The Zodiac and Sports

Then, the fact that you are the first sign of the Zodiac gives you a true instinct for competition. You always want to be the winner also. It is out of the question to accept a walk-on part. The more demanding the discipline is, the happier you are. You need to sweat and to be aching all over, for this is an outlet for your combative energy. Therefore, consider all speed sports. Both athletics and motor race provide the adrenalin which makes you thrill. Skiing may also suit you, downhill race rather than slalom.

In addition, you are quite an individualist because you enjoy doing what you want to, and when you want to. Or if people follow you and ask you to be their coach, this alternative also suits you. Lastly, for extreme cases, boxing or enrolling in a boot camp may be good ideas.

Swimming is good for you, but also water aerobics, which makes your muscles work in-depth but effortlessly.

Along the same lines, trekking in a desert, or biking across a continent may be exciting. On the other hand, you can hardly be locked up in a fitness centre, even if it were the most beautiful place in your region.
