If you need a Curves environment, do it! If you need a buddy, find one! Don't get sold on "I must belong or go somewhere", as you don't. If you have a TV, and a VCR or DVD player, you can do alot. Even without that, just get out and walk. Stretch. Do situps. Whatever- just move.
I agree wholeheartedly. Find what works for you. Start out at whatever level of intensity and duration that is comfortable and work up from there.
Even if it is only 10 minutes, it's a start. Keep at it and you will find you will find it gets a bit easier and you can go a bit longer (and faster). I now do a total of 40 minutes a day, six days a week, but I didn't start out like that.
