Your physical condition is also important in determining what fitness routine will be appropriate for you. For example, people with asthma or environmental allergies may have trouble exercising outdoors where pollens and pollution can trigger attacks. These people might get better results from indoor swimming, where the air is filtered and the humidity can help open sinuses and lungs. Similarly, people with arthritis or joint injuries need to find low-impact exercise that will not aggravate those conditions.
Finally, take a hard look at your circumstances. Is your schedule regular enough to allow you to take a regular exercise class? If you work irregular hours or changeable shifts, an individual exercise program might be better for you. On the other hand, if you are retired or stay home with a child, a regular exercise class may give you just the incentive you need to get out of the house.
Your location will also dictate the duration, time and components of your fitness routine. If you live in a moderate climate with little variation in temperature and precipitation, you can count on being able to pursue the same routine year-round. However, if you live in a climate where it gets excessively hot during the summer or cold during the winter, you will need to establish a mix of outdoor and indoor activities in order to stay active year-round.
