At your height and weight, you probably won't see much results. You need to add weight training. In all honesty, you should probably stick to what you're doing, and maybe add some olympic weight lifting. I think that a total body heavy lifting regiment will yield great results with you. Also, up your caloric intake. Your protein and fat intake needs a huge boost as well.

Proper weightlifting is what you need. Doesn't need to be Olympic style...just true weight regiment.

No insanity
No P90x

And most importantly...absolutely no crossfit

I'd avoid insanity if I were you. I have done insanity before. You must be incredibly lean to have that little weight at 5'10. You aren't going to add muscle/size on insanity. I added a little, but I was over 180 @5'6/32" waist when I started

I saw real gains when I started lifting heavy. I've gone from 152 in March to 165 right now and I've lost a little more fat and waist is 29".

You need to hit the weight hard. You either have a 27" waist already or 12" arms.

Congrats on the weight loss.

These video are such a huge gimmick. Using people that are allready fit/musclar. When the brain see those people, your brain is in o i want that video and want to look like them... the same for alot of these fat burner/ lean pill ads. They show a before and after. Those people are body builder on their off season and then on their on season. If you know about body building when on off season they want to gain weight, to be bigger on on season.

Though I don't disagree that there's a lot of misdirection in the fitness industry, P90X looks to be a genuinely fun way to keep cardio and plyometrics interesting for beginners, both of which have been a corner stone of healthy living ever since we stopped having to chase our meals.

You have to be realistic about your goals though, and look at the before/after models that are "regular folk" in the video for inspiration, not the professional athletes they hired to demonstrate the moves.

I dropped 25 lbs doing T25 6 days a week and cleaning up my diet a bit. My diet wasn't terrible to begin with but it's better now. My weight loss seems to have peaked though, which is fine by me - I'm in pretty good shape now and it's sustainable.
