If you get a copy of p90x, there are a couple of workouts therein that might come in handy. Back and chest is a workout that is very push-up and chin-up heavy; if you can hang with Tony Horton, you are getting where you need to be. Also, the Stretch workout is a really good off-day stretching routine. Same thing for the yoga DVD, although 90 minutes of yoga is a long damn time.

I will say that insanity workouts are like any other, they can be a major ass kicker if you put a lot into it. My wife does more of the Zumba/Insanity type workouts and honestly before she talked me into trying it I didn't think very highly of Insanity.
I attribute my recovery from a back injury partly to the core training that comes out of Insanity. It is also very useful if you have limited time and space to get in a quick workout.
