Work It, Girl!

The best way to whip your body into shape is to find a fun workout you’d love to spend your time doing. Ask yourself the following questions to find the workout that works for you.

Fitness group dance class

1Single vs. group

Do you prefer to work out by yourself or do you feed off the energy and enthusiasm of others? Figuring out which you prefer will help you decide on fitness activities. Solitary activities include running, swimming and cycling. In a group, you could take up soccer, tennis or even dodgeball.

2Competition vs. cooperation

Are you into competing against others, or are you happiest when you’re working with others (possibly helping them to become the best versions of their own exercise selves)? If you’re the former, you may enjoy team sports like hockey or field hockey. If you’re the latter, you may thrive in group classes like yoga or Pilates in which everyone encourages each other.

3Free-thinker vs. rule-lover

Are you spontaneous, or do you live by a strict schedule? People who love to go with the flow enjoy activities like yoga or indie dance classes, whereas those who love learning about a game and following the rules enjoy such sports as golf and baseball.

4Rush vs. relax

Do you prefer activities that give you an immediate rush of adrenaline, or do you like to relax during a workout? If you love to feel your muscles working, you’ll likely do well in intense sports such boxing and soccer. People who look for muscle toning while they relax do best with activities such as tai chi and water aerobics.
