen it work for one person but then I only know one person doing P90X... so that's 100% success. 
I was quietly impressed (and I'm quite fussy).Any exercise done on your own at home is the one you're likely to give up the quickest.
Next up is the exercise you have to go out to do but still do on your own,ie training with weights without partner,aerobics etc.
Exercise you're most likely to stick with the longest? Anything you do in a friendly group (Pilates etc) or with a partner (weights etc).
See it's the social aspect of exercise that's actually the defining factor for most people,even if they don't know it.

Agree with this. Next up is the exercise you have to go out to do but still do on your own,ie training with weights without partner,aerobics etc.

What's your opinion of Insanity after doing it for the 60days? I'm contemplating doing it as I don't really want to shell out for the equipment needed for p90x.
Well, it's tough but does work. Like most of these things you get out what you put in. You have to push yourself in every single routine you do. It also takes quite a lot of willpower to keep at it, more so that P90X. The warm up alone is harder than most whole workouts in my opinion.I still try to do one Insanity workout a week and even though I'm a lot fitter now I still can't do all the exercises without having a break.
