I firmly believe there is at least one exercise out there for everyone; there's a lot of choice besides gym work and jogging.
Maybe try something that has an interesting or cultural element to it, something you would benefit from mentally as well as physically. Martial arts, for example, offer a great workout as well as the opportunity to learn something new and feel more mentally, dare-I-say spiritually balanced.
The main thing to remember though is that exercise gets easier. It might not be fun to start with but as you make progress and see yourself improving you will get a boost to your self-esteem as well as your fitness. Also, endorphins are your friend: even if you've just attempted a workout from hell, endorphins will be waiting for you at the end!
I'm currently taking lifesaving classes. I had to maintain my fitness outside the pool. I struggle with balance and coordination, so I started Taekwondo which is a Korean martial arts whose main techniques are kicks. It helped me to control my anger, mostly frustration and boredom-induced meltdowns.
Of course, I strongly agree with Kovu. When you practice a sport, the most important is fun. If it's not there, motivation is nonexistent.
