Monthly Fitness: August

CANCER

June 22-July 22

Get ready: You're going to be bursting with good, healthy energy this month! Use it to explore a few new ways to stay healthy. It's a great month to try new things; tofu dogs, sea swimming, maybe even a marathon run! Starting on the 1st and continuing all month long, you'll be in good shape when it comes to your health. The 5th, the crazier your workout schedule, the better you'll feel at the end of the day. Schedule a sunset run, a lunchtime jog or an after-work breath-work session. Then, if you find you're feeling too exhausted, go ahead and cut out a few things around the 7th or 8th. You'll be feeling balanced by the 9th and 10th, as long as you stick to your workout (if you don't, you're on your own!). The 14th, make sure your friends are involved in at least some of your healthy activities. By the 19th, you'll be ready to take on a new challenge. Whether it's eating even better or something else entirely, you'll be up to it. The 23rd and 24th, if you're feeling wiped out, take a little break. A physical checkup is a good idea, too, if it's time for your yearly. The 28th, you've got energy to spare, and the 31st, whether you're on the soccer field or on the dance floor, you'll shine.
