The Effect of Personality Type on Training

Personality types have a bearing on what kind of training appeals to you.

I took a test and this is the result:

 

 

 

 

The Trekker 

– Independent and disciplined 

Technology scares not a trekker – always hard and monotonous work.

Additionally, you are independent and have high demands on yourself.

Personality: You are reliable and insightful. Logical and detail oriented as you are,  you work best in a structured environment where you always perform your duties with care.

Fitness: The trekker prefer the freedom it means to practice alone before the teamsports social side. You have great self-discipline and requires many hours of training by yourself. To get in good shape, do long bike rides, preferably uphill. If you are strength training plans are required, in eg bodybuilding so you can constantly monitor your progress, your and results. Regarding flexibility you prefer exercises at home on the floor.

Peak: The trekker is a real night owl, so it has its energy peak late in the evening. You might as well not bother to try to get up in the morning for that run. Instead, try to schedule your workouts in the evening when it is not crowded at the gym.

Training Opportunities

CONDITIONING: Karate, road cycling, long distance running, swimming

STRENGTH: Weight Training in the gym or at home

AGILITY: Stretches, yoga, pilates – can be done at home

 

Most of this is actually correct! Apart from the self-discipline -that i have NONE of! Oh and the fact that i don’t trek! *lol*

Maybe should start though -can’t really see the opportunity for it though.
