Are you a yogi or a Rocycle?

This says your workout about you

Forget the bookshelf, the meaning of the tattoos, or the contents of your bag. If you really want to know what type of person someone is, ask her about her favorite workout.

The yogi

There's a good chance this friend is also vegetarian, puts almond milk in her coffee (if she drinks coffee at all), prefers organic makeup, and doesn't go too wild in the evenings. She is warm, calm, sweet, balanced, and will occasionally press her hands together and make a little bow for you. And did you seriously just hear her say ’namaste‘? Yes. You heard that. Here by the way, read seven solid reasons to start doing yoga.

The Rocycle-goer

The Rocycle recidivist is a toughie. Hammering hard on that bike in the dark. Shouting along, singing along; giving it all. Rocycling is for tough girls, who also stay out late in the evenings and look deep into their glasses. They'll sweat it out again tomorrow. You can have your Rocycle friend around you. She holds her own, isn't easily scared or hurt, and goes all in the moment. But occasionally she needs to catch her breath, then you give her the peace.

The bodybuilder

She is incredibly focused on her body, but in a totally different way than the yogi. She doesn't care much if it's healthy. Results, that's what counts. She counts her nuts, has fixed meal times, has periods of ‘cutting’ so that the layer of fat disappears and all that remains is an enviable toned six-pack. Don't be jealous if you're lying next to her. Or would you have preferred to keep that Tony's Chocolonely closed and kept the cork in the rosé? Well then.

The boxer

She is cool and tough. She might have a little layer of fat on her bones (because she loves masculine things, so also beer and burgers), but underneath lies a muscle mass. She looks a bit tough and distant, but once you get past that rough exterior, you find a goldmine. A friend who goes through thick and thin. And also handy if you have to bike together through an unsafe neighborhood at night.

Ballet Beautiful

There's a good chance this friend hates sports. But keeping in mind the motto ‘a person has to do something’, she dutifully crawls to the Ballet Beautiful studio twice a week. Keeps the body a bit in check and immediately has a good reason to stock up on some fresh packages. Yes, I was guilty too, just look but just what I bought. Everything is a lifestyle, after all.
