P90X = 1 hour everyday, rotating weight training, plyometrics, yoga, etc.

Except, that part of my workout lasts a little longer.
Same here.I'm a high school Cross Country runner so I never worry about how much I need to work out. It kind of just happens.
Running = Love
I try in put in at least 7 miles a day for 6 days a week.
Rotating weights scheduled, and some cardio on the treadmill on those days, depending on how I feel.
I try to bike on the weekend as well.

Seven days per week.
3-4 of those days playing basketball (often full court, I'm the guy that just tries to run around and past people)
4-3 of those days lifting (shoulders, biceps, triceps, chest, abs)
I'm also trying to eat healthily, but all the physical activity I do keeps my metabolism in hyperdrive, so that doesn't matter too much. I do want to take a body fat percentage count one of these times, but don't really know how...

I work out Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Generally, Monday I target my shoulders and chest, Wednesday my legs and Friday my core. Generally I start with bench presses then work down (probably not the best agenda but meh). Then Back, Shoulders, arms, abdominals, legs.
I've recently started getting into pushups and pull-ups/chin-ups again. You can do a lot with just chin-up bar.
I don't have the official names for all the exercises I do since I've gathered key manoeuvres over several years and didn't keep the names.
...and I try to get up and walk every day too. Walking is great cardio - albeit I'm just getting into a bit of parkour: Cool stuff!

tonight I got to the gym for a pretty routine workout for me. about a half hour of weights and 40 minutes on the bike plus some situps/pushups. If i can be consistent with that 3-4 times a week I'm fine with the amount of walking I do
The days where I'm by myself I run between 30 minute to an hour unless my coach tells us something different. It depends on how I feel that day. I also can't wait for the season to start!
I've been blessed/cursed with a high metabolism. I eat crap like a horse and can only rarely get my weight above 165 lbs (and yes my wife hates me for this). Ironically the only way for me to really put on weight is to start working out regularly.
I got up to 180 about a decade ago with a fairly regular and rigorous workout schedule and an active group of co-ops at IBM.
I'm just now getting back in the habit of going to the gym a few (2-3) nights a week I try to alternate between upper and lower body workouts with more of a concentration on upper-body since that's the area I'd like to see the most improvement. Every workout starts with at least 15 minutes of cardio and ends with a cooldown on the treadmills or bikes.
Abs and lower back are a must almost every time I'm there just because if I don't do those regularly I can sometimes have issues with my lower back, and with 2 kids under 4 I'm doing a lot of lifting and some chasing even on days I don't get to the gym.
I also get about 45 minutes - 1.5 hours mowing the lawn with a push mower every weekend.

Every morning is a 20 minute hard run followed by walking the rest of whatever circuit I've come up with back to work. Then I alternate pyramid weighted sit-ups and leg lifts each day.
If my legs are overworked (like this week), I alternate ellipitcal and off days instead of the daily running

4 to 5 miles of walking every morning. I have a repaired MCL, ACL, and PCL in my left knee so jogging is too high impact any more, but I do what I can.
Usually a run. I try and get out 5 days a week. The other two days are occupied with a bike ride.
The run can last anywhere from 35 to 75 minutes. The bike rides are usually in in the range of 120 to 180 minutes.
I find the bike generally easier then running which is why I go longer on it.
