Different people find different things interesting. Sitting in a gym has never really been my thing so I try to make small workouts out of little things I have to do anyway, for example when I carry the groceries into the apt I'll hold it away from my body which takes away my leverage and makes it take some effort. Other than that I mostly just train against my bodyweight push-ups, pull-ups and the like. For me, it's something that's always in the back of my mind - I just fit it in whenever I can, it's not something I schedule x times a week for x hours. I enjoyed training martial arts a while ago, but I can't afford to pay membership anywhere right now. Training in grappling can be a very effective form of strength training if you put time into it. In general competitive athletics are usually more interesting than just lifting/running but require a few other interested people and some planning so it's not as simple either.
Of course adding muscle is a pretty difficult process compared to losing weight and diet plays a big part in it as well. There's a lot of people here I'd guess who could give more detailed information on that subject. I just try to eat a lot of everything especially meat, and that works for me.
But the best thing I can tell you is just not to be a lazy person. The kind of person who will drive around a parking lot three times to save themselves walking 20 feet, is just asking to be out of shape. If you look at something that takes physical effort as an opportunity rather than a pain in the ass, then you don't need to spend as much time doing things just for the sake of working out.
