It is for anyone that wants to do it! But be prepared to sweat like you have never sweated before!

Insanity is good. But, you have to stick to it and remain motivated throughout the days and months.

Not sure if you have signed up to the gym or just want to do home workouts. But, body weight exercises incorporated with the free weights may be a good start.

...from your pictures. You don't look too bad anyway. I'm a bulker. I like size rather than the athletic slim look.

So, may not be much help there.

Good luck to you bro!

I inherited one of those last year. It's very useful.

My dad uses it to pull down the loft ladder which he can't quite reach!

Chance of me being able to lift my bulk? Zero. Completely zero. Not even 0.000000000001%!

What's a good workout for home ? 30 mins to an hour a night, no weights or anything, will push ups and crunches etc make any difference or do you really need to get into it? I'm not over weight just need to tone up but not much time, want to start swimming again too but not done it for years, will I cramp up?

yes you can tone up fine on body weight exercise and go at your own pace and trick is to keep it up

You dont have to tighten it. It hangs off the door frame. No screws or nothing

Get one that hooks to the frame instead of fastening at either end. Never had a problem with one

I've done Insanity and the two follow ups - Insanity Asylum vol 1 and 2.

Very good workouts.

No weights are needed, it's all body weight moves and the option is usually there to make it a bit easier.

Be prepared to sweat a lot, it's not an easy workout.

If you stick with it and eat correctly the results will be there in 2 months. Carry on with it after the 2 months.

Well done for choosing it!

Agreed, I'd always value compound lifts over isolation work wherever possible.

I'll third the compound mantra , for Mr or ms average no need for isolation moves , in fact they are counter productive and cause injury if not performed correctly x

I would suggest instead of insanity which has a time and place , you buy a book that explains the fundamentals regarding training your body for strength health and fitness . This should give you a holistic /wide overall understanding of what you wish to achive other than snippet sound bite suggestions , which may be counterproductive if you chose the wrong advice xx
