What your score means
Mostly As:
The Go-Getter
Motivated, body-conscious, and a bit of a daredevil. You aren’t fazed by trying new things and people can always count on you to rise to a challenge. The way you look and feel is important for you and you hate to look or feel unfit.
Your Achilles’ heel: You have a tendency to become bored easily with exercise regimes, or despondent if you don’t see any results.
Mostly Bs:
The golden middle
We are aware of all the benefits of healthy life style, however, are not always very enthusiastic about it. You try to eat properly and organize your life, but very often you do not enjoy it so much as you could. Try to set more challenging goals like triathlon or mountain skiing and you would be delighted at the results you will see in the mirror!
Mostly Cs :
Lazybones
Well, we do understand that we all need some rest now and then, but you need some movement. Your careless approach to your weight and appearance may really bring disappointing results in a couple of years! So go out and find any sports activity which is potentially appealing to you or whish you find nice: dancing will bring you obvious results without gym boredom!
Do you agree? Why?
