  Your archetype: Once you know what to do, you're usually able to stick with a fitness program and lose weight. But that initial excitement leads to frustration when your approach stops working. It's easy to get discouraged when you hit a plateau. Your game plan: In order to jumpstart your results, you may need to shift your approach slightly. Maybe you've been following through at 80% and need to tighten up a bit. Or maybe you need a more customize fitness and nutrition program. Focus on nailing the process and results will eventually come.

  The Perfectionist

  Your archetype: When it comes to fitness, you tend to take an all-or-nothing approach. You may rely on discipline and willpower more than is necessary. This usually looks like dramatic results at first, followed by a slip-up that causes you to beat yourself up and backslide. This type often develops a history of yo-yo dieting. Your game plan: Remember that the best fitness plan is one you can follow for the rest of your life. When you feel strong excitement and motivation to change, prioritize sustainability over speed. Celebrate your successes and forgive yourself for the occasional indulgence - that way one "mistake" doesn't create a domino effect.

  The Natural

  Your archetype: When it comes to fitness, you're someone that people envy. You don't have to follow a rigid program in order to stay in shape. People may assume that you are genetically gifted, but it's more likely that you are benefiting from healthy habits you've developed over time. This archetype typically finds intrinsic satisfaction in eating well and exercising. Your game plan: Avoid complacency and boredom by finding new ways to challenge your body. Experiment with more advanced nutrition protocols. Try a new sport. Focus on improving your performance and enjoying the body that you've created for yourself.
