The best fitness routines are those you are passionate about and can easily add to your routines. You are more likely to stick to something that you enjoy. Since total health requires a workout for all aspects of our selves, a daily fitness routine must incorporate activities for your spirit and mind as well as your body.
Here is a top ten list of ways to stay fit in body, mind and spirit.
1. DAILY WALK
Walk daily. Research has shown that even five minutes of walking a day will boost metabolism, burn fat, and boost your mood. Walking will also get you outside, where you can enjoy nature and experience your neighborhood.

2. HYDRATE
Drink plenty of water. Your body is made of over 80% water. Water cleans your blood, floats your brain and burns fat! Drink plenty of fresh water every day.

3. HOME EXERCISE
There are many inexpensive options for home exercise. Depending on your interests you can purchase inexpensive equipment for improving muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, aerobic capacity, fat burning, core training and the like. I recommend an exercise ball, and yoga mats for stretching.

4. EAT LOCAL FRESH FOODS
Healthy eating is an important part of any fitness regime. You are what you eat; therefore you can only create the body you want when you fuel yourself with food that is good for you. Daily servings of vegetables, and food grown without pesticides are best.

8. SLEEP
Sleep is an often-overlooked component of a fitness regime. Yogis knew of its benefits and practiced "sleep yoga." Many of us do not sleep well, or sleep enough. Sleep is when your body grows, your body heals, and your mind dreams, relaxes and organizes. Sleep is an important component of any fitness regime.

9. STEAM AND SWEAT AND SOAK
Hydrotherapy has been used by many cultures worldwide to purify and cleanse. From Native American sweat lodges, to Scandinavian saunas, to California hot tubs. Indulge in water therapy to cleanse and refresh body and soul.

10. SCHEDULE TIME FOR YOURSELF
It is all too easy to let the demands of others interfere with our best of plans. Pencil in your fitness time and keep those appointments as conscientiously as you do all your appointments. A few minutes of meditation, breathing or walking will restore your energy so you can better address the tasks at hand.
