Workout rountines...

Since "we" are supposed to be the health freaks of the zodiac (which doesnt really apply to me lol)

what is you favorite workout routine?
what are you currently doing?

I just started (on my 2nd week) Focus T25 (shawn T's new one...beachbody) Its only 25 mins but its a good one. Im so out of shape that I have to start small and work my way up...I have p90x that I am so bound and determined to finish...maybe after this or I might do asylum then p90x.

I'm not a gym rat...as when I go...I never know what to do...vids seem so much more structured for me...only down fall is the couch is right there lol

i dont understand the "health nut" part of a Virgo, I am definitely not one

My favorite "workout" takes place in the bedroom and isn't for public description. 😈

J/K My favorite way to exercise is playing team sports. It's a fun way to work up a sweat and burn calories, get your cardio in, all while hanging out with friends.

The routine I've been doing lately is mixing up some Cassey Ho Pop Pilates, Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown, and some Billy Blanks Tae Bo at home, and of course getting in some treadmill time. I'll hit the gym a couple times a week to work with the punching bag and weights. I wouldn't call myself a gym bunny either really but it feels good to keep the endorphin buzz going and crank up the metabolism.

Hahaha howd I know someone would say sex. I meant to put that in the op but I was in a hurry.

I would love to play a team sport again...I played basketball, volleyball and ran track....loved it. I need to look into this.

Good god woman....so when exactly do you do anything else lol jk. I like the mixing it up....keeps it from getting boring and quitting. I did try the j Michaels 30 day shred...stuck with it for 2 weeks and then something came up and never went back to it. I need to stay motivated...so I put up a sign on my tv...that says "you cant watch tv until you work out...so get off your ass" then when I'm done ...I take it down and put it up before I go to bed...so far so good lol

My job is very stressful....so as soon as I get home I just wanna relax. Not anymore lol

I personally need to be outdoors, it's more fun that way, than being stuck in a gym or yoga class, examples, playing tennis horribly, hiking, walking, riding a bike, etc.

I recall tho, telling the Virgo how good avocados were, mind you i'm a health freak in my brain, but a total horrible eater in reality, you won't find me doing anything healthy for myself. Well this guy was like really Avocados, next thing you know he's telling me the prices of Avocados how expensive they are, telling me how he eats it, uses it. He totally got into it.

He's very into his health, but than everything also makes him sick, even guilt.

Outdoors is a good choice...but if its muggy and nasty ...I dont want anything to do with it lol. I want air conditioning and a fan blowing on me working out...I cant stand to be hot. lol

If I remember correctly, the fascination with health mostly has to do with the 6th house (Virgo's ruling house), what planets are positioned there and which sign is on the cusp. I have Cancer on the cusp which creates a direct emotional connection to how I approach work and my health; like if I start feeling stressed then I start getting headaches and my stomach will act up and whatnot, but if I'm feeling healthy and well-balanced I tend to be in a good mood. That house is empty for me except for my Lilith in Leo which seems to encourage some obsession around work routine and health and also feeds the vanity lol. Health and looking good are closely tied in my world.

Ahhh thats why...my 6th house is in Taurus and the only thing I have is juno.
My stomach used to get upset when stressed when I was younger....now I hold all of it in my neck and shoulders to a point that I've almost passed out because my neck was so tight...it I assume was cutting of the circulation to my brain :/ Its horrible...

Becoming a health nut slowly, it comes with age.
I don't think following some gym "guru" makes much sense, you can simply read online about good exercises. Few simple but undervalued tips would be:

1. Limit total exercise time to 47 minutes, after which it would simply go to waste.
2. Train 2-3 different muscle groups per session.
3. Eat/drink an after workout meal 20 minutes after finishing. My favorite is grains (vitamin B, very beneficial) with berries (vitamin C) and banana (fructose) in milk (lactose, proteins).
4. Find exercises that fit your body type best, people are shaped differently.
5. Be sure to train lots of different muscle groups.
6. Stretch.
7. Take days off, give your body rest.

My routine consists either of 15-40km cycling, and 20 minutes on the machines or lifting weights and doing abs. Working out isn't rocket science.

Yeah what iss with the stomach, it can be the most sensitive spot when having sex and the most painful when you are stressed. Why is that?

Virgo is supposed to rule the intestines. I get kind of a double shot of it because I have a Cancer Moon and Cancer is also connected to the stomach, but with a Virgo stellium like yours I'm really not surprised that you could face some issues there if you get upset.

Good god woman....so when exactly do you do anything else lol jk.

LOL It's really not as much as it sounds like it is. I made a routine out of setting aside an hour a night to get exercise in. It's gotten to where I actually start to miss it and begin feeling like crap if I skip a few days.

Thats exactly where I want to get to...make it a routine and to where I feel like crap if I dont. I wish I would have just done this a long time ago...but life happened, excuses I know..but at least Im doing it now lol

Hahaha...I'm slowly becoming one too.

well its not necessarily "following a gym guru"....its the structure aspects of it...following something is easier for me to stick with it as opposed to try to make up my own. I guess it just boils down to personal preferences
