Yeah, that’s a problem. I can imagine myself doing 5 or 10 minutes of calisthenics at home, but not 30 every day. The exercises (push-ups, squats, burpees, kettlebell stuff) tire me pretty fast, and get boring fast.
I can manage 30 minutes jogging, and find it fun, but I worry that my knees will break up if I do it too often. They hurt several days after a weekend of running a 5K and hauling stuff up flights of stairs couple months ago.
Everyone does, but that seems to involve either a gym membership or owning a barbell set.
Though thinking about my “5 minutes” comment above, I realized I’d forgotten about the Tabata workout routine. I can do push-ups, squats and two sets of kettlebell swings repeated twice in four minutes, and end up feeling like I’ve had an adequate quick workout. I’ll see if I can install this as a habit.

As always, I suggest lifting weights. http://lesswrong.com/lw/d7h/minimum_viable_workout_routine/
