I'm on day 63 of the program,
and yes ARX is the hardest 16 minutes I've ever done.

You are doing 25 reps of 13 different moves - one after the other.

  If I hear that middle-aged douche Tony Horton talk about muscle confusion on my TV one more time, I'm taking a hostage.

fitness exercise program supposed to lean you out in 90 days, includes light dumbell and bodyweight exercises done in a circuit fashion, "yoga" days, etc. claims to use the "muscle confusion" principle to avoid plateaus.

Seems to be the fad these days.. All advertising.

For neophytes of exercise, I think P90X is actually pretty legitimate.  At least its honest about putting in hard work and sweat to achieve results, unlike most infomercial weightloss adds.

heavy weight lifting 3 times a week is much more effective in terms of body composition

sure, even Tony admits lifting weights builds bigger muscles, but it won't get you in better
cardio or athletic shape - unless you train in a circuit style method.. I guess similar to how Milos
does it.

With P90X, there's no reason to get on a bike or treadmill.  If you do the program properly, you are
well into your aerobic and even anareobic zones for most of the hour long workout.

I finished the program back in Mid-April.  I lost about 8 lbs.  I got leaner, but I was much harder.
I'm back to lifting heavy and I'm looking to add on at least 5lbs of muscle before trying it again.

as for the weights, they don't have to be light per se.  You determine how many reps you want to do ahead of time, 6-8, 8-10, 12-15, so the weight can be moderately heavy, although you may need to save some in the tank, because you may be doing it again in another round, and you don't want to burn yourself out.  It's not a bbing program for sure - unless you're just starting out, but you can get fitter with it.

Yes, Stretch X is one hour. works the whole body from the neck to the ankles.

Yoga is 90 minutes, essentially broken into 3-30 minute categories:
Astongas - downward dogs, and warrior poses
Balance postures
Stretching/Ab work

My point is this: losing weight is absolutely no problem, you just have to create the apropriate deficit. What's important is to ensure optimal body composition on a cut (preserving as much muscle mass as possible). And for that, heavy weight training is much more effective than any form of cardio.

Is the stretching/yoga stuff something worth working in to a weekly routine?
