Muscular Endurance workout

Weight Lifting, try bodybuilding.com for info.. Usually 3-5 sets of any weight I can do 8-10 reps of, like in pyramids. If you shorten your inbetween breathing time between sets its a real sweat breaking workout that leaves you drained. You can also try, Pull ups (one of the best overall exercises), pushups, crunches, dips, farmer carries, lunges, all in combination workout to really kill all muscles and increase activity quickly.
Take a look at www.crossfit.com
Try bench pressing a empty bar 100 times. That is what we did in football weight training to build endurance
I use a combination of heavy lifting and higher reps. 6-8-10 for heavy, and 12 and up for light weights. Push-ups and dips are done for high reps, and of course, pull-ups. It's just not a day without any pull-ups.
I have a pretty good balance of strength and endurance, though the latter has been stagnant as of late.

P90X my friend! Good ol' push, pull, jump and some weights. A little expensive but better than any gym I've ever been in. My wife is happy

I saw that on TV and it peaked my interest.

It all depends on what your goals are. There are a lot more resources at any respectable gym than what is called for in P90X. If you are looking to get bigger and stronger, P90X isn't going to get you there. It's a good program, though.
I took some yoga classes at the gym I was a member at and got into the advanced class. That style was Ashtanga Yoga, not your relaxing type of work out. I have never worked any harder at fitness and it will build your body and endurance. This is sometimes referred to as power yoga or Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It is important to have an instructor proficient at the practice. Men were the minority in this class but that was never a bad thing.

You do yoga in P90X. If you ever want to feel totally powerless, yoga will give you a good kick in the gonads!
+1 on cross fitt, also, precision nutrition is great - but you have to pay a membership fee (which I havent - have bought some books by them though).
Training systems is like jeans - they're all made from the same ingredients but each brand have different priorities between training frequency, repetitions, sets, rests etc. However, like jeans, none will be as good as one customized to your body and taste.
A good training system should include both the physical aspect, mental (rest, motivation) and nutrition that takes into account your weaknesses and needs.
This can only be served by a good trainer for at least several months unless you want to spend a lot of time reading books on physical conditioning, nutrition and motivational techniques.
To make sure training will improve your condition and not hurt you, consult with your doctor and get cardio-vascular evaluation.
