I took this quiz ( http://www.prevention.com/quizleadin/1,5771,s1-2-69-242-1713-1,00.html ) on the Prevention.com web site, and here are the results for me, I must say, they are fairly accurate!
Your Personality Type: SPONTANEOUS Life is a game, and your strategy is always changing. While you aren't much for rules, you'll follow them if they're simple and help you have fun.
Your Exercise Rx: Short but sweet activities that allow you to accumulate exercise time throughout the day may be a good choice, says Ross Andersen, PhD, director of exercise science at Johns Hopkins' weight management center. Spontaneous types also tend to do well with games.
Best Choices
Short walks throughout the day Taking the stairs Bike rides Hiking Tennis Racquetball Squash Basketball Frisbee
Leisure Activities Your first priority is to work regular exercise into your week. But also think about using your leisure time to burn off a few extra calories. Here are some extracurricular activities for your personality type:
skiing playing in a softball or volleyball league
Obstacles Different personalities don't just take to different activities; they have to contend with different obstacles too. Here's what you might find in your path, as well as ways to get around it:
Your biggest enemy is an idle mind. Even short workouts can turn torturous if there's nothing to occupy your brain.
Solution: Watch TV or listen to music while exercising, or grab a workout partner to talk with.
