How to Match Your Workout to Your Personality. You're a true individual -- why shouldn't
your workout regimen reflect your personal style? When it comes to getting fit, you just
gotta be you! You will need Self-awareness and desire to exercise. While this video is
awesome, it didn't go to medical school. Always consult your doctor for actual medical advice.
Step 1. Classic type-A personality? Embrace that can-do spirit! Sign up for an intense
spin class, or for power or Bikram yoga. Hone your inner gladiator through martial arts
training, or by joining a competitive amateur sports team. If you’re really hardcore,
pack yourself off to fitness boot camp. Step 2. Perhaps you’re a social butterfly -- more
schmoozing than sweating. Get a workout partner for walk, runs, bike rides, or tennis games,
or sign up your office for a softball league. Step 3. Maybe you’re the indoors type: You
only run when chased, and the gym just brings to mind painful middle school memories. Bond
with other merry misfits by joining an ironic kickball, dodgeball, or office-chair polo
league. Or take part in a LARP (live-action role-playing) battle. Step 4. Nature nut?
Honor the Earth Mother by trail running or hiking in the hills. Center your breathing
-- and your chakras -- on a fitness retreat, or feel the flow in a trace dance class. Don’t
forget to spread the love -- get certified to teach Pilates or yoga. Step 5. Too spontaneous
to settle into a routine? Break through boredom with cross-training, switching up your workouts
every other day. Or hop on the trendy train with whatever fitness craze is of the moment.
Step 6. Maybe you're just really, really lazy. Start with baby steps -- without leaving your
couch. Play video games that get you moving, or follow along with TV shows designed to
get you healthy. You gotta start somewhere! Did you know Studies show exercise not only
promotes better sleep, memory, and creativity, but it also can lead to better sex -- for
both men and women.
