Start achieving your fitness goals.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 22, 2019
Whether you’re someone who thrives on routine or someone who constantly has to switch things up, there will come a time when you will get bored by your workout. You may always be on the lookout for something new to get you on track with your fitness goals.
The world of exercise and fitness is always growing and changing. The things that were once popular fade away and are taken over by new trends. There are so many new things happening that it can be challenging to keep up.
But when it comes to astrology, what is the fitness trend that each of the zodiac signs likes the most? Depending on your personality traits and unique qualities of the zodiac signs, what works for one person may not work for another.
Not every fitness trend is good for everybody, and it’s important to find the right fit for you when it comes to your workout. There can also be budgetary or environmental set-backs, like if you can’t afford a personal trainer or a gym membership.
So, let's look at what astrology suggests is the best fitness trend for each zodiac sign. Maybe you'll find some inspiration and give it a try.
ARIES: Aerial Hoop
Aries thrive on challenges and taking chances, so what could be a better fitness trend for them than Aerial Hoop? For this workout, a one-inch diameter metal hoop is suspended from the ceiling where participants swing and flip in the air.
This workout is not only great for one's core, but it strengthens muscles and improves balance and flexibility. Once the lower hoops are mastered, Aries can go even higher. All that aerobic acrobatics in the air should keep them engaged and give them a great workout in the process.
TAURUS: Pound
Pound is a full-body cardio workout that uses weighted drumsticks to pound along to the music. The drumming provides isometric movements and plyometrics (exercises in which muscles exert maximum effort in short periods of time) to burn calories and sculpt muscles.
This is a perfect workout for Taurus as it allows them to fully move their body while listening to music. If Taurus is feeling lazy, they can tell themselves that they're not going to work out, but to play music.
GEMINI: Katami 4x4
For one minute, you do four circuits of high-intensity cardio, one lower body, one upper body, and one core move, then there are 30 seconds of active recovery before repeating the round four more times. This is a fast boot camp-style workout that won't give short-attention span Gemini any time to get bored.
Geminis can sometimes suffer from a lack of direction, so the direction that the Katami 4x4 program provides could be very helpful.
CANCER: Streaming Cardio
What could be better than a cardio class whenever you need it, right in your own home? This is perfect for Cancer because they love staying home, having the many options of classes that stream, and they can workout whenever they want, even if it's right in the middle of the night or super-early in the morning.
LEO: Ninja Warrior Gyms
Inspired by the TV show American Ninja Warrior, these gyms are packed full of physical challenges like the Warped Wall, Salmon Run, and upper body pulling exercises. These workouts would appeal to Leos as it would help them with strength, balance, and stamina.
Since Leos strive to be the best, it wouldn't be surprising if they ended up as a competitor on the show.
VIRGO: Barre + Cardio Fusion
Think of these classes as extreme ballet. They've taken ballet and ramped it up by adding in a cardio component. People love the way it sculpts lean muscles, helps to slim down, and gets their heart pumping.
It's a fast-paced, full-body workout that takes focus, attention to detail, and control — all things that Virgos are excellent at.
LIBRA: Aqua Cycle
Aqua Cycle is fantastic for Libras because it's a group experience. It's tough but not too hard on the joints, and it's fun. It's a spin class but in the water, so not only is it a good for fitness, it's a fun thing to talk about at parties. That's a bonus for social Libras.
SCORPIO: Rowing
More and more people are starting to replace their indoor bikes with rowing machines. You can do it at home or at the gym. This full-body workout works 85 percent of your muscles, and if you add in some strength exercises on a mat, you've got an entire workout.
Rowing has appeal to Scorpios because it's high intensity, low-impact, and anyone can do it and get good at it fast. Scorpios like to be the best at everything they attempt, so this is a great workout for them.
SAGITTARIUS: Zumba Step
It's Zumba, it's Step — it's two workouts in one. Zumba Step is a great workout for Sagittarius because it is a tough cardio workout that feels like a party.
Zumba Step will allow Sagittarius to socialize while working out. Since Zumba classes play a lot of world music, it will help the world traveler feel like they're getting a break from the routine of their life.
CAPRICORN: Trampoline
Trampoline workouts are good for Capricorns because they can do it in the privacy of their own home, it's a great stress reliever, and it's fun. Sometimes Capricorns can be too serious, so they need a workout that will help them to let off some steam and feel like a kid at the same time.
AQUARIUS: Rucking
Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training — the Green Berets do it, and now everyday people can do it too. Rucking is hiking while wearing a backpack filled with 20 pounds (beginners) or 50 pounds (experts).
You don't have to get fancy with what you fill the backpack with, and some people just use rocks. This workout is good for Aquarians because they love nature, they like to do things on their own, and it not only builds strength and endurance but it's also said to build character.
PISCES: Goat Yoga
Take a yoga practice that moves your body, teaches you how to truly breathe, and centers your mind, and then add in cute baby goats. Well, that is heaven as a workout plan for Pisces. Goat yoga is a creative way to work out and has a lot of appeal for animal-loving Pisces.
