You are your own motivator! The workouts that would suit you best are the ones that can be performed whenever you can fit them into your ever-changing schedule. You prefer to have a little alone time to reflect and think, and enjoy the ability to do what fits your mood that day. You love the fact that you don’t have to impress anyone or compete to win. You are your own winner, and you’re motivated enough to keep going strong!
If you scored mostly Bs, you can try Water Exercises.
You feel relaxed in the water. Something about the coolness on your skin and the calming rhythm of the strokes you take motivates and commits you to get into that swimsuit. You have always loved the water and water-related activities -- and it’s no big deal for you to jump in the pool and get going, with or without friends. You should try group exercises in the water, such as water aerobics.
If you scored mostly Cs, you can try Outdoor Exercises.
You love to take advantage of the great outdoors! You have always loved to be outside with nature, and a hike or walk outside invigorates and energises you. You hate being cooped up in the house when it rains. Brisk walking is appropriate for all ages and allows one to enjoy the flora and fauna depending on the route. So why not include the whole family and even your pet in your nature walks during the weekends?
If you scored mostly Ds, you can try Group Exercises.
You are very sociable and have always loved exercising with friends. It motivates you to have other people around you, as the sense of being in a group gives you extra energy. You enjoy the social aspect of working out -- from the outfits and the togetherness, to the healthy smoothie breaks afterward. You may want to join an exercise club where there is a variety of classes, and the flexibility of taking them on weeknights and/or the weekends.
If you scored mostly Es, you can try Team Sports.
You are a competitive person by nature and you love the feeling of being part of a team; wearing a uniform gets you psyched. You benefit from team sports because you are having fun while working out, and you don’t even realise it – you’re too busy making sure you score that point! You don’t give up easily -- you’re way too motivated by the thought of winning. Score a ton of points for your body this year and join a sports team.
