Unless impaired, most individuals can choose to exercise on a regular basis. The preferred routines and the way in which exercising is approached or maintained can differ dramatically based on the person’s innate brain lead.

Following are examples of the way in which individuals might approach exercising based on innate brain lead.

 

Left Frontal Lobe  

Right Frontal Lobe 

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division tend to gravitate toward decision-based and/or competitive exercise

  • Emphasize control, precision, regularity, and goal achievement
  • May become exercisaholic
  • Like competition in exercise and want to WIN
  • May gravitate toward golf, skeet, tennis, skiing, running, racquetball, jogging

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division tend to gravitate toward spontaneity-based exercise

  • Emphasize high-risk, thrilling, adventurous, or unusual exercise activities
  • Often exercise sporadically rather than regularly, go in fits and starts, or rotate exercise types to avoid boredom and routines
  • May compete with self or others based on type of activity and other personal brain characteristics
  • May gravitate toward skeet, spelunking, skiing, hiking, biking, swimming, walking (or more unusual sports such as rock climbing)

 

Left Posterior Lobes 

Right Posterior Lobes   

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division tend to gravitate toward scheduled or prescription-based exercise

  • Emphasize team orientation, rules and regulations, and habitual activities
  • May gravitate toward aerobics, routines, health club membership, fitness class, baseball

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division tend to gravitate toward collegiality-based exercise
