Its always a good idea to get a checkup from a doctor before exercising. I didn't exercise for almost 3 yrs, so I wasn't toned. I managed to do the Insanity workout - sweat like a pig, took breaks and didn't do a couple of the moves. Honestly saw results starting after 3 days.
Sure biking, swimming and walking like you're late for 40 mins will help. Weights will also build muscles the fastest. I have free weights and hold them while doing the lunge and one leg chair sit. The Insanity workout uses the Interval training - you build up to intense aerobics, then get a 30 second break etc. I got tired of feeling weaker, so I just dove into it. Good luck.
