He also recommends the book Spark, JFish, which details positive benefits to getting out of breath daily. I bought the e-book and it tells how such exercise increases intelligence (new movement = new neural paths - one reason I do all of this sheeite!).
As for P90X I was grooving on the synergy and integration of the program (the yoga, karate, core and jump training all have overlapping stances, torso work and integrated movements). Even the karate kicks have overlap in other workout such as the plyometric (jump training) DVD.

I think I counted 300 different exercises in the entire program, many overlapping with others on other DVD's in the set. So if you do follow the program, you get at least as many movements as a very busy professional dancer would get, and with considerably more resistance work. The infomercials kind of cheapify the program. The non-weight workouts are the best, but the weight and pushup-pullup workouts are good too. They have a diet and supplement program, but I didn't do that.
