Group exercises/sports and gymnastics are good choices.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
- Health Your health is usually good, but the lack of physical exercise may prove harmful.
- Diet Cancerians are famous for their culinary skills. They love homemade food, prepared by their grandmother's recipe books. They always buy expensive, but quality food and no one can resist their specialties. People born under this sign tend to eat quickly and hate sharing their food. They do not care about their own health and often will overeat, especially when they are nervous. Due to their sensitive stomach, Cancerians often need to control their enormous appetite.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
- Health Your health is good thanks to your robustness which is above average, but your energy is such that you need to watch out several areas.
- Diet Leos are fond of expensive food, made only from the finest ingredients. They use every opportunity for a meal at luxury restaurant, which will contribute to feel like royalty. They are very disciplined when it comes to nutrition and they have built good eating habits. They often eat too fast, but never alone. They love when the table is filled with familiar faces and beloved ones, since then they feel most pleasant.

Tip: Consume more fruit and vegetables and reduce meals that include meat.
- Exercise Leo governs sports and recreation, so sports and fitness come naturally to you. Regular exercise is good for your circulation, but avoid overdoing it, especially in your upper back. Exercising in public appeals greatly to you; just avoid watching yourself in front of the mirror too much. Since you are a born leader, taking a class will probably bore you since someone else is in charge; you often excel at being your own personal trainer. Leos (especially men) are prone to heart attacks, so walking or jogging in the fresh air strengthens your circulatory system, though you may get out of breath quickly. Activities that work are Pilates, couples dancing, and any activity where you can show off.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
- Health Your health is good, particularly owing to your constant concern to improve yourself and think before you leap and... eat! You always have in mind the balance of your diet.
- Diet Virgos have too sensitive stomach, so they should be more careful what they eat. Virgo is the only sign that can be on a diet, without ever succumbing to the temptation to cheat. Slow metabolism is another problem for the Virgos, so they need to consume foods that are easily digested. People born under this sign make magic in the kitchen. They do not experiment with new products and spices, but no one can resist their delicious dishes. Virgos are very thrifty, but not when it comes to food. The irresistible taste is more important to them than the price. They hate to throw away food, even when it comes to leftovers, so the mission to prepare something from nothing is always successful.
Tip: Eat light and healthy food to avoid stomach discomfort.
- Exercise In general, Virgos like to stay fit; however, your interest probably comes more from a desire to be clean and healthy than vanity. With seemingly endless energy, you respond well to full body participation, so sports like cycling, football, and hockey hold your interest. You love to be outside, so keep that in mind; a smelly gym is not a good idea. Set realistic goals to avoid disappointment, which will interfere with your workout. You are usually very strong, so endurance sports also work well for you.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23)
- Health Your health is good owing in particular to your constant concern to remain beautiful, young, and attractive.
- Diet Libras are real food lovers. Every meal is a feast for them and they do not miss a opportunity to try everything they have available - salad, appetizer, main course and dessert. People born under this sign are dependent on chocolate and sweets, so they would give up the main course rather than the sweet pleasure that comes at the end of the meal.The aesthetic appearance of the food and table is especially important to the Libra. They have excellent design skills and can make wonderful decorations. They love good wine, especially red. If you want to surprise them, do not try with ordinary foods such as pizza or omelet. Carefully select a fancy, gourmet restaurant that will satisfy their refined taste.
Tip: Avoid eating too much chocolate if you want to maintain a good figure.
- Exercise Librans should focus on organized and gentle fitness options—posh health clubs appeal to you. Ice-skating and golf are options, but low-impact cardio and stretching will quiet down your brain. Avoid heavy lifting or anything that could cause stress to your lower back. You can be prone to fatigue or tiredness, so try to stay motivated. Finding a gym buddy is a good idea, but don’t get so carried away with socializing that you forget the workout.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21)
- Health Your health is very strong. However, owing to your tormented nature your propensity to take risks, you are prone to numerous more or less severe accidents.
- Diet Scorpios love high calorie food and they often get hungry, even at night. An empty refrigerator and the absence of spices can literally make them furious. They love spicy food and are excellent cooks, because of their ability to skillfully combine them. Scorpios cannot pretend when the food is not cooked according to their taste. They usually have lean and slim body, just because they follow the principle of all or nothing. This means that when they feel that they went too far, they will immediately start with dietary restrictions.
Tip: Replace the alcohol with larger amounts of water and teas.
- Exercise Scorpios are intense, so involve yourself in strenuous, competitive, and serious fitness activities with intense movement. Activities with spurts of extreme peaks and heart-pounding cardio appeal to you, but try to avoid being too hard on yourself, as you are prone to torn ligaments and other stress-induced injuries. Good activities are boxing, martial arts, triathlons, and distance running; skip the yoga. Since you need a lot of alone time, you will probably peddle or run faster when left alone. Have a focused cool down period since you need to soothe your nerves after being challenged.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
- Health Your health is very strong. During the first part of your life, your level of energy is very high.
- Diet They love exotic, non-standard and spicy foods, cookies, cakes... Sagittarians are curious, they love to experiment regularly and want to try everything. Their diet can often go from one extreme to another. At one point they may behave like they are very hungry and will greedily empty their plates, while at times they can starve for days. Because of the propensity to overeat and over-drink, people born under this sign often suffer from digestive problems.
Tip: Regardless of what you eat, do not overdo the quantity
- Exercise The healthiest of all the signs, Sagittarians need plenty of exercise, preferably outdoor activities. With your strong legs and thighs, skiing and biking are good options. Focus on stretches that build flexibility in your hamstrings to avoid straining your back. You can be accident-prone, so be careful when doing more extreme sports like skiing. You should also make sure you breathe deeply during exercise. It helps if there is a point to your workout; training for competitions is an excellent choice. Gyms are a good idea and having a workout buddy will increase your motivation.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
- Health Your health is more resistant than good, but it is enough to keep illnesses at bay and to enable you to live to a ripe old age safe and sound.
- Diet Capricorns are tireless workers, but they always find time for a good meal. For them, quality is always more important than quantity. The atmosphere while eating is especially important to them - it needs to be relaxed and calm. They love attending family dinners, and hate when someone tells them what to do. Capricorns are traditional people, so they love homemade food. Therefore, when they choose to search for their life companion, they do not forget to put cooking on the list of priority criteria. Although they don't like spices, sometimes tend to exaggerate with salt.
Tip: Be careful when adding salt to the food. Salt is your worst enemy.
- Exercise Capricorns do not expect immediate satisfaction, so endurance is the name of the game here. Since your sign governs the bones and joints, you need to move regularly to avoid feeling stiff. Hiking and rock climbing appeal to the mountain goat in you and also fill your need to challenge yourself. Jogging, walking, and cycling are good options as well, especially in long duration. Just be careful of your knees and don’t do anything too high impact.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
- Health Your health is very good because you are rather slim and mobile and not too interested in food, which constitutes the very frequent cause of many problems.
- Diet Aquarians are not selfish when it comes to sharing food and often prefer lowcalorie meals. They know how to enjoy in everything that is new, strange and unusual. People born under this sign are often vegetarians, due to their humanitarian nature. An additional reason for their fondness for vegetarianism is that they love vegetables and fruits, and would gladly replace the meat with a serving of fruit salad. While cooking, which happens rarely, they hate to blindly follow the recipes and always make changes, letting their creativity and imagination flow. The downside is that Aquarians can sometimes exaggerate coffee and late-night eating.
Tip: Skip the meal in the late evening hours, and opt for a hearty and healthy breakfast.
- Exercise Aquarians don’t like to feel restricted, so the more quirky the exercise, the more likely it will appeal to you. Skydiving and extreme sports are a good fit, but dancing also works well because of the freedom of movement. Training for long distance running and triathlons is a good idea since you are out there on your own. Do your best to avoid routine—you will get bored. Improving your circulation is key, so try activities like running and swimming.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)
- Health Your health is quite frail because you are sheer sentimentality and your nature is not too physical.
- Diet Pisceans are lovers of traditional food and they don't want to experiment. Pisceans pay more attention to the look than the taste of food. People born under this sign will appreciate more the good company on the table, than the meal in their plate. Food for them is just a need, not a pleasure. Their downside is that they can often exaggerate alcohol, which has negative effects on their health.
Tip: Drink plenty of water and learn to eat more slowly and to enjoy food.
- Exercise Your sign is not very sporty, so avoid strenuous activities. Options like yoga, running and dance use fitness for finding balance and peace. Pisceans are prone to all kinds of foot problems—bunions, breaks, even Athletes’ Foot. Water sports, especially swimming and surfing, are ideal for you, as water is pretty much your natural habitat. A true music lover, dancing and aerobics are a good activity, especially if there is a promise of a hot sauna afterward
