It’ s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world—but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes.Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.
Highly Sensitive
Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed.Additionally,they may feel more upset about an ineffective or a poor workout,says researcher Elaine Aron.
For such people,individual or non-competitive activities like biking,running and hiking are ideal.
Type A Personality
Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise.This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive.However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine,which means they might try to push past an injury.
To get better exercise results,Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress.They should be more flexible and listen to their body,especially when they are in pain.
Type B Personality
This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan,which prevents them from seeing results.They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals,especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.
Type B individuals succeed in creative and cooperative environments,so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.
Remember,there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs,regardless of your characteristics.Just keep in mind what you like.
