 The
fitness craze seems to have caught with everyone, be
it a celebrity or just a face in the crowd. All are
doing it that is sweating it out in the gym, the pool
or the nearby stadium. On dinner tables they prefer
to talk rather than eat. An interesting development
indeed, but what's depressing is that many of these
people aren't happy doing what they are. Get close and
you will notice their face muscles held taut during
the morning walk, a smile from them would but be an
impossible dream, they are in fact cursing themselves
for being blessed with a prosperous life (no prosperity,
no evil temptations to binge, right?)
Giving up exercise isn't an answer either...
That leaves us with no option but to get involved. And
how do we get involved? Simple, just by finding an interesting
activity, something that sounds play and not work. Confused
still? Here's some good news; your sunsigns can give
you some helpful hints...
 Aquarius:
Tennis, basketball, trekking may sound interesting for
them; the secret is that these people cannot work alone
and love to have lot of people around, at least most
of the time.
Another major need for Aquarians is to improve their
circulation. So ideally they should pursue activities
like running, swimming, dancing etc which strengthen
their breathing capacities. And more...they get the
desired results like excellent metabolism, raised immunity
levels, glowing looks etc.
One warning though; these people are never happy settling
down to routine. So even at a gym they have to be doing
different kinds of exercises on different days to keep
their motivation levels high.
 Pisces:
The fitness fight is a difficult one for Pisceans since
they love to eat. It would be better if they keep away
from pessimistic friends as they absorb the negativity
a bit too fast and give up. One consolation though,
Pisceans are excellent visualisers and they could motivate
themselves towards greater fitness using this skill.
Since this is the sign of the fish, majority take
to water activities swimming, surfing, rowing with great
delight. Others would at least love to run by the beach.
Fishes are also famous for graceful movements, so yoga
would also suit fine. They also love to dare and may
pursue horse-riding, dancing, skating, swimming often.
All outdoor games, be it run and chase, cricket, kho
kho will also agreed upon as long as they are challenging.
Though the gym is not the right place for them, Pisceans
could be inspired by some great music and well designed
exercise clothes. Even the promise of a relaxing sauna
bath or a shower would motivate them to spend some more
time at the treadmill. Dance being a great passion,
step aerobics, aerobic dancing or even an evening at
the disc will easily receive a "Let's Go"
from them.
 Aries
These people love to get over things fast and also get
immediate results. Unfortunately exercise doesn't happen
that way. Human body has got its limitations just like
anything else. One advantage for these people is that
they are always on the move and therefore do not put
on weight easily.
 Arians
would do better by exploiting their strength, endurance,
confidence and drive in tough activities like martial
arts, wind surfing, football, basketball, gymnastics,
boxing, skipping etc. Iron being their metal, even weight
lifting would suit fine for them. While at the gym they
should get into some strenuous activities to get rid
off the stress.
However a major hitch is that these people consider
everything as a challenge and don't learn to take it
easy.
 Taurus
Bulls belong to yet another group that adores good,
sorry rich food and lots of rest. No wonder they find
it tough to fight the battle of the bulge.
Typical Taureans don't love to work hard at the gym
or the tennis court, they would rather walk or go cycling
by the country side. They may choose swimming, not at
the pool but the nearby stream. Nature is a greatest
temptation for them since it relaxes them.
 City
dwellers should carry walkmans to the gym and listen
to some inspiring music while working out. That releases
the stress of keeping fit. If this isn't enough, the
promise of a neat aromatherapy massage at the end may
inspire them to do a few more pushups or abdominal crunches.
For those reluctant Taureans, family members could
provide a gentle push by persuading them to take the
kids out to play or at least walk the dog. Tennis is
out since it calls for quick movements but a Taurean
will take up the gardening work happily.
 Gemini
These people are basically restless, so staying fit
should be an easy game for them. They love change and
flexibility. Gymnastics, cycling, swimming, aerobic
dancing should be instant choices with them.
Geminis may also settle for tennis, badminton, Frisbee
since they love to work with a partner. These games
also give them time and space to chat. Brisk walk is
yet another activity these people wouldn't mind.
 Breathing
is one area these people have to improve upon, since
good breathing refers to strength. Aerobics or jogging
can be pursued for better results. Slow activities like
yoga aren't for them but they would probably fare well
at dance, gymnastics, basketball, or tennis since movements
aren't as slow.
One negative quality in Geminis is stress bingeing.
They have to find a way to release excess stress and
ensure they are calm before arriving at the dining table.
If they cannot find something nice, they could even
bite into an apple or guava to get their nerves in order.
The sign of the twins demands variety. A rigid exercise
routine is out for them. Let them check out their choices
and modify their schedule as they want.
 Cancer
Water relaxes them; Cancerians simply love water sports
like swimming, sailing, wind surfing and rafting. Even
running on the beach would do for them as long they
can keep in touch with water.
 Hard
driven exercise programs are out for these people. These
sensitive souls need something more gentle, say stretching
exercises. Water calisthenics would be best since it
will soothe their nerves and strengthen them even more.
Cancer being the sign of the born nurturer, they love
to cook, feed and eat really good food. A slight caution
against good food will help them to stay in better shape.
