If you think it is a predominantly cardio program, can I assume you haven't done it? The entire program is based on resistance training... pushups, pullups, squats/lunges, and situps. I'm not saying it doesn't involve cardio... but it is certainly not the focal point.The bars and shakes are the ONLY way I could do the program. Even with them it was still a challenge everyday to eat the amounts they require.The protein bars and shakes are a waste of money for those doing this program. If you need to lose weight, then you don't need the bars and shakes. If your thin and looking to pack on muscle then P90X isn't what you want, look into strength building programs like High Intensity Training (HIT) and those used by powerlifters. With the thin body you won't need bars and shakes till you have put on a lot of muscle. P90x is predominately a cardio program.
ETA - their diet is easily worthy 50% of the credit for the program's results.
