Fitness for Leo
Your Ruling Planet: The
Sun, the giver
of life, which gives you strength, vitality and confidence.
The Part Of The Body Your Sign
Rules: Leo rules the heart, back and spine.
Your Metabolism: Medium
to high.
Your Health Profile:
A fire
sign, Leo is known to be happy and warmhearted. Keep your
heart healthy and fit with good nutrition and frequent aerobic
exercise. You're happiest in a social setting, so don't work
out alone. Join a health club or exercise class to get the
best results. Leo loves music too, so you probably would like
to work out to lively music. Lionesses especially love to
move to music, so try going out dancing, maybe to a techno
rave or a salsa club. Male Leos like macho, commanding sports,
so if you're king of the beasts get in touch with your animal
nature by learning how to kickbox!
You will love the attentions of your own personal
trainer, and be insured of great results! Anything tailored
just to your needs and tastes will give you support and confidence--and
a chance to achieve your personal best. Note this also applies
to coaches: for sports like tennis and golf.
Leo needs exercise that strengthens his or
her spine and back. Leo also needs to maintain agility. Power
walking could be useful on both counts as well as Pilates,
Yoga or calisthenics classes. Since your sign adores fun and
games, hit the park for strenuous athletic fun, such as basketball,
or organize a softball team. Sign up to compete on a regular
basis--it won't feel like a regimen this way. Leo doesn't
like to be in a routine rut. When you travel, pick warm climates.
Leos as a rule don't like to feel cold or clammy.
In terms of eating, you don't like to fuss
too much, unless you're putting on a lavish spread for company.
Your favorite way of handling dinner is to order out or go
to a restaurant to eat, because you enjoy being served. Collect
takeout menus of places that have healthful, low-fat meals.
This will help you avoid falling into the fast-food trap.
All those tacos will create havoc with your sleek, muscular,
leonine form! Like Libra, Leo likes to party, but too much
alcohol and frequent late hours will drag you down quickly.
Learn when you need to say when.
Your Biggest Asset:
Looking good. Face it: vanity is your most
powerful motivation.
What Drives You Crazy:
Working out anywhere that's too cold is not
good (after all, you are ruled by the Sun!), whether it is
indoors or out. Forget skiing (snow is not usually your "thing"),
hockey or figure skating. Instead go rollerblading, biking,
or horseback riding out on the open range! Also, sitting in
a windowless cubicle for too long without a break will make
you out of sorts. Especially in winter, be sure you get your
daily dose of sunshine to combat the blues.
Health Risks:
Your enthusiasm peaks quickly and sometimes
cannot be sustained. Avoid burnout by commiting to a varied
program of cross-training to insure you're always doing something
you like.
