Mostly As - You’re destined to be an adventure hiker or trekker! You want a sport that won’t have you sweating buckets and aching from head to toe, but one that will still challenge and interest you. You love getting out and seeing new places and get bored if you stay in one place too long. Hiking and trekking can take you to new places you never would have gone otherwise and the uphill and downhill challenges will tone and shape your physique without you feeling like you’re working too hard. It’s also very low impact so is perfect for those with underlying injuries or limited mobility.

Mostly Bs - You’re destined for cycling! Best get the lycra out as it’s time to ride! Cycling is a fantastic sport as it will get you super fit without you getting bored of monotonous workouts and killer cardio sessions. It’s also a very social sport and you can head out with fellow cyclists and friends to tackle the roads together. You can make your ride as tough or as easy as you like, with killer ascents or just scenic views to make the time fly by.

Mostly Cs - You’re destined to be a runner! You enjoy spending time on your own and you love pushing your own boundaries. Whether it’s a short speedy 5k or a tough marathon, you enjoy being outdoors and seeing new places while getting fit at the same time. Running is a great sport as it is available to everyone and is completely free! You don’t need any expensive specialist kit, just a pair of trainers and you’re good to go.

Mostly Ds - You’re destined to be a CrossFitter! You love the pain that comes with working out as it lets you know you’re getting better every time you do it. You love nothing more than lying in a sweaty heap on the floor at the end of a workout because it means it’s a job well done and you can go eat an entire tub of ice cream in celebration! CrossFit is a fantastic sport as it targets every single aspect of fitness, from running to gymnastics to weightlifting, it’s got everything. You can ‘scale’ a workout meaning that you don’t have to be super fit or strong to get started and you can use the equipment already in your gym so you don’t have to join a specialist establishment.

Mostly Es - You’re destined to be a bodybuilder! You hate the idea of getting sweaty doing cardio but you really want to get in shape. You don’t really care about running fast or excelling in sport, you just want to look great and feel amazing. Bodybuilding focusses on the aesthetic aspects of fitness and building a toned, lean physique. It’s accessible for everyone and provides a varied workout that will always challenge you.
