Study shows that different personality types like extroverts and neurotics enjoy different exercises, suggesting tailored routines are best
My brother is a runner, my sister’s first choice of exercise is cycling or swimming, while mine is taking a class at the gym.
We had the same exposures growing up and yet we choose to stay fit in very different ways. This likely reflects our personality types, according to a recent study from University College London (UCL).
Lead author Professor Flaminia Ronca of UCL’s Exercise Neuroscience Research Group explains the inspiration for the study.
Our personalities, of course, are largely dictated by how our brains are wired, which, as Ronca observes, “is partly nature, partly nurture”.
