How the Sun Signs Like to Sweat

Are you a junkie for the gym, or do you prefer the great outdoors? Read on for an astrological take on you and your workout routine -- or lack thereof!

Aries
The Ram is happy to stay in shape, but not if it requires hours in a windowless weight room. No, energetic Aries would rather join an African dance class with live conga players -- or better yet, score a sweat playing soccer (or score a sweaty soccer player!).

Taurus
The Bull will show up at Pilates class like clockwork until their stomach is perfect. Once Taurus sets their mind to getting in shape, they'll do it. This stable Sun sign knows it takes commitment and discipline to get -- and stay -- in shape.

Gemini
Gemini starts a lot of classes -- kickboxing, yoga, belly dancing, swimming -- but doesn't always finish. Ever noticed that your Gemini friends rarely have storage space? That's because their closets are full of discarded exercise equipment!

Cancer
No matter if it's kitesurfing, tennis or yoga, once Cancer commits, they stay committed. This is great, though once in a while the Crab should explore something new. Changing it up is a good way for sensitive Cancer to stay engaged with their physical fitness routine.

Leo
When it comes to exercise, Leo's spirit is willing, but sometimes their flesh takes them out for a night on the town and encourages them to skip the gym. To counter their sometimes erratic approach to physical fitness, the Lion would do well to commit themselves to a rigorously regular routine.

Virgo
Virgo knows with a deep part of themselves that regular exercise is key to a happy, fulfilled life. They don't have to force themselves to work out: the Virgin gets out there and exercises because they need to in order to satisfy body and soul.

Libra
Libra doesn't make a big deal out of staying fit. The Scales might jog around the lake three times a week, but they probably won't train for a triathlon. Still, as lovers of balance, they'll never let themselves get too out of shape.

Scorpio
A lover of extremes, Scorpio would rather surf at a freezing beach with no wetsuit than swim in an indoor pool. Scorpion's drive for an endorphin rush keeps them healthy, but they should make sure to stretch before they push themselves to the limit.

Sagittarius
Biking is a bull's-eye for the Archer, as Sagittarius thrives in the outdoors. They're at home in the woods and love to spend days at the beach. For the Archer, exercise and communing with nature are almost indistinguishable.

Capricorn
Capricorn researches before they work out. They look for the right yoga class, and the right teacher. They might even check up on the teacher's qualifications. When the Goat feels confident that the routine isn't going to do them any harm, then they get started.

Aquarius
Aquarius either devotes themselves to their health or ignores it completely. The Water Carrier has to learn not to give up on exercise altogether if it looks like they aren't headed for the Olympics. After all, staying in shape is not something you do for glory, but for yourself.

Pisces
Pisces uses exercise to bring themselves back down to earth. The Fish can tend to slip away into realms of imagination, and activities such as swimming, walking and yoga help ground them. Pisces needs to make double sure they don't neglect their fitness.
