Best fitness advice I ever got: 1. Find a sport you like and enjoy 2. Have fun [often]
Absolutely. And if you work for yourself from home, and thus miss out on the social interaction of an office, team sports are a great way to unwind and mingle.

#12The secret is to make your own way there. It's good to be inspired by others, but trying to imitate them generally leads to disappointment.

I've considered this for the summer. I'm still deciding between swimming, climbing or thaiboxing. Do you know any other fun ones that might make you grow muscle?

#14I think this can be applied to students as well(or at least I've applied similar principles to my academic success.)

#15Regarding body workout:
No no no no no. If you are bodybuilding newbie, DO NOT start bodybuilding by reading articles from the web. Create your workout plan with your instructor, your gym should have one. Stay healthy.

This a thousand times
My 4/5 mile runs invariably turn into walks because I just dont have the motivation to push myself into carrying on a run, however I can happily sprint for 2 hours playing football.
I know they arent equivalent exercise, but my body can tell you I do a far lot more work during football without really noticing it while playing

There are plenty of set plans that will work for anyone starting out. Starting Strength, Strong Lifts, New Rules of Lifting etc.
Personally I tell people to steer clear of personal trainers. If only I could recount the amount of crazy (and sometimes dangerous) things I've seen them get their clients to do, all in the name of "getting fit". Stick to big compound movements like squat, bench and deadlift and that'll be more than enough past just the starting out stages.

I get the same thing from ice skating. I was so happy when I was told that an hour's ice skating was equivalent to a four mile run. Frankly, when I'm skating, I hardly notice.

Unfortunately gun shooting doesn't really grow much muscle.
