I don't do QS and I don't know where to start.

Buy a pedometer and get some paper/index card and pen.

Make sure you put the paper and pen in a convenient location near your bed.

Set a goal, and wear your pedometer everywhere you go. Try to reach your daily goal. Once you go to bed, record your steps for the day. When you wake up, you repeat the whole process.

I've just returned to school and I'd not have time nor opportunity to go walking for an appreciable length time except on weekends.

One friend of mine simply sprinted between every class. Seemed to help his fitness!

also generates free time! generally just trying to walk between classes as fast as possible is probably good, if sprinting seems too scary.

Have a break between classes? Take a turn around the building. Tried this for a week, felt a little silly but I actually felt somewhat better.
