Do you have "particular" times of Day that you like to "workout" more than other times? Do you find Morning workouts harder than evening workouts? Do you prefer mornings over evenings? Perhaps your Zodiac Sign is the reason! Let's have some fun, and gain some insight!... Take a look below smiley


To find out more about this phenomenon, astrologer Ophira Edut, who represents one half of dynamic astrology duo The AstroTwins, Here's what she had to say about what time of day you should exercise based on your zodiac sign!


Air signs: First thing in the morning.

If you're a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, you're an air sign. You'll find that you get the most joy and energy out of movement first thing in the morning, when the rest of the world is still sleeping or rushing off to work. "Air signs love to start the day with a burst of endorphin-fueled excitement. These signs can benefit the most from a morning workout because they'll carry the intellectual and creative energy through the day," explains Ophira.


Fire signs: Midday.

If you're an Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, you're a fire sign. Fire signs thrive on heat, so if you're a student or you can find a way to slip out in the middle of the workday, make it happen. "Fire signs tend to have bursts of concentrated energy and emotions that build up," says Ophira. "A lunchtime or after-work exercise program will help you burn the pent-up aggression or sedentary vibes."


Earth signs: Any time, as long as it's consistent.

If you're a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you're an earth sign. You have a pragmatic nature, so consistency is key for you. "Creatures of habit, doesn't matter so much when you exercise as that you do it at a consistent time," explains Ophira. "But earth energy can get stagnant, so a midday routine can help you break out of a mental and energetic rut. Take a brisk walk around 3 p.m. when the brain tends to perform more sluggishly."


Water signs: After sunset.

If you're a Scorpio, Cancer, or Pisces, you're a water sign. When it comes to exercise, darkness is your best friend. "Since these receptive signs are emotional sponges, they absorb a lot of people's energy during the day. An evening yoga or exercise class will help them shake off any moody blues and help you sleep more soundly," says Ophira.

I'm a 'WATER SIGN" (SCORPIO)! And this is correct. I prefer Evening workouts much more than I prefer Morning workouts. As much as I'd love to get up and get all my workout in first thing in the morning (and I have done this many times)......Its just not a preference for me to do so. My body responds better in the evenings.

I'm a Gemini and although i don't believe in horoscopes i find that it is truly beneficial for me to get moving early in the morning opposite to other times of the day

Very interesting! I am a Taurus, so this suggests my best workout time is any time! I'd have to agree with that. For anything vigorous, I usually prefer to workout in the morning or early afternoon as it really solidifies my positive healthy intentions for the day. For lighter things like yoga or Pilates, the evening works best to help me unwind and relax after the day is almost done.

The best time of day to exercise is whenever you will do it consistently! Getting started in fitness/exercise can be difficult and keeping your motivation can be challenging, but all that effort will yield big payoffs! Exercise is not a punishment...it is a gift you give yourself. ♥ :)

@AlfalfaSproutDeux

That is very interesting Alfalfa! Thanks for sharing that with us!...

I just cannot get motivated early.... it can take me to almost after 2-3pm to start exerising and really, I don't feel like it then either lol..... But by evening time, I am soo ready to Zumba! lol

I think its fun seeing what everyone else feels and how they respond to the Zodiac thing.

I'm a Gemini and I normally exercise in the evening because I'm not energized when I wake up. But the problem with that is I often find myself looking for reasons to skip it. So maybe I should give the daytime a try?

@ItzStartlite

Same with me...I find if I put off my workout until the end of the day, I can rarely muster the motivation to get it done. There's no right or wrong time of day to workout, everyone is different! If it isn't working, change it up and you'll find the sweet spot. Good luck...and don't give up! :)
