What is Your Fitness Language?

What is your Fitness Language?

Answered…..

We have heard of our “love language”, but what is your fitness language?

 

Do you……     woman running

a) love to exercise?

If you answered “yes”, then you are lucky in a lot of ways.  What you have to be careful of is that you don’t go overboard and become “addicted” to exercise.  Not that over-exercise is a bad addiction compared to many, but it can get in the way of having a balanced life.

 

What is too much?  Too much exercise is when you start to lose touch with friends or family because you are always training or going to classes.  Too much is when you stop doing other things that you love to do because you have to train all the time.

 

b) reluctantly exercise because you know that it is good for you?

If you answered “yes” than you are probably still self-motivated, but may be more motivated by a fitness tool such as the “Fit Bit”, which gives you feedback about your # of steps, calories burned, etc.

 

You are truly a good candidate for a personal trainer to provide that extra motivation and feedback to keep you going.

I find that many women are in this category because many of them are not used to spending money on themselves for exercise (at least women older than 40’s).

 

c) only exercise with someone else or in a class?

If “yes” is your answer here, you are a good jumping ropecandidate for a personal trainer for sure!  Hopefully over time, you morph into someone who loves to exercise and takes more responsibility towards your exercise.  That is a goal of most personal trainers!

 

d) hate to exercise and avoid it at all costs? 

As hard as it is for me to talk someone out of exercising, this type of person is the most challenging to keep exercising.  They usually will only exercise under Doctor’s orders, and even then, they do so very reluctantly.  Once in a while, there is a conversion from exercise “hater” to “lover”, or at least “tolerater”.
