Have you ever thought to balance your fitness training with your personality or job? If not, then try this on for size.

Are you a mild mannered, nurturing person? Someone who is always serving and helping others? Maybe you’re a pastor, a nurse, a therapist or a teacher. If you’re feeling a little drained from your day-to-day routine, try adding energetic, aggressive routines to your workouts, such as boxing, martial arts, plyometrics or high intensity interval training. This helps you release all that you have absorbed from other people’s lives that day. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how refreshed you feel.

Do you have a different kind of profession? If you’re a police officer, construction worker or stock broker, high stress levels come with the territory. Adding some yoga, swimming, endurance cycling or paddleboarding to your workouts could help to reduce the negative effects of stress and restore your mind.

So, depending on your personality or career, experiment with different exercise routines. Finding that balance could make all the difference in how you feel!

Until next time, think well!
