| SHAPE-UP
PROGRAMS: Music becomes one of the most effective
motivations for Gemini's, Libras, and Capricorns. Since
they have rhythmic talents, aerobics are especially suitable
for them, as is any combination of music and rather formalized
exercises. Aries and Sagittarians are brilliant gymnasts,
and Leos, being somewhat daredevils, find that working
on trapezes or other sports equipment turns exercise into
a hobby. Pisceans and Cancers want grace in exercise,
so dancing is ideal. Cancers and Taureans often need spot-reducing
more than anything and find that programs keyed to these
needs bring fast results. Virgos and Scorpios do best
when working on or with fitness machinery, as they insist
on efficiency even in exercise. Aries and Gemini's want
diversity in their exercise regimes, while the Virgos,
Taureans, and Capricorns prefer to stick with one tried-and-true
course. Taureans and Scorpios find they must set a goal,
and have some additional motivation, to stick with a program
long enough for it to work.
EASTERN TRADITIONS: The water
signs of Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces are temperamentally
more suited to mystical forms of physical exercise because
they are naturally intuitive. For these three signs,
body conditioning begins and ends with mental exercises.
Tai Chi Chuan, yoga, and karate are all ideal interests.
For Aries, Leos, and Sagittarians, they need to slow
down, so medication, massage, and hot tubs are essential
to control stress and bring mental and physical relaxation.
Gemini’s, Libras, and Aquarians may fall asleep doing
some of the quiet eastern exercises, so kundalini yoga
could inspire them to bring body and mind into unison.
Other traditions for them would be any holistic approach
to health works. They begin by reading and studying
all they can, and only then do they evolve to a more
physical interest on Oriental styles of fitness. These
three signs also find self-defense methods to exercise
particularly stimulating.
SPORT: Running
is ideal for individualistic Gemini’s, Aquarians, and
Sagittarians, all of whom have luck running marathons.
Tennis is a marvelous social sport for Libras, Leos,
and Cancers. Scorpios and Capricorns take tennis and
golf much too seriously, turning then into work. Pisceans
and Aries adore the relaxation golf affords; Taureans
and Virgos do best with indoor sports such as racquetball,
Ping-Pong, or bowling. Capricorns and Scorpios release
tension by swimming or sailing; Aquarians and Leos get
special pleasure from softball and other team sports.
Seasons of the year make a difference when trying to
utilize celestial luck. CAPRICORNS, AQUARIANS, and PISCEANS
find their willpower peaks in Jan. and again in June.
For CANCERIANS, LEOS and VIRGOS their undoing is summer
time entertaining. If these 3 signs can keep away from
temptations in May and Aug., they save themselves a
year of dieting. LIBRAS, SCORPIOS, AND SAGITTARIANS
are overly influenced by friends. They must set a diet
and/or exercise plan - and only after they have set
a goal should they then reveal it. Finally ARIES, TAUREANS,
and GEMINI'S are most likely to love weight before a
vacation or trip. These signs have such pride, that
they refuse to let old friends see them out of shape.
They overindulge most on holidays.
