Working out can sometimes be a drag, but finding an activity, sport, or exercise that’s right for you can be as simple as being open to the possibilities. Whether it’s a run in nature or a friendly tennis game, your astrological sign can clue you into workouts your body and soul desires. Here are some suggestions to up your fitness game based on your zodiac sign.

Aries

Bold and direct, bursting with energy

You love cardio, a killer spin class, and marathon-style anything. Some Aries will find their warrior soul expression in martial arts and boxing.

Taurus

Grounded, persevering, focused on long term results and endurance

Good old-fashioned strength training is ideal for Taurus, as is having a routine weekly schedule where you may establish good muscle memory. For endurance, try rowing as the repetitive motion will be meditative for you as well.

Gemini

Versatile, inquisitive, quick

Take an approach that allows versatility and bursts of energy like Cross-Fit or circuit training with a group. Rope and circuit training will give you versatility and allow you to work your arms as well as your core and whole body.

Cancer

Emotionally expressive, sensitive, tenacious

Hatha and Vinyasa yoga have the flow and restoring, nurturing aspects you need after moving all those muscles. An extra-long Savasana or gong bath is always an added plus.

Leo

Creative, courageous, strong-willed, and self-expressive

Dance class, 5 Rhythms, or pole class will give you that feeling of fun, freedom, and pure expression while you tone up and sweat.

Virgo

Meticulous, thoughtful, exacting in movements

Iyengar yoga, Pilates, and SLT (Strengthen, Lengthen, Tone) focus on larger and smaller muscle groups that tone and sculpt your body with precision.

Libra

Graceful, determined, focused

Barre workouts and ballet class give you that innate sense of grace that you truly need to feel balanced.

Scorpio

Deep and intense, trustworthy, strategic

You want to feel intensity and ultimate transformation in your workout, so try interval training with varying speeds and inclines. For the more spiritually inclined Scorpio’s, Kundalini yoga will offer inner and outer rejuvenation.

Sagittarius

Ambitious, broad-minded, adventurous

Hiking, rock climbing, roller blading, and paddle boarding are a few favorites. Any outdoor sport where you get to physically cover new ground will suit your Olympian sensibility. 

Capricorn

Determined, strong work ethic, goal-oriented

Skiing, P90x and hot yoga may capture your interest. Capricorns love anything super intense and sweaty that gives you that feeling of serious hard work and accomplishment.

Aquarius

Innovative thinker, original, humanitarian spirit

Capoeira, aerial yoga, and partner yoga may appeal to your originality. You function best on a team and thrive when you get to use your natural ingenuity.

Pisces

Empathic, flexible, deep feelings

Swimming, water workouts, and yoga with a meditation practice can all give you that sense of calm and restorative quality that you crave after exerting yourself.
