5 Zodiac Signs Who Are Super Into Fitness
They tend to workout more than once a day.
getty For some people, diet and exercise is only a means to an end. Maybe they want to lose weight, but for them, there’s not a whole lot of joy in fitness. Then there are those who are really into fitness and work out frequently — not just to be in good shape but because they enjoy it.
Fitness gives shape to their lives, and when they eat junk food or miss a couple of days at the gym, they feel like crap. This goes for the zodiac signs who are into fitness and make it their passion. And whether or not you believe in astrology, there's no doubt that the stars play some role in our lives.
If you’d rather sit on the couch and binge-watch Netflix, you’re probably not the type of person who is really into fitness. You may be in good shape and go to the gym or run regularly, but you don’t love it. You work out because you know it’s good for you and it’s something you have to do. You may do the same routine over and over again, but if you’re honest, exercise bores you.
When you’re into fitness, you tend to change things up. You may have certain days that you go to the gym, other days where you ride your bike, and sometimes you may play tennis or go swimming. You’re happy when you move your body and get your heart pumping — and it’s not just the endorphins that make you feel that way! It’s being active and having fun.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are into moving their body and expending energy, and fitness is a perfect way to do both those things. Aries tend to do a variety of workouts: they'll go to the gym and work on the machines, or do yoga, Pilates, hiking, swimming, and tennis.
They love competition, so if they can combine exercise with winning, they're happy. They don't care if their fitness is traditional or not, they just need a variety that works as many of their muscles as possible.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are very determined with their fitness. If they don't do something at least once a day, they'll feel it. Leos like to work out with friends or do things like Zumba, Pound, or aqua-aerobics — anything that has music and feels like a party.
Leos are the kind of people who can make everyday chores like doing the dishes or vacuuming into a workout just by putting on an upbeat playlist and dancing while working. They are more likely to do a workout they enjoy than an activity they hate; they're disciplined but not enough to torture themselves.
3. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios love to win, and because they're so into fitness, they often make their workout into a competition — many times just with themselves. It's not unlikely to see a Scorpio writing in a notebook or recording on an app the number of reps they've done and what they've accomplished.
Scorpios understand terms like PR (personal record) and PB (personal best), and they're always trying to break their own record. They're not the type of person to try to get away with doing as little exercise as possible — they push themselves to always do better than the day before.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Like Scorpios, Capricorns are always trying to top themselves, but unlike Scorpios, Capricorns welcome feedback. They want a trainer or a coach to tell them where they need to improve and to push them harder. Capricorns enjoy group fitness and are always trying to be the best, whether it's in a class or on a team.
They also try to eat healthily and are often on a mission to get more protein into their diet. Capricorns do reward themselves when they feel like they deserve it, like when they went to the gym and really weren't feeling it, or if they did more reps than they ever thought possible. They like having a routine and building up their stamina.
5. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You can tell a Virgo is into to fitness if you check out their closet and find that they have almost as many workout clothes as regular clothes. Virgos often work out more than once a day, and it's not unlike them to do a spin class in the morning, do reps at lunch, and do the elliptical after work.
A Virgo probably invented the personal water bottle because they're often concerned with being hydrated enough. Not only are they into fitness, but they also tend to demand that their loved ones be into fitness too; they will encourage them to go to the gym or find a personal workout program and a routine that they'll stick to.
