Despite what the mouse is doing above, lifting heavy weights is not a top priority in this top ten list. The priorities start with 1,2,3 and descend from there. Hopefully, you'll find something on the list and links that can work with your lifestyle.

I've discovered that getting fit can be fun too.

1. Sleep: If you don't get enough sleep your body can go to hell in handbasket. A good bed and good pillow is essential. Maybe, you might have to do some relaxation techniques before you go to bed. I find that a "hot toddy" or a "nightcap" also helps.
2. Relaxation: I've found that the sounds of rain and ocean waves can be very relaxing. Meditation can also help if you use techniques that really work for you.
3. Learn Something New Everyday: When our minds are challenged by the unknown or something new, it brings about a greater interest in life and self esteem. An old Indian said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
4. Intense Exercise: This is exercise that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat. Obviously, if you're not very fit, mild workouts would be the thing to do. A proper exercise program should be implemented with advice from a fitness consultant.
5. A Healthy Diet: This would include at least two glasses of water a day and lots of fruits and vegetables. Frequently, I drink a V8 juice to meet my veggie quota. Fish is a great source of omega three and nuts can be a good source of protein. If you eat too much fat or carbs, you have to exercise more to burn off the calories. 
6. Eating And Drinking Antioxidant Foods: This could be green tea, blueberries, and acai berry, but my personal favourite is pomegranate juice.
7. Saunas: Not only does sweating relax you, but it's also a good way for the body to clean toxins out of the fatty tissues. Saunas are used around the world from the Turks, to the Finns, to the Russians, to the Native Americans.
8. Developing A Good Sense Of Humor: Laughter is the best medicine for many conditions like stress and depression. You can find humor in just about every situation possible:(e.g. "Top Ten List Of Things To Do After You're Dead", "Top Ten List Of Fridge Magnets", "Top Ten List Of Newfie Sayings", etc).
9. Multivitamins: I'm not completely certain that food produced today has the same nutritional value as food produced 30 years ago. Therefore, I believe in megavitamins.
10. Speciality supplements like Garlic, Nopalea, Matol, and Ginseng. See a Doctor of Naturopathy before taking these supplements. What is good for the goose, may not be good for the gander.

We're living in a world where there is more than a thousand ways to die. It's also helpful to get divine protection against those things that could kill us or leave us chronically disabled, diseased and generally screwed up. Check out ww.prayway.com. You can't take health and well being for granted.

I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year.
