The 8 Colors of Fitness

Right now with everything turned around and upside down, it's a bit harder to follow our old routines, including in the areas of exercise and fitness. I found a fun and interesting approach to fitness choices called The 8 Colors of Fitness. It offers a way to help us look at fitness through the lens of personality type. The idea is that maybe, we will find more success with exercise if the activity and environment fit our unique natural tendencies. Take the test here to discover your fitness color! It might give you a new perspective or idea for getting moving in a way that works for you.

The 8 Colors is based on the MBTI® system, which interprets your personality according to four categories. These categories cover how extroverted or introverted you are, how you perceive and process information, how logical or emotional your decisions are, and how open-ended you prefer things to be. The combinations of these categories create 16 basic personality types. Both of these tests can give you more insight into yourself, which of course can be invaluable for personal growth and peace of mind.

Here is a little preview of the eight fitness color types! Which ones do you relate to?
