If all you want to do is stay slim and fit, you don't need to go anywhere near a gym or a program like P90X.
All you need to do is engage in regular cardiovascular exercise and ensure you have a diet and lifestyle that keep your calorie consumption and energy expenditure in balance. This can be done easily by playing sports, running, cycling: activities that get you outside, are sociable, and are way more fun than going to the gym or following a workout routine on your TV at home.
I can strongly recommend ultimate frisbee if you're looking for something that's fun, co-ed, and provides a fantastic workout. Couple that with an activity like rock climbing and you're getting a full-body workout with minimal bulk, and you won't spend all day inside with grunting steroid-jockeys. Also, you won't be stuck spending the rest of your adult life "maintaining" the excess (an unnecessary) muscle you've built.
