The 5 Least Athletic Zodiac Signs
Being sweaty isn't their jam.
There are people who are born athletes. They love almost any sport and have a competitive spirit. Then, there are those who aren’t natural athletes. They may work out and participate in sports, but they aren’t great at them and don’t love athletics.
Thanks to astrology, we can determine the non-athletic zodiac signs who don't have natural athletic ability and don't love sports. But bodies aren’t always the way to tell if someone is athletic. You might be in great shape but avoid the gym at all costs. Maybe you push yourself through every workout because it’s something you feel you have to do.
There are also those people who might not be the standard idea of fitness but love playing tennis, swimming, weight-training, yoga, Pilates — anything that allows them to use their muscles and move their body. They may not look athletic, but they are. Sometimes, the non-athletic zodiac signs shy away from doing anything physical, and the only time their heartrate rises is when they’re binge-watching a thriller.
But you don’t have to be athletic to move your body, and we all know how important it is to get moving at least once a day. People who aren’t athletic can do this by walking to the corner coffee shop, playing ball with their dog, or doing Tai Chi in the park. Sometimes you have to fool yourself that you’re not working out, you’re just having fun.
1. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces would much rather spend their time doing something creative or napping. Walking around the mall or biking to a social event is more Pisces' thing.
Most Pisces don't have a lot of gym clothes. The clothes most people would wear to the gym or dance class are the clothes they like to lounge, sleep, or do crafts in. They like to be comfortable, and no one said that when you wear yoga pants you have to be doing yoga.
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis would love to be more athletic than they are and every once in a while will make a resolution to get into better shape. They'll buy some cool gym clothes, join a gym, and maybe even engage a personal trainer. For a time, they will be completely committed to their goal.
However, once the shine is gone and they get into a routine, Geminis tend to get bored. Once working out starts to become boring, they'll find excuses not to do it, but will rationalize it. If they walked to get coffee or took the stairs at work, then they worked out.
3. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Once Capricorn sets their mind to become more athletic, they'll give it everything they've got. The problem is that even though they know working out is good for them, it still feels like a chore. They don't love organized sports or being on a team, and they're not the most coordinated of the zodiac signs.
Capricorns will exercise to stay healthy, but they don't do physical activities for the joy of it. Capricorns love those machine that work every muscle of the body and they only have to spend 15 minutes a day doing it.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras often promise themselves that they're going to work out more, and then somehow always get too busy to really pursue their fitness goals. Libras do much better if they have a workout buddy or someone they can play racquetball or run with.
If they make working out a social event, they're more likely to stick with it. But no, they're not naturally athletic and they tend to get sore from the smallest physical exertion.
5. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Dripping in sweat is not Taurus' favorite thing. They will exercise to eat the things they want to eat, but not because they love it. When they exercise they like to look sharp, so they may spend more time putting an outfit together than actually going on a run or using the elliptical.
Taurus count cooking and cleaning up afterwards as calorie-burning, and walking around the supermarket as working out. However, if you want someone to cheer you on as you do that marathon, they will be there looking great and supporting your efforts.
