Before the last back injury, I was actively engaged in P90X with a program of walking/running. The program was highly intensive and very rewarding, plus it wasn't a horrible time commitment. Also, P90X provided a focus on diet/nutrition and core strengthening. This part is CRITICAL to preventing injuries. They also encourage "working at own pace", so you get stronger. At my strongest, I was able to do 75 sit ups and the walking in 28:30. I wasn't allowed to do the push ups/run on the APFT because of the nature of the injury, but I was able to outperform some of our runners without ever breaking into a running pace.

Most of the "Beachbody" workouts are great because they do focus on hard work over "easy solutions", and making sure that the journey is rewarding.

P90X had worked for me, but it is time intensive. 1 to 1.25 hours daily (if you follow the complete program), not including shower and cleanup. I stopped doing it because I will either have to get up way earlier then I need to, or burn up my evening personal time doing it.

I find I get more out of running the 1.5 miles to the train, then stopping at the gym for a workout before work. At least the shower and hot tub are in the same place.

Insanity provided me with the best and fastest results.

P90X3 is a pretty great program, it's also not as time intensive as the original P90X, I think it goes down to 20 or 30 min a workout. It's also pretty easy to find as a download.

I always prefer resistance training with weights. If I didn't have any weights, I could accomplish plenty with resistance bands and creativity.

P90X and the Shaun T workouts are usually pretty good. Plus you can always look online for body weight exercises that require little to no equipment.
