I have been doing this routine for a few months now and it still kicks my rear end. I can actually keep up with most of the workouts now with minimal pausing of the videos and my reps are actually getting near some of the people training in the videos.
It really is a great all-around workout, but don't skimp on the dietary portion of it! The diet is a huge part of your results when doing this because you are really busting rear end in a lot of these workouts.
Also in the strength training portions if you lift heavy and go for max reps on the bodyweight exercises you will see awesome gains in strength. I have a set of PowerBlock dumbbells and they work great for this. You can use the dumbbells as pushup bars which really do help in your gains doing the pushups. The extra range of motion really gets a good stretch across your chest.
All that being said god drat that yoga routine. It is still the one routine that I struggle with. Yoga is no joke.
Edit: Just wanted to add that as far as supplementation goes I would get a quality protein powder like ON 100% or Syntha-6, a good multivitamin like Animal Pak, a BCAA supplement, and a micronized creatine monohydrate powder.
That is going to cover most everything that they push in the P90X videos like the recovery drink and will be cheaper overall than their supplement products.
