Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries is a main fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action and energy, so you’ll have the best time at a cardio boxing class like Rumble or Fightcamp. “Aries love to do battle in a friendly environment full of competition and energy,” says Garbis. You’ll love learning new punch combos, sweating it out, and pushing yourself as hard as you can.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Try a power yoga routine to get your heart rate up—and then enjoy your closeness with a shower and a new pair of sweatpants. If you want to venture outside, go for a hot yoga cardio class like CorePower Yoga.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Geminis enjoy running on the treadmill, practicing sprints, and popping outside for long-distance jogs. To play your Gemini way, keep your mind active the whole time by using a running app so you can work at your own pace and improve your times. Podcasts won’t hurt either.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Since Cancerians love being close to the water, see if you can gather your best friends for an exciting game of beach volleyball. “With their cardinal water energy ruled by the Moon, they’d love some friendly competition with the people they love,” says Garbis.
If the beach isn’t an option, try rowing. Cancers are nurturing and sensitive, according to Dettman, so you may enjoy the repetitive, soothing, almost meditative experience of rowing a machine.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leo, get yourself a dance cardio class, ASAP. As a fire sign ruled by the Sun, you’re all about loud music and a fun atmosphere. You can recreate this at home with a pair of headphones and a dance workout app like The Sculpt Society, or you can go old school and take a Zumba workout — or even a salsa class. “Leos will love moving and rocking to hot music and being the center of attention,” says Garbis.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
“As an Earth sign, Virgo is detail-oriented and practical,” says Dettman. That’s why you’ll enjoy any type of cardio that allows you to track your progress, such as running or cycling. (Virgo Dear A peloton.) It’s not so much the type of workouts you can do, but the fact that you see yourself breaking records and improving each week.
Timing also matters when it comes to your cardio, so consider exercising in the afternoon rather than in the evening, when you’re probably pooping. “Virgos love to relieve their stress and tension from a strenuous morning at work,” says Garbis.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, you are an air sign through and through. This is the reason why you always hate solo workouts like jogging and weight lifting, but you thrive when you work out with friends. To lean into your breezy energy, Dettman suggests group fitness classes, like dance cardio or barre. It can also be fun to get outside and try tennis or pickleball. You’ll be laughing till you sweat, you’ll be into it.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
For Scorpios, the sweatier the workout, the better. As a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto, the planet of change, you’re all about routines that boost your energy with a rush of endorphins, says Garbis. Look for things that get your heart rate up, like Tabata classes with challenging circuits. Any type of high-intensity interval training—especially if it requires some mental focus—will be right up your alley.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You’re not one for the gym, Sagittarius, so don’t be afraid to try something different when it comes to your cardio routine. “As a fire sign, Sagittarius is adventurous and free-spirited,” Dettman tells Bustle. “They love exercise that allows them to explore new places.” Trail running and hiking are two great options, whether that means jogging around your local park or taking to the hills on the weekend.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn is one of the most disciplined and hard working signs in the zodiac. To fully embrace your earth sign, Dettman suggests choosing a cardio workout that requires you to push yourself, whether it’s rowing, climbing stairs, or training for a marathon. Anything that requires a slow and steady pace, as well as a lot of mental fortitude, will feel right.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius is a quirky air sign ruled by Uranus, which means you’re down for any type of workout that feels fun and creative, Garbis says. Usually, that means hitting up a group fitness class like SoulCycle, where you’ll dance on your bike, burn away your stress and feel like part of a club.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Represented by fish, Pisces is a mutable water sign ruled by Neptune, says Garbis, which is why you should try working out in a pool. Think swimming laps or a pool fitness class, where you get to exercise while splashing around.
If that’s not an option, a walk outside is always a good option. Your zodiac sign is dreamy and intuitive, according to Dettman, so you’ll feel best wandering in nature.
