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?

Go lightly

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it's the best advice ever given me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly."

The truth

  “We tell ourselves we don't speak the truth because we don't want to hurt others, but it's far more likely that we don't want to bear the consequences of our choices. We tell a white lie to a friend that we're "busy" the night they ask us to do something when we don't feel like going. We don't tell our partner we're mentally and emotionally checked out of our marriage, not because it will hurt them, but because of the consequences of this choice. We don't flag the problem at work because we'll be tasked with the solution. The stories we tell aren't protecting others. They're protecting ourselves. ” -Shane Parrish
