CAPRICORN

Capricorns are strong celestial taskmasters who like their workouts slow and steady, so train for a marathon, cross-country ski or mountain bike. Your discipline and perseverance coupled with superb endurance make these sports a welcome challenge. For down days, hit the gym for Pilates and yoga, or power walk the neighborhood. Be sure to nourish yourself properly during long training hours, since you're likely to skip meals and fall into food ruts, eating the same old, same old. Branch out a bit, Capricorn. Knees and joints can be problematic, so watch for trouble before it flares. Lucky race days: March 8, June 2, October 13.
