P90 is also known as Power 90. Its the less intense version of P90X. (its also about half the price :) )
Its still pretty dang hard....at least for me. Its a very quick pace of Cardio/Weight Lifting...about 40 minutes per session. There is some Yoga in it and a lot of stretching. I would not recommend P90X unless you are in really good shape already.

I've been doing Yoga for the last 4 years. I do it everyday. 30mins on work days and an hour or more on weekends and my day off. Now that the sun stays out later (daylight savings) I'm thinking of an hour a day. Anyway, you will definitely gain in flexibility and strength. You won't look artificial like gym rats or bodybuilders, but you will be fitter and leaner than couch potatoes, i.e. you'll look like a healthy, real person. I recommend Rodney Yee's videos. There's a bare minimum of "inspirational" stuff for the most part it's more like, "Here's some yoga. Let's do it." The Power Yoga series is especially good, but you might prefer to start with Yoga for Beginners and progress to the Power Series. Or dive right in. Just don't try to compete with Rod. If he goes into forward bend and clasps his wrists behind his ankles with his head touching his shins, don't try to do that. It will come with time. Just give yourself a good stretch and hold the pose as long as you can. Remember to breathe. Yoga is something that takes time and you will plateau in certain things. Just keep working and the results will come. Good luck.

I tried yogo in high school, I was the least flexible person in the group and I passed out twice. And that was when I was when I was in my prime so to speak. No yoga for me. ;)

"Least flexible of the group" means you were competing with others, which is a no-no. You just have to do what you can do and not push too hard, but set small goals. Give it another try. You WILL gain flexibility with regular practice. Go to yogajournal.com, there are a list of poses and modifications. Try them when you're just sitting around watching TV. It just takes time.
