Progress has been painstakingly slow since we set our 2020 New Year’s resolution to stay fit. It doesn’t help that operations of gyms and other fitness centres across the city have been temporarily suspended Don’t despair though -the year isn’t over yet by any stretch of imagination.

By chance, I came across a nugget of inspiration and what might be the most quoted line for strength on the internet. “Don’t push your weaknesses, play with your strengths”, said by one of Hollywood’s most sexiest performer and producer, Jennifer Lopez. Did you know that she is also a Leo? Interestingly, people with this Zodiac sign are often reputed for being ambitious and hardworking. Presumably, these traits account for Lopez’s massively successful career and great physique over the years. This article will help you play to your strengths with the most effective exercises in line with your zodiac sign and push you forward through the rest of 2020.

Although working out at home in Hong Kong can be challenging due to limited spaces, it is actually a preference for those born to the Cancer sign. Rooted by home and family, they tend to be home bodies which makes home workouts that need little space, like boxing and HIIT, ideal for them.
