Barriers & Tips for Reds

Boredom of routine exercise…

Lack of people to connect with during exercise…

Not having a goal…

Not getting outdoors…

You are likely to be bored by pure exercise.
Choose activities and sports that are fun and can be done with others and maintain a network of active people.

Train for an event with others.
The event provides motivation and energy for peak performance, and training with others makes it fun.

Fill your phone with your favorite music to keep you moving, especially when exercising inside.

Avoid making commitments that get in the way of your freedom and flexibility.
Over-scheduling can be a turnoff.

Maintain momentum by keeping your goals in sight.
Post notes and reminders of what you want to achieve.

Keep gear handy so you will be ready for action when an opportunity opens up.

To avoid injury, resist your natural impulse “to leave nothing on the field.”
Go easy on yourself.

Create mini goals along the way, such as time, distance, or improvement.

Get outside. With your observation and navigation skills, you won’t be bored in outdoor settings.

If you use indoor equipment, find or move it near a window so you can enjoy views of nature and outdoor activity.

Red

Fast paced and in the moment, Reds love to be where the action is. Reds experience life through their senses, craving stimulation and adventure from the physical world. Moving is natural; physical activity is about being alive.

A sense of play is appealing, making fun activities, either solo or alongside like-minded others, a high priority.
