Our time in the gym can often be an enlightening experience, as our ability to cope with the stressors presented is often indicative of our general behavior when faced with life problems. Dependent on our profession, relationships and environment our personality type can be an asset or a liability. The key to maximizing our success in fitness is to identify, accept and utilize our particular personality traits to our advantage.
Personality #1: The Adrenaline Junkie 
- Do you have a tremendous amount of drive and determination?
- Do you find joy in seeking out the next challenge?
- Do you live for the “rush”?
- Do you feel “on top of the world” after you complete an intense workout?
If you answered yes to these questions then you may be an adrenaline junkie.
The adrenaline junkie obtains tremendous satisfaction through intense exercise that challenges him/her mentally and physically. The adrenaline junkie succeeds with workout programs that “kick butt” and they cannot accept anything less.
The aforementioned traits keep the adrenaline junkie consistent and dedicated toward the achievement of a healthier lifestyle but the adrenaline junkie must make sure that they don’t over do it. Remember that the body needs rest and working out at a high intensity all the time can lead to overtraining.
Workouts for the adrenaline junkie must be balanced, efficient and fun.
