I want a daily exercise routine without having to use equipment?

I would like to improve my physique and have a BMI within healthy levels. I want to know any decent routine for building muscle mass and toning but one that doesn't require using barbells, dumbbells or such equipment. I walk for about an hour a day and also include push-ups and crunches but I cannot shift that last layer of fat to get a six pack. Ideas I have had include daily yoga and some army-type 10 minute work-outs. I would like a routine that can be repeated daily so does not target specific muscle groups i.e. overall fitness and bodyshaping routine. Thanks. Additionaly: An exercise that I do not have to travel to or seek an instructor. I will be starting thai boxing soon after a long wait but I can do many of these exercises at home now.

1. I tried "Tae-Bo" for 6 months, and had very good results with my waistline, and really toned up all over. I ate protein meals, monitored my fat and sugars. Walking a hour a day is one of the best things you can do for your body! Dancing is another overall body shaper! Good Luck, sounds like you are almost there.
2. Running and swiming are good ideas
3. you need to wt train also sorry
4. If you want to bulid mucle, then do work-out every single day. Your body needs rest to build muscle. Here's an example of a work-out routine : Sunday - pushups, pull-ups, body braces, etc. Monday - cardio Tuesday - calf raises, jump rope Wednesday - day off Thursday - pushups, pull ups, body braces, etc. Friday - cardio Saturday - day off
5. Believe it or not what you're doing is enough. That last little bit won't leave because of diet. Six pack abs is 80% diet. Look into various fat loss diets and pick one that works for you. Your work out routine sounds fine but adding yoga will help your overall fitness even more. The most common complaint among elderly citizens isn't that they can't make it up the stairs because their out of shape, its that they cant reach down and tie their shoes because they arent flexible enough.

7. My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days. On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home. The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better! Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results. Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated. Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!
8. you can try tai-chi... it is a soft exercise and I think that you reach the overall bodyshaping. :)
