The Best Workout For Your Personality

Credit - Photo-Illustration by Chloe Dowling for TIME (Source Images: Leontura/Getty Images, 4x6/Getty Images, Images,, LeoPatrizi/Getty Images, Tony Anderson—Getty Images, Oleg Breslavtsev—Getty Images) If dragging yourself to the gym feels like a chore, the issue might not be motivation, but misalignment. Matching your workout to your personality type could be the missing link to making exercise feel less like a task and more like a reward. In one 2025 study published in Frontiers in Psychology, researchers looked at several different personality traits like being extroverted, conscientious, or neurotic. They found that certain types of exercise seemed best suited to these dominant personality traits—and people who chose physical activities that matched their personality enjoyed their workout more, stuck to it more consistently, and even improved more than people who picked a workout that didn't sync up as well to their personality. Of course, the best workout for you is whichever one gets you moving. But if you're curious how to sync your workout to your personality, read on. How your personality can shape your best workout Every kind of exercise is good for you on a cellular level. It stimulates the release of mood-boosting neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. But if you can find a type you actually want to do, the psychological payoff goes deeper than brain chemistry. A 2021 study found that intrinsic motivation—when you're driven by internal factors like personal growth, autonomy, and enjoyment—was more strongly associated with consistent exercise habits than external motivation like weight loss or appearance goals. In other words, when your workout satisfies a core emotional or psychological need (or really just feels like you), you're more likely to keep coming back.

A meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who chose exercise routines that aligned with their personality traits were significantly more likely to perform better overall and stick with their programs over time. The best exercises for extroverts Extroverts are characterized by being outgoing and sociable, so they thrive on energy and interaction. Workouts that feel like an active hangout are perfect, says Jenna Willis, celebrity trainer and wellness coach. 'Extroverts need that little healthy competition to push through that extra pushup,' she says. 'I always say my workouts feel like you're training with your bestie who just happened to bring dumbbells and a solid playlist. That kind of energy keeps extroverts engaged and hyped.' Read More: Should You Shower in the Morning or at Night? That's also what the researchers found in the latest study: extroverts tended to gravitate toward HIIT, spin, boot-camp classes, and team sports, because this format allowed them to feed off of others' energy and competition. 'It's not just about what burns the most calories,' says Willis. 'It's about what keeps you coming back. And honestly, if you're laughing through your lunges, no matter how bad the burn you're more likely to show up tomorrow.' The best exercises for introverts Introverts tend to prefer solitary activities and quiet environments, thriving when they can focus inward without feeling like they're performing for others, says Gillian Almeida, vice president of strategy and insights at Solidcore, a Pilates-style workout with classes across the U.S. 'The key is finding something that feels like 'me time' rather than social time,' she says. 'Yoga, swimming laps, hiking, 'or even traditional weight lifting where you can put in headphones and zone out' fosters the perfect inward focus.' Read More: Why Am I Sweating More Than I Used To? Research also shows that introverts enjoy methodical and repetitive workouts, where they know exactly what to expect. This can look like running or walking along the same trails or practicing tai chi. The Frontiers in Psychology study found that introverts were more likely to enjoy gentle, private exercises, like a solo walk or light home-based workouts. These workouts offer introverts autonomy, space, and a calming pace—supporting both physical health and emotional regulation. 'That said, some introverts surprise themselves by loving group fitness classes once they realize it's not about being the center of attention,' says Almeida. 'It's more like being part of something bigger while still having your own individual experience.' The best exercises for people with anxiety For someone who feels anxious or worried, quieter, low-pressure environments can make workouts more enjoyable. 'This can look like working out alone in your apartment gym, doing at-home workouts, yoga, swimming, tennis, golf, or any activity with a calm, focused vibe,' says Akin Akman, co-founder and CEO of AARMY, a fitness center featuring cycle and bootcamp classes. Read More: What Most People Overlook About Skin Cancer Like introverts, people with anxiety tend to enjoy slower-paced exercises and workouts in smaller settings or completely alone. The latest study found that this group thrived when doing private, low-intensity, and non-intimidating workouts; they were more likely to incorporate this into their routine compared to high-intensity group fitness classes. Research shows that exercise of any type for those with anxiety can significantly help. One study found that regular physical activity helps reduce anxiety by lowering stress hormones like cortisol and increasing calming neurotransmitters. 'Movement is seriously underrated therapy, especially when anxiety shows up uninvited,' says Willis. 'Sometimes, you just need to move through it.' Contact us at letters@

The True Story Behind 'Amy Bradley Is Missing'

More than twenty-seven years after 23-year-old Amy Bradley went missing on March 23, 1998, while on a Caribbean cruise with her family, authorities still don't know why and how she disappeared. A new Netflix documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing, spotlights her family's ongoing journey to find her. Through interviews with Amy's family members, FBI officials working on the case, and people who believe they saw Amy alive, the hope is that covering the case on the world's largest streaming platform will reach someone who knows something that can help move it forward. In the film, the cruise director who was working on the ship insists that Amy fell or jumped overboard. A body has not been recovered in the case, which is one big reason why it remains open—and why people have theories that Amy is still alive. People who claim they saw Amy What makes the case hard to solve is that cell phones didn't exist at the time of her disappearance. The cruise ship could determine the last time Amy used her key card to enter her bedroom, but there's no way to tell when or how she left the room. In a conversation with TIME, directors Ari Mark and Phil Lott shared several theories that they have heard that suggest that she could still be alive: Maybe she was murdered, stored in the ship, and taken off when the boat docked at the next stop. Maybe she walked off the ship and started a new life somewhere. Or, maybe she is being held against her will somewhere. Amy Bradley Is Missing features people who say they saw her alive outside of the ship, but didn't report their findings until years later, so authorities couldn't act on them. In the doc, one person who claims to have seen Amy, David Carmichael, says he was walking along a beach in Curaçao when he saw a woman with a tattoo of the Tasmanian devil walking towards him. She looked like she was about to say something, but then kept walking with the two men who were with her. He thinks one of the men was Alastair Douglas, a bass player that Amy was dancing with hours before she disappeared. 'It really isn't until David Carmichael comes forward and says that he saw Amy on a beach that the possibility that she's really alive gains some real momentum,' Mark says. Other people have also come forward with claims of seeing Amy. A Navy vet, Bill Hefner, says in the film that he met a girl at a bar in Curaçao who said her name was Amy Bradley and told him that she had hopped off of a cruise ship to score drugs and now was being held against her will. In 2005, Judy Maurer says she was using a restroom in Barbados when she heard a bunch of people come into the bathroom. A group of men were ambushing a woman and telling her a deal was imminent and that she better be on time. When Maurer left the stall, she saw an emotional woman by the sink. When she asked the woman what her name was, the woman said her name was Amy. A big lead in the case for Amy being alive happened that same year. An anonymous tipster sent the Bradley family a link to a website with sex workers for hire, and an FBI forensic analysis determined that one of the women looked like Amy. A confrontation Shortly after Amy disappeared, one of the first people that the FBI questioned was the bass player on the cruise ship, Alastair Douglas. A videographer on the cruise ship found footage that showed Amy dancing with him in the middle of the night, hours before she went missing. The FBI found no evidence to charge him with Amy's disappearance, and his polygraph test was inconclusive. However, his daughter, Amica Douglas, appears in the doc and says she's not convinced that he had nothing to do with the case. Douglas talks about red flags she saw in her father, saying that when he returned from the cruise ship that Amy was on, her mother found he grew more distant. Amica adds that her dad had a bag full of photos of white women who were not her mother, which she thought was suspicious. It's rare for someone who was a person of interest to be confronted in real-time in a true crime doc but that's exactly what happened when Amica called her father while filming her interview for Amy Bradley Is Missing. He sounds exasperated when his daughter brings up Amy, yelling, 'I didn't do anything wrong. What am I supposed to do?' He explains that all he did was dance with Amy at the club. When asked if he was walking on a beach in Curaçao with Amy, he said no, claiming he stays away from beaches, because he doesn't like them. 'We just wanted to give her a chance to confront her dad, which she really wanted to do,' Mark explains, 'and of course, at the same time, see if we could glean anything, see if his story was consistent, and see if his tone was defensive as she kept telling me it would be. And, of course, it was.' Why Amy's family remains hopeful Amy's family is convinced that she is still out there, and they regularly update a website where they've posted family pictures because they've noticed that an IP address from Curaçao and Barbados visits it around holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries—and dwells on the site for about 45 minutes. They hope it's connected to Amy, but they don't know for sure because the FBI can't get more information on the IP address since it's not from a U.S. carrier. 'In case she happens to be able to look at it, hopefully she would know that we're still trying and still thinking about her,' Amy's brother Brad says in the doc. Amy's mother describes how every day she wakes up thinking 'maybe today,' meaning, maybe today is the day they will find Amy. And at night, her parents have a special goodnight ritual, in which they say, 'maybe tomorrow.' Her father Ron keeps Amy's car in the garage and still handles its maintenance. 'We all have this gut feeling that she's out there,' says Brad. 'The lack of closure or the not knowing allows us to continue to hope. So I actually prefer it that way than the finality of having an answer.' The documentary ends with a plea from her mother Iva, with tears in her eyes: 'If you know something, please give us that one thing that we need, please do that for us and do that for Amy.' The final scene is a clip from a home video of a young Amy kissing Iva on the cheek. Mark says he hopes that documentary will help lead to an answer. "Things happen and change as a result of these shows," he says. "When you put these mysteries out there, something almost always moves forward." Amy Bradley Is Still Missing is the most comprehensive documentary treatment of the case so far (it has also been covered on America's Most Wanted and Dr. Phil) and yet still, viewers will watch it and still have many questions about Amy's whereabouts that cannot be answered. As Lott puts it, 'Nothing adequately answers everything. And in fact, everything seems to just make the mystery that much more tantalizing.'

Millionaires Discuss How To Stay Motivated After Reaching A $1 Million Net Worth: 'Now I Find Myself Relaxing'

Many people work hard for several years or decades to reach a seven-figure portfolio. However, some people get comfortable after reaching a $1 million net worth and stagnate. A bunch of millionaires discussed this phenomenon on Reddit and shared how they stay disciplined after reaching the $1 million mark. "Now I find myself relaxing," one millionaire mentioned while looking for some guidance. The original poster has a $1 million net worth but hasn't been hustling as hard to turn it into $2 million. These were some of the suggestions. Don't Miss: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Several Redditors rushed to the comments section to mention that $1 million isn't what it used to be. In many neighborhoods, $1 million is not enough to buy a large house. Most people cannot retire on $1 million due to the rising cost of goods and services. Keeping this fact in perspective can help you work toward a more ambitious goal, such as a $5 million to $10 million net worth. Many Redditors mentioned that this is the sweet spot for feeling rich. Not everyone gets to $1 million, but if you are already there and want to retire on your terms, it's worth setting your sights on $5 million to $10 million. A more ambitious target can also result in more action. If you have a $1 million portfolio and will feel content with $1.1 million, there isn't much of an incentive to make any additional effort. The stock market can get you there in less than a year if it's bullish. However, if you want a net worth that ranges from $5 million to $10 million, you will have more motivation to go from $1 million to $2 million. Trending: This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — One Redditor mentioned that every $1 million gets easier over time. It's very hard to go from $0 to $1 million. However, you only need your portfolio to double to reach $2 million. That can happen within a decade, depending on your investments. However, you can also retain the good financial habits that turned you into a millionaire, such as making regular contributions to your portfolio. Then, you only have to grow your portfolio by 50% to go from $2 million to $3 million. The jump from $3 million to $4 million only requires a 33% boost. Every million gets easier over time, but you must remain financially disciplined. Compound growth can work in your favor, but if you balloon your lifestyle as your net worth grows, you can negate all of the positive effects of a high income and a seven-figure Redditor laid out a clear motivation that can help anyone avoid being content with their current net worth. The same Redditor also criticized the original poster for asking random people on the internet for motivation. The commenter then shared their thoughts. "The motivation for 2, 3, 4, etc. million is being able to own your time and be in the driver seat, not be stuck with some commitment to keep trading time for money," the Redditor explained. Most people build nest eggs and make prudent financial decisions so they can live life on their terms. Financial flexibility makes it easier to take risks, such as starting a business or working on a side hustle. Those risks can help you become financially free, especially if your portfolio is growing behind the scenes. Consider what you don't have right now that you can have if you reach a $2 million net worth. Then, apply the same exercise for the $5 million to $10 million sweet spot that some Redditors mentioned. This exercise can give you the necessary motivation to put in the work and stay disciplined. Read Next: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? .

From ‘black' to blessed: 25 yrs of cleaning of Kali Bein, a global model for river revival

On July 16, 2000, environmentalist Balbir Singh Seechewal, now a Rajya Sabha member and a Padma Shri awardee, stepped into a sludge-filled dying rivulet in Punjab, accompanied by a handful of volunteers — it was the beginning of a mission that completed 25 years on Wednesday. The mission mobilised lakhs of citizens and drew attention from national and global leaders, eventually transforming the toxic stream into a clean water body revered as a sacred site. Though the journey was not easy, the Kali Bein movement changed the narrative around the river restoration, and its success — driven by volunteerism, spiritual motivation and grassroots engineering — inspired governments beyond Punjab. And today, it stands as a global model for river revival. The rivulet Kali Bein — literally 'Black Rivulet' — a 165-km-long tributary of the Beas, originates in Dhanoa village near the Mukerian Hydel Project in Hoshiarpur district and flows through Kapurthala before merging with the Sutlej at Harike Pattan. So filthy was the stream that people began calling it 'Kali' (black) Bein, but for Sikhs, it was never just a water body; it was the sacred site where Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru and the founder of Sikhism, attained enlightenment. For Seechewal and his growing team of volunteers, it became a mission that combined spiritual reverence with ecological urgency. What turned the rivulet 'black'? For decades, the Kali Bein served as an open drain for over 80 villages, small towns and industrial units based in Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala and Jalandhar. A major drain, Kala Sanghia, carrying industrial effluent, also emptied into it. Choked by weeds, garbage and untreated sewage, black water replaced fresh flow. Oxygen levels plummeted, and biodiversity vanished. Now, 25 years later, only a few villages still discharge untreated water into the rivulet in the absence of sewer treatment plants. Six treatment plants have been established, primarily in towns, while in several villages, a pond system has been developed in such a way that sewage is treated and water is used for irrigation. A community-led revolution On July 16, 2000, Seechewal and a few volunteers began 'kar sewa' (selfless service). Without any government funding, they cleared weeds, desilted the riverbed, constructed ghats, raised awareness and revived the water flow. Encouraged by public and presidential support, the Punjab government launched a plan to stop untreated sewage from entering the Bein. It identified 73 villages (53 in Kapurthala, 18 in Hoshiarpur, and two in Jalandhar) for intervention. Each village was to build a pond to collect and treat sewage before using it for irrigation. National and global recognition By 2004, efforts gained national recognition when President A P J Abdul Kalam praised the project in a public address and visited the site in 2006. In 2008, TIME magazine listed Seechewal among the world's top 30 environmental heroes. International platforms, including the Copenhagen Climate Summit and the Windsor Castle Interfaith Conference, invited him as a speaker. In May 2004, President Kalam included the Kali Bein among India's top nine achievements. He visited the Bein multiple times between 2006 and 2008 and spoke about it during over 2,000 national and international lectures. In 2015, then Union water resources minister Uma Bharti called the Bein a 'Guru Asthan' for the Ganga Mission. The Modi government adopted its model for the Namami Gange project. Around 500 village panchayat representatives from Ganga basin states were sent to study the Seechewal Model. Even the Delhi government announced plans to replicate it for cleaning the Yamuna. In 2017, Seechewal was awarded with Padma Shri for his work. When CM Mann drank its water On July 17, 2022, on the 22nd anniversary of the Kali Bein cleaning mission, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann drank a glass of water directly from the rivulet to showcase its purity. Two days later, he was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Delhi, sparking criticism and public concern. Why did the chief minister drink water from the rivulet that still received untreated sewage? The act was meant to symbolise faith in the movement, but it also exposed the reality — a rivulet spiritually clean, but environmentally vulnerable. Project status & road ahead Seechewal said, 'Now, in a majority of villages, ponds have been dug and pipes have been laid to carry household discharge to ponds, where it is cleaned and then used in the fields. However, in a few villages, ponds are encroached upon, and pipes have not been connected. The treatment plants in towns like Kapurthala and Sultanpur Lodhi function, but at times, they discharge untreated water directly into the Bein. We raise these issues whenever required.' Several traditional tree species have been planted on the banks. The water is now so clean that water games like boat races are held annually. Ghats and seating areas have been constructed for visitors. Local Bodies Department officials admit, 'If the government wanted, it could have completely stopped the discharge of filthy water by simply ensuring treatment plants run properly.' The Sewerage Board, however, cites the lack of funds to operate plants. Fish die every few years due to low oxygen levels in the polluted water, especially during the summer. River's revival and lifelong commitment 'The Kali Bein's journey is far from over. Although it flows cleaner, restoring full ecological balance requires unwavering political commitment, operational funding and local participation,' Seechewal said. 'Cleaning is a never-ending process, and it's now a part of our lives. All-natural flora and fauna have returned to the Bein, and one can now see clear water most of its course.' What began with one man and a prayer has turned into a movement of faith, resilience and environmental justice. From black waters to a blessed flow, the Kali Bein's revival stands as a reminder: every river can be reborn.

The Revolt Over the Epstein Files Is Snowballing

This article is part of The D.C. Brief, TIME's politics newsletter. Sign up here to get stories like this sent to your inbox. Here's the thing about conspiracy theories: once they take hold, there's no turning back. And when you layer over them a political ideology and make Donald Trump the lead pitchman, they metastasize at a pace beyond control. Trump has openly flirted with nearly every major conspiracy theory of the last half century, and championed one of the most reckless through his insistence without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen. Add to those doozies this latest from the Trumpist legions: that the MAGAverse is being denied the truth about how registered sex-offender billionaire Jeffrey Epstein lived and died after years of a promised epiphany if only Trump were given back control of state secrets. Like so much else that grew into a headache for Trump, this started with his chase of a quick headline without thinking through how it might end. The Epstein saga has become a snowball racing down Mount MAGA that the President has lost the capacity to stop. In the snowball's immediate path? Some of the highest profile members of his administration, all of whom have gone quiet on what they had previously characterized as a dangerous conspiracy that needed to be brought to light. But there are signs that this MAGA kerfuffle may be different from the ones before it. The cleft in the MAGA Movement is pronounced. Trump's base may not so easily move on to the next culture war battle or shiny conspiracy theory. This could reverberate into next year's midterm election and beyond, potentially shaping the second half of Trump's term. Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon is warned that as many as 10% of Trump supporters may defect over feeling short-changed, perhaps costing House Republicans a dozen seats next November. In a sign that this is eclipsing almost everything else, even those eyeing a 2028 campaign are taking the bait and weighing in. 'Release the Epstein files and let the chips fall where they may. This is why people don't trust government,' former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley posted on X. 'You can never go wrong with being transparent. Redact victims' names but release the rest.' And Charlie Kirk, who leads the populist Turning Point USA powerhouse with younger MAGA activists and has churned plenty of content out of the Epstein saga, has abruptly adopted a nothing-to-see-here approach and said he was done talking about it. Let's rewind the tape. Epstein was at the center of a network of super-rich and -priveledged people rumored to exploit young women and girls as part of a sex-trafficking scheme that was said to include a whole host of bold-faced names. Trump, who counted Epstein as a friend for over a decade, fed suspicion about the former Mar-a-Lago regular at campaign rallies and in online posts. In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida on two state felony charges, paid restitution to three dozen victims, and registered as a sex offender. A decade later, Epstein pleaded not guilty in New York to multiple charges, including sex trafficking. Epstein died in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell; officials ruled it a suicide, yet many Trump fans were convinced he was murdered to protect the hyper-connected insiders who might have been implicated should Epstein turn on his former pals. After all, there is a missing minute of video on the footage of his door the night he is said to have killed himself. (Epstein's former girlfriend and associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy. She was accused of helping Epstein recruit and abuse minors. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.) For years, Trump hinted there was an Epstein client list. Weeks into Trump's second term, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced it was on her desk, and MAGA influencers were handed binders of documents that they waved for cameras. (Those binders carried no real bombshells, just documents that were already mostly out there.) But last week, Bondi and her fellow Trumpers Kash Patel and Dan Bongino—the director and deputy director at the FBI—released a statement saying no further disclosures about Epstein was in the offing: 'It is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted,' the organizations said in a joint statement. The memo went off like a bomb within the President's political base. Trump's biggest boosters were unswayed by his contention that the findings were penned by former President Barack Obama, who left office in early 2017, and 'Crooked Hillary' Clinton, who has held no government job since 2013. Trump bristled during a Cabinet meeting last week when Bondi was asked about the so-called Epstein files, saying no one was really interested in that old chestnut. He then unfurled an unhinged social media rant, essentially telling his supporters to back the heck off. Trump understands the power of the rumble—and the unpredictable nature of sparked kindling. Over a decade ago, he fed the wrong and racist trope that Obama was not born in the United States and thus an illegitimate President. He promised to release the files linked to John F. Kennedy's assassination, along with those of his brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. He promised to release the files on 9/11, which he famously claimed without factual basis included Muslims dancing in the streets and on roofs in metro New York that day. He similarly suggested someone needs to audit Fort Knox for missing gold. Trump now faces this ugly reality: he promised the goods, and either the goods don't exist or they are potentially embarrassing to him or his buddies. Either way, it has triggered his conspiracy-addled allies in a way we did not see in his first term. Fellow agitator Laura Loomer—a conspiracy theorist who accompanied Trump to Ground Zero on the 9/11 anniversary last year—has been calling for Bondi to get the boot if she can't pony-up proof of l'affair Epstein. In the interim, Loomer proposed taking it off her desk and passing it to a special counsel. Another influencer, Benny Johnson, suggested that Trump's law-and-order team haul former President Bill Clinton in for questioning. And Bongino, who spent years peddling Epstein innuendo and out-nuendo alike, was so palpably angry that he and Bondi clashed in the West Wing and he skipped work on Friday while contemplating leaving a job he has openly hated. For their part, Democrats are cautiously capitalizing on the opposition party's disarray. On Monday night, they forced a vote on the House Rules Committee on requiring the release of the Epstein files, leading the Committee's Republicans to be the ones to block it to avoid overriding Trump. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters on Monday he may get behind efforts to force the White House or Justice Department to provide a fuller accounting of what it knows about Epstein, saying either they lied about having the goods before or are lying about it now. For now, Democrats seem happy to help this snowball of a crisis keep rolling and allow it to distract Trump from a moment when he should be taking a victory lap on major domestic legislation.
