If you have access to a barbell/rack and weights, a really easy program is Pavel's Power to the People, 2 sets of 5 reps of deadlift and press (overhead), look it up it's easy and fast. Starting Strength has been mentioned I'm sure as well, very good book and the novice workout is also fast (3x a week for about an hour). Strength training is a very easy way to notice positive changes in your body and athletic ability, and is intrinsically motivating as you put more weight on the bar every time (assuming you enjoy the process, some do not).

CrossFit is another option for GPP if you are willing to pay the money and commit the time/intensity, CrossFit Calgary is an excellent facility with great coahces, but you are looking at $200ish a month.

6 pack/abs is entirely due to diet, cut out junky carbs like bread and sweets and eat a maintenance level of calories.
