Find Your Fitness Passion
If the thought of working out makes you feel exhausted, then
maybe you haven’t found the right activity for you.
Finding your passion for fitness all comes down to
experience, so ask yourself the following questions to find what best interests
you.
Where are you most
happy?
Think about where you spend most of your leisure time – are
you out and about, do you soak up the sun or do you prefer the comforts of
home? While nature lovers may gravitate towards activities like hiking, biking
or rock climbing, those who prefer being indoors may enjoy working out in the
gym or fitness class.
What’s your
personality type?
Are you motivated by others, prefer one-on-one engagement or
enjoy time alone? Understanding your personality type may help you find
activities that you enjoy, and are more likely to stick with.
Introverts are more drawn towards activities that involve
high levels of concentration, with a focus on individual performance. These
activities include swimming, weight training, cycling or hiking. Contrarily,
extroverts prefer team sports and fast-paced activities such as soccer,
basketball, circuit training and group fitness classes.
Be careful not to typecast yourself too harshly – you may
find that you’re drawn to activities that counteract your personality, as it
offers you an escape for your less frequently expressed characteristics. If
you’re shy, an activity like weight lifting may be the perfect activity to
empower you and develop confidence.
What are your fitness
goals?
Finding a passion for an active life is also largely
dependent on your end goal. Do you want to find a love of fit living to lose
weight, build muscle, change your body shape or simply discover something new?
Defining what you want from delving into fitness will ultimately shape what
activities you undertake, how often you workout and how far you’ll be willing
to go to achieve your goals.
