Why do some people seem to enjoy exercise and others dread it?

I'm sure you've heard that to incorporate healthy physical activity into your lifestyle you need to find what you enjoy. So what if you don't actually know? You observe other people having fun while everything you try feels like torture. There may be some help for you in a study by University College London, attempting to relate personality traits to certain types of exercise. For example (and not surprisingly), extroverts tend to enjoy intense or competitive workouts and group settings, while introverts preferred lower-intensity and home workouts. Specific exercises enjoyed by introverts include cycling, swimming, yoga, walking or running and home resistence workouts. Extraverts more likely enjoy HIIT (high intensity interval training), maximum intensity cycling, competitive running, and group classes. Check out this study or just do some quick research on activities that are a good match for your personality. Find something you love!!
