Personality Fitness

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with fitness. It isn't that I am opposed to it. I have no great issues with working up a sweat. My struggle has been in finding fitness routines or programs that can keep my attention. Today I ran across an article on Personality Fitness. I read the descriptions for all and felt I best fit into the 1st and 5th fitness types:

Fitness Personality No. 1: Action and Adventure

Bored by routine workouts
Spends as much time as possible outdoors
Prefers the trail to the treadmill
Usually competitive when it comes to sports
Exercises for the adventure and/or social experience

Fitness Personality No. 5: Easy Does It

Avoids the gym
Uncomfortable exercising in groups
Prefers low-impact fitness routines
May be working around old sports injuries or other health concerns (such as back pain, etc.)
Exercises to build resilience, stability and self-confidence


There were exercises listed that definitely appealed to me and some that I had never heard of before which I plan to look further into.

What is your fitness personality?

It's so hard to leave....until you leave.

“And as paralyzing and upsetting as all the never agains were, the final leaving felt perfect. Pure. The most distilled possible form of liberation. Everything that mattered except one lousy picture was in the trash, but it felt so great. I started jogging, wanting to put even more distance between myself and school. It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.” ― John Green , Paper Towns

We should all strive for this

  Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself. Source:  The Parent's Tao Te Ching
