i would like to ask what kind of exercises i can do at home, without needing equipments and can be fun.?

i usually feel quite guilty if i do not exercise. especially on weekends(saturdays) when i tell myself i would go out to run at 5pm but never get down to do it, so i end up only doing it once per weekend or never at all. i like to tell myself that i would let myself rest for a day or two, but i always feel guilty about it, and would feel very uncomfortable with my body. here is my schedule as follows, with what activity i do each week: mondays: 6-7.30 i have physical training for my sports activity, which consists of running, doing chin-ups, sometimes circuit training or core training tuesdays: usually i am unmotivated to do any running or exercise. but occasionally i would do some running(when i am motivated to train for something) wednesdays: i usually have no time to do anything thursdays: i have got my canoe polo training from 2 to 5 pm fridays: i have badminton training from 3 to about 4.30 pm then here comes the weekends and i feel guilty for not going out to run. i have a feeling that i run because i want to lose weight and look good, but that is rather unmotivating as i do not see the results. i feel that i should have a more meaningful reason such as, trying to clock a faster timing, challenge my limits, and keep fit, right? could anybody share their experiences and thoughts about exercising? how should i motivate myself? and most importantly, what kind of exercises can i do at home, without needing any equipments and can be fun whilst doing? i would like to do some exercises at home so that i can maintain my fitness and feel more relaxed. i hope to cut down about 8kg, in how many months do you think i can achieve that? thank you for your answer, parsnipsalad. however, i think that as i am with my family and all that it would not seem appropriate for me to do belly dancing? it seems so in my family context, i am not kidding. so sorry, are there any other suggestions? by the way, i am 16 and i don't think i would want to follow any types of diet.

Try belly dancing! All you need is a good video, I suggest anything with Rania (you can find it on amazon.com) It's a really fun workout, it hardly feels like work! I LOVE it!
