Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle – with Help from Your Sun Sign!

Perhaps the healthy eating regimen you set out for yourself at the New Year has fallen by the wayside. Or maybe you've used winter's inclement weather as an excuse to cocoon rather than pursue a new gym membership. Still, it's never too late to become what you might have been, so here's a sign-by-sign guide to making important lifestyle changes that could benefit you for a lifetime.

Aries
You're the first to get on the fitness train -- and also the quickest to grow bored with the routine. Break your bigger resolutions into smaller weekly or monthly ones, then attack each of them in turn. Competition is your biggest motivator, so regularly challenging a friend to a fitness contest will help keep you on track.

Taurus
You love a sedentary lifestyle and your sweets, and it's so difficult for you to give them up. Research shows it takes 21 days to form a new habit, so pinpoint your fitness goals, then tackle one at a time as you persevere for three straight weeks. Once you get into a groove, chances are you'll eventually end up with a healthy new routine -- for good!

Gemini
You can be surprisingly fixed in your approach to exercise and eating habits -- once you've made up your mind, that is. The trouble is getting you to that point. You love to keep up with the latest diet or supplements, and you want to try everything. If you set a goal and put on the blinders, you'll soon see encouraging results.

Cancer
Emotional eating is your downfall and you tend to pack your pantry with loads of items. So why not turn this tendency into an asset? Find recipes for low-fat and reduced-calorie versions of your favorite comfort foods, turn them into pre-prepared, portion-controlled meals, and load your freezer with them. Now you'll have time for exercise class!

Leo
You can be very proactive about fitness, and with the right motivation, you can persevere right on through. Tap dance, salsa, or zumba appeals to your fun and flirtatious side. You need an audience, though, so join a group or rally a few friends who'll applaud your efforts. Get a full-length mirror so you can try on new outfits that show off your freshly slim physique.

Virgo
You're well informed about healthy lifestyles, and you can list all your dietary sensitivities. Too often, though, you fail to put your knowledge into action as you get lost in the chaos of your busy schedule. Carve out time to set up a sensible plan for yourself, then use your sharp organizational skills to track your progress, remembering to include downtime throughout.

Libra
Your biggest challenge is embracing a healthy lifestyle for the right reason: yourself! Don't make changes to please your partner or fulfill some "ideal" vision of what you should look like. That's not to say you can't have a fitness buddy with whom you can work out or share eating tips -- on the contrary, as that's the best strategy to keep you on track!

Scorpio
Once you make up your mind to get healthy, there's no stopping you. After all, your willpower is formidable, especially when it comes to what you eat. You tend to exercise sporadically, though, so if you can find an activity with an element of sexy fun (a pole-dancing class, perhaps?), you'll find yourself likely to stick with it.

Sagittarius
Put bluntly, your easygoing approach is often your downfall: You tend to consume whatever's available or in front of you, with a weakness for high-fat foods. Small changes to your diet will yield big results over time. Make sure you include an exercise component -- since you enjoy most any activity that takes place out of doors, make it a regular occurrence!

Capricorn
You're good at setting systematic goals and sticking with them; if you don't achieve immediate results, however, you tend to get down on yourself. Remind yourself that you need to be in top shape to achieve your lofty career aims. Include stretching sessions or yoga, as you need to maintain flexibility ... in more ways than one!

Aquarius
You have the most effective wellness plan going -- the trouble is, it's all in your head! Given that you're an intellectual sign, you need to push yourself to put all that theory into practice. Motivate yourself by joining a group -- a setting in which you shine -- because sharing your experiences and knowledge will help inspire others to improve themselves as well.

Pisces
You need fitness goals, but you're bound to fail if they're too unrealistic or involve an overly strict regimen. Set up a sound wellness program, then look for a strong, like-minded person who can serve as a mentor of sorts and offer gentle encouragement. Finally, use visualization techniques: Picture your ideal self and you'll soon achieve it!
