Which Exercise Personality Type Are You?

“Fitness looks different on everyone, and each of our bodies respond to exercise in a different way.”

New Year’s come and go, and so do resolutions. The only thing that remains consistent in everyone’s mind is how to maintain fitness.

It’s a good habit, especially after the pandemic when people have become extra cautious about their eating, drinking, and overall lifestyle routines.

Despite age and health, people keep trying different exercises, and most of them fail. The reason is not being able to understand and keep up with the workout routines.

One way to resolve this is to analyze your body’s requirements and determine how much time you can give to exercise every day. This way, you can create a tailored workout plan that suits your needs and schedule.

In this fun article, I am providing tips and advice on how to create a personalized workout plan that fits your lifestyle.

The Competitive Type

Have you seen that one guy or girl who comes to the gym at 5 a.m. and is actually not a trainer? I am sure you haven’t seen them because others only come during peak hours. They are the ones who push themselves to the limit and strive for greatness.

They have set a goal, and they accomplish it because of self-discipline. They are generally the ones who also apply the same habit to everything else they do in life. They love to challenge themselves as well as participate in various workout challenges.

We are all jealous of them and always wonder, How the hell are they able to be so perfect?

If you are the one who fits this type, then congratulations! You are the type of personality who is an inspiration to us all, and we admire your dedication.

The Social Type

The ones who love greeting everyone and chatting during workouts are the social types. You are the social butterfly who loves to exercise in groups or with friends. After all, participating in a physical activity becomes even more enjoyable when done with like-minded people.

Exercise is also a great way to meet interesting people, and sharing similar interests motivates everyone in the group to keep going. Exercise together helps to build a sense of community and support.

The beginner marathon runners and people who join Zumba classes or cycling classes belong to the social type.

The Solitary Type

Then there are others who have set a goal for themselves, have a busy routine, and do not want to be disturbed by anyone. Though you may not call yourself a solitary type or an introvert, in order to maintain focus, it’s always better to create a peaceful and uninterrupted environment.

If you belong to this type of exercise personality, then you prefer to exercise alone. You find the best time in the gym when there are fewer people, so you don’t have to struggle to find empty equipment.

Sometimes, while listening to music during a workout, you also tend to reflect on important professional and personal decisions that need to be made. It helps clear your mind and find clarity in making those decisions.

You love to engage in solo activities like running, hiking, or yoga. It allows you to focus on yourself and recharge your energy.

The Routine-Oriented Type

Staying consistent and following a routine is the most difficult for many people, but if you belong to this type, then you love to stick to a schedule. It is a great way to build discipline and stick to it, and it is this first step that every beginner should follow.

Create a simple, 10-minute workout that suits your health and lifestyle, and do it every day. It may seem simple, but it can lead to significant improvements in your overall fitness and well-being.

People who are routine-oriented stick to one type of exercise, following the step-by-step instructions they create for themselves. They also prefer to do repetitive activities and improve on them over time.

The Adventurous Type

Do you like indulging in a variety of physical activities including outdoor sports? Do you also tend to exercise indoors with simple everyday objects?

Then you are like me. I get easily bored, and I am the opposite of the routine-oriented type. I love variety in everything, from food, work, clothes, hobbies, and even workouts. I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself.

I can tell you about five different ways of climbing stairs and ten modified versions of pushups. That is why I am so good at teaching dance to toddlers because their attention span is limited and I keep them engaged with a variety of different moves.

This year I have already planned to go camping, which is a wonderful way to connect with nature, go hiking, stay healthy, and learn some basic survival tactics.

Conclusion

These are the basic exercise personality types, and each one has its own style and way of exercising. The motive for understanding your workout type is to stop comparing yourself to others.

If an exercise or diet trend doesn’t suit you or makes you feel lethargic instead of energetic, then it’s always better to try something else. But this does not mean that the gym guy or girl with six-pack abs is better than you.

Your fitness and mental health are unique because of various factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, and personal goals. Consistency is required for each exercise type, and progression is key to seeing results and achieving your fitness goals.
