The gym is a great place to find romance, provided you use the right strategy. Determining a person's Sun sign will provide valuable clues as to how they should be approached. Here are some tips that will tell you how to recognize each sign, as well as what to do to win their heart.
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
How to Recognize: Keep your eyes open for someone sporting copious amounts of red -- usually in the form of an ultra-tight tee shirt and shorts. The Ram is usually the one doing a fair imitation of the Six Million Dollar Man on the treadmill. Alternately, Aries will be burning up the mat in an aerobics class.
How to Seduce: Wait until Aries is done with their workout -- this sign refuses to break its stride -- and then ask for tips on getting in shape. Rams love to take the leadership role, both in the gym and bedroom. By giving this natural athlete plenty of admiration, they'll reward you with a date.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
How to Recognize: The Bull is renowned for its well-muscled body. Therefore, you can usually find this sign lifting weights or climbing a rock wall. Taurus is utterly tasteful and likes to be well-covered at the gym -- you'll rarely find this sign sporting mini-shorts and a bare midriff. The ultimate sensualist, this sign usually carries their own fluffy towel.
How to Seduce: Offer to spot them while they're pumping iron. Bulls tend to work up a big appetite while exercising, so an invitation to lunch or dinner is always welcome. This sign loves to laugh, so you can also try a self-deprecating joke like, "Usually, the only exercise I ever get is running after the Good Humor truck," or "I'm into heavy lifting, too. Every day, I carry my lunch to work."
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
How to Recognize: Restless Gemini can never stay in one spot for long; they're the ones who do five minutes on the elliptical, followed by eight minutes on the stationary bike, and then ten minutes on the rowing machine. This sign is also very chatty and may spend their entire workout calling various friends on their cell.
How to Seduce: People who are born under the sign of the Twins are usually big readers. If you're looking to start a conversation, express interest in the magazine article they are reading. Gemini also loves to offer opinions on everything under the Sun. If you spot this sign listening to music, tap them on the shoulder and say, "Can I ask what music you're listening to? You seem to be getting great results."

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
How to Recognize: The Crab is extremely self-conscious, particularly at the gym. This sign can usually be found at the back row of your exercise class. Cancer is also a water enthusiast, and often enjoys doing laps in the pool. Keep your eyes open for a shy, retiring type who erupts into goofy laughter whenever a machine malfunctions or a mishap occurs.
How to Seduce: Cancer is the ultimate nurturer. Asking this sign to take you under their wing will arouse their immediate interest. Try an opening line like, "Excuse me, I'm new to this gym. Can you recommend any good exercise classes?" or, "I'm such a klutz can you tell me if I'm using this machine correctly?" The Crab will immediately take pity on you and take you into their confidence.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
How to Recognize: Look for the person burning rubber on the treadmill, yet who still manages to exude a sexy glow. The Lion's distinctive mane is also a dead-giveaway, even if it is tied in a ponytail or restrained with a headband. Leos favor aerobic exercise -- you won't find many hanging about the weight room. This sign isn't a bit self-conscious, and often sings along with their iPod.
How to Seduce: Leo loves to be admired. Compliment this sign on their racquetball swing, swim stroke or running shorts. Mention that you've been eager to meet them, but you were afraid to approach the most attractive member of the gym. Treat this love object like royalty, opening doors for them and walking two steps behind. The Lion will soon melt beneath your solicitude.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
How to Recognize: The Virgin always looks neat and well-scrubbed, even when they're working up a sweat. This sign favors workout clothes made of natural fibers -- you won't ever catch them wearing polyester or spandex. You can usually find Virgo in a yoga, tai chi or Pilates class -- these folks enjoy exercise comprising precise movements. These folks are also natural teachers, and may even be your gym's favorite instructor.
How to Seduce: There's nothing Virgo hates more than a crass pickup line. Approach this sign reverently and respectfully. Ask them to recommend a good exercise class. Inquire if they know of any good juice bars in the area. If the Virgin is wearing a tee shirt advertising their favorite humanitarian cause, pepper him or her with questions about it. Virgo is among the most socially conscious members of the zodiac.
