This can be done easily by playing sports, running, cycling: activities that get you outside, are sociable, and are way more fun than going to the gym or following a workout routine on your TV at home.

I can strongly recommend ultimate frisbee if you're looking for something that's fun, co-ed, and provides a fantastic workout. Couple that with an activity like rock climbing and you're getting a full-body workout with minimal bulk, and you won't spend all day inside with grunting steroid-jockeys. Also, you won't be stuck spending the rest of your adult life "maintaining" the excess (an unnecessary) muscle you've built.

Regular exercise, doing something fun that you enjoy, with a good lean diet weighted heavily on vegetables, fruits and grains. Nothing will beat that.
