Sun Sign Fitness ( august )

PISCES
Explore these new horizons as you enjoy this new level of health you’re experiencing.
You’re going to have to make some decisions that could affect your fitness routine. What are you hoping to gain in the long term?
What could you do right now that will help you get as fit as possible? Treat yourself to a dance class or maybe a long nap.
You’ve earned it!

ARIES
Take your workout outside for a fun summer adventure. Some intense yoga or a backpacking trip might just do the trick. Get back into nature to heal yourself. Work out your upper body when the sun enters glamorous Leo on the twenty- second and makes you want to look good for the summer. A massage will do wonders for you.

TAURUS
Summer may be full of fun and relaxation, but you’ll want to pencil in some healing along with your next big pool party. Use this time to embark on a fitness adventure with your pals. Embrace the power of friendship as you continue your quest for better health.

GEMINI
Don’t set unreasonable goals, but do try to up your fitness game to the next level. Maybe increase the speed on your exercise bike or change your diet. You may not feel the burn, but you’ll be feeling much healthier. Maybe it’s time to switch things up by changing your workout routine. Go jogging outside.

CANCER
Own up, Cancer, we know you haven’t been to the gym. Yes, we’ve heard your excuses: You’re tired. The gym is too far away. You don’t know where your gym bag is. Confront your excuses and get to the real reason you’re ignoring your health. Use this time to reach small, manageable health goals like planning meals or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. The small steps really can lead to big results.

LEO
Wow! All that hard work at the gym has really paid off, Leo. Not only are you looking good but you’re feeling good, too! Embrace the magic of summer by catching some waves or working on your tan. A yoga class or long walk will clear your mind and ease the tension in your body. Take deep breaths, too.

VIRGO
You have a lot of big fitness goals planned for yourself. You want to feel stronger and more energized, and you want to look more toned. Just keep following your regular routine and you’ll be fine. Don’t forget to work out every part of your body. Balance is the name of the game this season. Include some breathing techniques in your routine. Later, you’ll be glad you did.

LIBRA
Before you hit the gym, have a physical done by your doctor to make sure everything is in tip-top condition. You don’t want to get injured and ruin all the progress you’ve made. Use this time to focus on the areas you want to improve. Go for a nice, relaxing swim to ease some of that tension. Go to bed earlier - you need your rest.

CAPRICORN
Have you been thinking of trying something new? Has that new salsa dancing class caught your eye? Maybe you’re considering trying your hand at whitewater rafting? Whatever it is, this is the perfect time to try it out! Take your fitness goals one day at a time, and be kind to yourself. You’re only human.
Don’t give up.

SCORPIO
You might be tempted to lock yourself in your room and watch bad TV. Head to the  gym instead and burn off that stress. Remember, endorphins make you happy! Make a list of the wellness goals you want to reach in the weeks to come.
Accept your own limitations and work from there. While you may enjoy jogging, you must remember that life isn’t a race.

SAGITTARIUS
Embrace the wonder  of outdoor summer workouts. Use it to your advantage by going on an outdoor adventure with your friends. Take a hike in nature or partake in a friendly game of beach volleyball. Look at your mental fitness. Ask yourself how you’re feeling emotionally. Make sure you feel as good as you look.

AQUARIUS
You could start the month by doing some pretty intense workouts
- really pushing yourself. All this movement will be great for your brain as well. You could find that your most creative ideas come when you’re working out. Do you have any physical or emotional pain that hasn’t healed? Now is the time to focus on that. Remember, you can’t take care of others until you take care of yourself.
