Usually keep myself fit with a combination of slow (fat burning) runs, some beastly sessions on the cross trainers and exercise bikes, and rowing machines.
Though I wouldnt spend that long on doing just those things you are.
Perhaps go for a steady run and every few minutes, drop and knock 20 good pushups out, come across a park bench, knock some tricep dips out. Sometimes the constantness is going to be better for building up your core strength and endurance, than just whacking a fast paced set of exercises out.
If any of that makes sense.
I'll find a good link thats easy enough to follow to get people into reasonable fitness, and more importantly a good mindset for phys which is also important.

Mental attitude during exercise will improve as you get fitter, but there will be a barrier you manage to break when you push yourself further (albeit slowly)
Just slowly but surely and keep up the positive thoughts.
