These qualities also mean they can get frustrated with mainstream diets and workout programs when they don't work. The problem is that weight loss programs have a one-size-fits-all structure to appeal to the masses. However, if you've got a Type A personality and you're committed to a weight loss program, these workouts may seem non-negotiable! A break is needed, and it can be too taxing on the body to follow a regimented workout plan every single day. The benefits of having a Type A personality include finding security in the structure and rigidity of diet and workout programs, but this personality type also needs to allow room for flexibility and changes.
