Picking The Right Exercise Class Part 3

The next tip in picking an exercise class right for you is to determine the impact level that is right for you. If you have not exercised in some time, start out with a low impact class. Your goal should be to increase your impact level to high, but don't start there if this is your first class.

Also, consider your personality type. The loud, upbeat aerobics class may not fit an introvert as much as an extrovert. But don't be afraid to try something. The extrovert may be fitted more to the loud, upbeat aerobics class, but the quiet peaceful yoga class may be more what is needed.

Try something totally different, or something that seems intimidating to you such as belly dancing, spinning or yoga. These classes are often designed with everyone in mind so that your level of fitness is accomodated by the class. You may be surprised at what you like. Remember, if you really don't like it, you don't have to go back!
