Below is the new home for the P90X workout schedule in wiki form after being taken off of Wikipedia. Enjoy.
P90X Workout Schedules
The workout can be modified into the "lean" version aimed primarily at women which substitutes most of the strength training with cardio and stretching. The program can also be modified into an even more strenuous "doubles" version aimed at athletes looking to get back into competitive shape by combining the classic P90X workout plan with a Cardio X session starting in phase two during each strength training day.

Exercise breakdown
The "classic" version of the program requires 13 weeks of 6-day workouts with an optional stretch on the seventh day. On most of the weeks, Days 1, 3, and 5 of the workout are strength-training for various parts of the body like biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, and legs. On these days, a 16-minute Abs session is included after the regular workouts. Days 2, 4, and 6 are for the cardio-related exercises: plyometrics, yoga, and kenpo, respectively.
The program begins with three weeks of the same six days of exercises repeated every week. Weeks 5 through 7 are similar to weeks 1 through 3 except that some of the strength training routines are different. Weeks 9-12 then alternate between the exercises from weeks 1-3 and 5-7. Weeks 4, 8, and 13 are designated "rest" weeks which don't include strength training but instead consist entirely of the cardio-related exercises with core synergistics and stretching added in as well.
