That way you can forego having to cycle through all the weekly fad diets and exercises that get fed to us by algorithms and start to build on a strategy that works for you.
If you want to not only start on your health journey to lose weight but also manage to make it part of your lifestyle and adopt healthy habits, then you should make sure to start with your personality, and this is where your zodiac sign comes in.
We are all different, but there are some inherent things that can be learned from our zodiac signs that, once met, will help you stay motivated and on track with your training regimen.
Keep on reading to discover which are the best ways in which each of the zodiac signs can lose weight and achieve their health goals!
Aries
Aries manages to stay on track with their fitness journey and their health diet if they manage to appeal to their competitive side.
While it may happen that you do not think your Aries loved or acquaintances are that comparative, there is something in all of them that loves that competitive edge.
Where this zodiac sign struggles is with the fact that they are prone to starting projects and being excited for them, but not managing to follow through with them.
They can end up starting and having a good run, but at one point they end up dropping the project because they do not feel challenged.
Making things into a competition can help this zodiac sign meet its goals and successfully continue to adopt this type of healthy routine.
A great way for Aries natives to make sure they are keeping their goals is to start their workout and weight loss journey together with a partner or friend so they get the motivation.
Otherwise, they should focus on a healthy diet and couple it with moderate workouts and cardio sessions! Another good example of what could get Aries to upkeep a healthy workout schedule includes running!
Since they are so driven by their fire energy, they will mold perfectly on running, and this would also help them be competitive within bounds, as they could train and rnu for 5k races all up to full marathons!
Taurus
This zodiac sign is known for its hedonistic tendencies, which makes managing to follow a regular exercise regimen and diet plan very difficult.
Taureans can easily get stuck in their own ways, and due to their slow, methodical nature, they can end up not doing all they can in order to achieve their weight loss goal!
Furthermore, they are lovers of rich foods, and they have a sweet tooth, which makes them prone to giving in any luxurious or scrumptious-looking food they see.
To ensure that Taurus will follow their plan to lose weight and upkeep their diet, these tasks should appeal glamorous or something exciting that will make them have an easier time keeping on track.
Astrologers say that if they end up feeling good about themselves when it comes to what they wear when they work out and if they find the value in splurging on a gym membership, then this will motivate them to actually use said membership.
Furthermore, if the gym also has other amenities, this may help them think about using the rest as a treat after their workout sessions.
So looking for a gym with a sauna, a pool, and even massage access may be the key to success.
It can also happen that some Taureans are not going to be fond of the idea of working out in a gym and would much rather prefer to be outdoors!
This can easily be solved if they pick up an activity that would help them burn calories while being outside in nature.
Hiking or long walks with their pup in the park could be the perfect answer for those natives who do not like the idea of a sweaty gym, no matter how luxurious, since it would appeal to the element that rules them, Earth!
Gemini
Geminis are always on the go, and they love to keep busy, so keeping a workout routine will not seem like something unattainable for them.
If you have not gotten started on any workout regimen yet, Geminis are said to enjoy the likes of fast walking and running the most, and astrologers suggest they should start with any of these two first.
Since they are constantly on the move, they will also fare well if they end up doing any of these exercises with a partner, so that they can keep in contact and talk with someone at the same time.
Starting to run or walk with a friend is definitely going to be successful. However, they have to be careful to find a partner that can keep up with them.
Geminis are multitaskers, and others may not fare as well with them when it comes to running.
This is why, if they cannot find a running or walking partner, they should aim to fill the silence with the likes of podcasts or music in order to not end up giving up on this task!
Another great partner sport they can try their hand at is tennis.
It will challenge them enough to keep things working in their favor and keep them motivated to get better, keep on playing, and have the satisfaction of being kept on their toes.
Cancer
Cancers are synonymous with homemakers, so if they have to lose weight, the best starting point for them is in the kitchen.
They are going to be amazing when it comes to recrafting their daily menus, and they will find the easiest way for them to upkeep their weight loss regimen is to do it through a diet plan.
Cancers are going to love being able to cook more, and astrologers also mention how they use food as a way to hide what they are truly feeling, so it is good to give them something to think about and start making those meals as healthy as possible.
Nutrition and dieting can be the way to go for cancers, and if you add in the element of making it a family affair, then it would appeal to their nurturing instinct.
That way they will be able to find fulfillment in maintaining the diet, and they will also have fun being able to experiment with new recipes and see what changes they can make to certain favorite dishes in order to make them healthier!
Keep in mind it is not always about taking away foods, especially if they are not truly detrimental to your health. But they can always try to make the food they have healthier and more nutritious than it was before; you can always add more veggies to your meal to make it healthier.
They are going to need familiar support, and this will motivate them to follow the diet and then slowly transition into the fitness part of it all too.
When they are ready to get to the physical workouts, things like Pilates and yoga will do wonders for them. They are mindful of exercising, and it will also help them break through various moods and calm their at times racing minds by focusing on the activity at hand.
If you do not know where to start with understanding healthy eating and recipes, you should see a dietician about it and then start to research healthy recipes. This cookbook was essential when my family started our weight loss journey!
Leo
Leo thrives in a social setting, and they love nothing more than being in the spotlight. A great way to get them to stick to their weight loss plan is to help them engage in some team sport.
The best choices are going to be the likes of basketball or soccer since these team sports will help them exhaust all the pent-up energy they have and everyone on the team has their own spotlight; you will not have a successful overall game.
Not only that, but these sorts of activities will both provide the exercise needed to get Leos to move their body and aid in their goal to lose weight, but it will always provide the opportunity for them to become star players.
Leos will benefit from being encouraged by the team setting and their own desire to shine in order to not give up once they have started, making this strategy the best alongside speaking with a dietician about their diet.
If you’re a Leo native and have already played a game when you were younger and you remember enjoying it, then you should look into picking it up again! It will both appease the nostalgic factor and help you get back on the health track.
And if you are worried about not managing to find any sports that you will be able to play due to not having enough players, try to see if you can join any established hobby groups or if you can start one with your friends who are also interested!
For those Leos who prefer to not be in team settings but still need to be challenged and want to let out that fire energy, kickboxing or boxing would be another great choice since it will give them all they crave in a less populated setting.
Keep in mind that no matter your zodiac sign, you need to do things at your own pace and within how permissible your fitness ability is.
Virgo
What makes Virgos likely to succeed is also what brings about their downfall: their perfectionism. There is no Virgo out there that does not fall prey to this personality trait, and this can bring about their inability to upkeep a workout regimen or diet.
They can easily feel discouraged when they do not see the results they want to see, and it can also end up being a double-edged sword since it can very well make them push harder, and if not done carefully, it can end up being detrimental to their health.
Many Virgo natives end up needing a little motivation or even help to stay on track with their exercise plan and healthy diet.
They are zodiac signs for which not being healthy is not a choice, so they are naturally more inclined to self-motivation than outside ones, but they need to feel supported.
A great way to help Virgos stay motivated is to aid them in feeling like they are stable in their choices and adding to their routine.
They are going to love having something become second nature, and while some may get obsessed, they can easily use the momentum and upkeep a healthy balance.
Since they need to integrate something into their lives, things like long walks and regular gym workouts would be the best choices for them. This will let them burn calories when they need to and when they can in their routine.
Likewise, if they love a challenge, they would do amazing in the likes of cross-fit. Their determination and ethics would help them excel at the sport and help them feel grounded in their choice.
Libra
Libras will never end up seeing any benefits when it comes to the extremes.
They are not going to be able to follow any new radical diet plans or fall for a trendy workout regimen since these types of things end up putting them off and may even turn them away from trying anything in the first place.
They are going to love a middle-ground approach best, and they are going to gravitate to what naturally maintains the balance they have already created in their life.
They do not want major tangents and promises of grandeur after a long period of suffering. They are however going to love when things are straight to the point and they can see something fit well into their daily routine!
Libras are not going to dedicate themselves to the goal of losing weight if it ends up creating more stress in their lives, so they need to find a balance in what they do; it needs to be fit for their lifestyle and it needs to not be causing them stress.
The best way to keep them motivated is to start on a workout journey with a partner or friend or even join a group that works out.
They need to feel like they are collaborating with someone and that they share their time in a meaningful way.
Since they are not prone to loving solitude, they are going to love being able to talk to others about their experience and share the good times (as well as challenges) with like-minded people!
The best class they can attempt is going to be Zumba since they will be able to let out their artistic side while also doing something with a group. Likewise, there are many other dance classes that could appeal to them if they feel like they need something else.
Another sport that would bring them the community they crave in order to upkeep their fitness journey is going to be a running club.
Scorpio
Scorpios are the opposite of the balanced zodiac sign, as they are going to go all out when it comes to weight loss. If Libras hate extremes, Scorpios are definitely the zodiac sign that will do what it takes to take it to the extreme.
However, this is because it appeals to their intense and passionate nature, and they need to see some results that are also going to appeal to their nature.
It’s all or nothing, and one of the best ways to get them to stick to their plan is to get on with doing something that appeals to their fighting spirit, or maybe that is something with enough drama to keep them entertained.
Since they are not the ones to look for a challenge, what will work for them is going to be managing to change their lifestyle, and that will stick. Astrologers mention the likes of kickboxing or heavy weightlifting as something they are going to enjoy.
Whatever it is that they put their mind to, they will stick to, so the choice of workout that is going to make a permanent change to their life is the way to go, not just a new routine.
One thing to keep in mind is that crash diet plans are never a good choice and that they should be encouraged to work out within the limits of their body so as not to cause harm to themselves in their pursuit of losing weight.
Sagittarius
The one thing that stops Sagittarians from sticking to a workout plan is the fact that it feels like a chore.
This is why the key for them to upkeep the meal plan and exercise is to ensure that they find everything fun.
Appeal to their sense of adventure, and you may just have hit the jackpot.
They are risk takers, so you will not see them backing down from trying something different and new, so when you are looking for ways to help them lose weight, you need to appeal to these parts of their personalities.
They are willing to try anything, from wall climbing to hiking and horseback riding! As long as they have that sense of adventure associated with the activity, they will dedicate themselves to it and upkeep the good work.
What will not work is a basic workout that keeps repeating; they get bored easily, and the key to not letting them give up on their workout routine is to keep it as varied as possible and get them to enjoy it.
If they enjoy their time, they are not going to want to give up on losing weight!
A more structured, indoor type of workout that is going to help Sagittarians is going to be bungee workouts! They are going to be able to have lots of fun while they burn calories and also not have to focus on the idea of dropping pounds since the classes are extremely fun!
Capricorn
If you want to find someone more extreme than a Virgo when it comes to regimen and very strict routines, then you are not going to look past Capricorns.
Since they are so strict with their routines and want to see them through to the end, they will not have any issues sticking to a workout and meal plan.
They are meticulous, and once they are convinced that this is what they should do, they are going to stick to the plan and not waste the effort they put into planning everything accordingly.
Capricorns are responsible, so you should not worry too much about them; however, they are going to like convenient things. If they have a gym or workout classes close to home, they are going to love that the most.
If not, they may love to take up running in the mornings since that would not ruin the rest of their day. As long as they get to integrate the weight loss plan into their daily lives, they will take pride in achieving their goals, and this will definitely keep them on track!
This is why more out-of-the-box, military-style types of workouts may be amazing for them. Think about the likes of boot camp at dawn, early morning runs down the beach or around the neighborhood.
Likewise, it could also help them to join the likes of crossfit since they would be open to the challenge and the structure of the workout would appeal to their analytical brains.
Aquarius
Aquarians are the one zodiac sign that is going to be up to date with everything that is new in the online space.
They are going to know about that new diet trend and the most effective workout, and they may even know the ones that are going to become big in the following couple of months.
They are inquisitive, so their venturing on their own to find out and try new things is going to help them. The thing that may hold them back is their need for individuality and freedom; if everyone else is doing something to lose weight, they will not want to be doing it too.
Motivating Aquarius to stick to their weight loss goal can be tricky since they would like to be able to do something that is different and unique, and potentially something avant-garde. They want to be against the grain.
This is why astrologers suggest that the perfect way to help them keep moving is to combine workouts with an art form, which makes dance classes or Zumba perfect for them.
Another choice would be for them to try aerial yoga, which is less about the fun dance aspect but still artistic enough that it would appeal to this zodiac sign.
A more out-of-the-box choice would be fencing, but this one would be a bit harder to achieve, though we leave it to the ever-full of ideas Aquarians to find a way to make this sport their primary workout!
Any of these will help them perceive the workout as something new and exciting, and it will be more about the performance than an obsession with losing weight.
Pieces
The only way in which Pieces will find workouts worth their time is if they are also going to be mentally stimulating. This zodiac sign is more inclined to take care of their mental health than the physical one, and you can see them prioritizing the first rather than the latter in a lot of cases.
A good start for them is to get more movement in through walking and meditating at the same time.
Another good way to make workouts appealing to Pieces is to find the ones that are going to be done outside in nature since that will help them be inspired and upkeep their new routine.
The likes of yoga, medicating, qigong, and tai chi may be the perfect choices since they are not as high-impact as the workouts Aries prefer, and it will appeal to Pieces’ sensibilities!
Likewise, since they are water signs, they can learn from their element and try out swimming or aqua gym.
These types of activities will help them become more in tune with their roots, and it will help them become closer to who they are. It may also help them learn a new lifesaving skill since not everyone knows how to swim, and it is never too late to try to change that!
