How do you keep up with your fitness routine?

I want to lose some weight in the area from my hips to my waist. Whenever i’ve tried to do so before, I always forget untill the most unopertune times.. So I have two questions..
1. What should I do to lose this weight?
2. How do you remind yourself, and keep up your fitness routine?

What is a good but simple fitness routine that someone can do at home?

Hi, I’m 17 and kinda thin and I’ve decided that this summer I would build up some muscle…
I don’t live close to any good gyms so I’ll only be able to go to one occasionally…
What’s a good but simple fitness routine that can be done at home to build up some muscle? Thanks…

How do I start a fitness program based on ‘skipping’?

I run/jog most days of the week, but recently felt like a change and saw this as a way of adding some variety to my fitness routine.

Approximately how many minutes a day should I start off with? I tried to do it continuously for about 10, but found I cold only manage 5 – it is so strenuous, but also fun!!
