Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Respect the ups and downs of your energy levels. In the mornings you need mild exercise ... especially back stretches to strengthen your lower back. Evenings are best for dance and aerobics. Fatigue and tiredness come from too many carbs and not enough water. Drink more pure water!
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You crave grueling and challenging obstacle courses for your morning exercise and easily complete what most signs can’t even begin. This makes you the marathon champion. Just be careful not to use your fitness challenges to hide from your feelings -- that could cause you health troubles. Go high fiber, low fat and lots of water.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
The best sports for you are running, walking, skiing and climbing. Traveler that you are, you love to move through space ... being confined makes you restless. You can literally become sick if you don’t exercise enough, and the same goes for deep breathing. Your sign rules exhaled breath and may cause you to breathe shallowly. So say “yes” to yoga!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Nothing strenuous, dear Goat, as your sign makes your knees the weakest link. Instead of running, try gentle walking or swimming. You are a natural climber, and as long as you don’t overdo it -- especially in the sun -- you will always reach the top. See if there is a good climbing wall in your town; you’ll be ready to head for the mountains when summer comes.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
You do best with unusual exercise such as surfing, snowboarding, gliding or parachuting. Also, exercise that allows you to express yourself -- like aerobic dance -- is a must. Whenever you have to exercise in a gym, make sure you have music to motivate you. Aquarius rules circulation, so get yours moving.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
As the most watery of the water signs you need to be careful of water retention and bloating. Ironically, spending as much time in water as you can -- swimming, even bathing -- prevents this. Drink water, not soda; don’t miss your sleep; be careful with your feet and do try Tai Chi!
