by Georgina Berbari

Whether you're preparing to completely slay your new year's resolution to work out more, or you simply want to mix up the routine you already have in 2018, your zodiac sign could contain all of the secrets you need for the most effective sweat sesh in the new year. Astrology can teach you so much about yourself, and that information can be particularly great for helping you figure out what you like and don't like, especially in the gym. So when you're thinking about workouts to try in the new year, but you're stumped by the huge range of options, let your star sign do its damn job and lead the way.

Let's be real here people: 2017 was a f*cking trip. I mean, maybe you had a grand old time, I don't know your life, but personally, I know I'm not alone when I say there were an aggressive amount of ups and downs throughout this rollercoaster of a year.

So, in the name of starting 2018 on the right foot, don't waste your time on workouts that won't make you feel like the strong-ass goddess that you truly are. When Jan. 1 rolls around, take a hint from your zodiac sign and immerse yourself in workouts that will provide your body with loads of feel-good endorphins and help you truly thrive in the new year.

Listen, I'm saying this in the nicest way possible — but seriously, take a hike, girl. Connecting with nature and vibin' with a group of fellow outdoors-y peeps will make you happiest, Aquarius.

And if you want to go the extra mile (#puns), try doing a hike for a cause. Since you're really into helping others out and all things humanitarian, this will be right up your alley.

"Namastay on my yoga mat every single day in 2018," said every Pisces ever.

Seriously though, Pisces are highly creative and artistic, so if you've never experimented with a killer vinyasa flow, this is your year to tune in with that body of yours and expand your mind.

Aries, hitting up a sweaty and challenging boxing class will allow you to release anything and everything that did not serve you in 2017, and let out all your frustrations.

It may be intense and difficult at first, but after a few dates with the punching bag, you won't be able to get enough of the sport.

Taurus Could Totally Benefit From Signing Up For A Race

Slow and steady wins the race for Taurus. That long-distance, endurance-focused life is where it's at for you, girl.

If you've convinced yourself that you hate running (haven't we all at some point?), give it a shot in 2018. You might just get bitten by the cardio bug faster than you can lace up your Nikes.

Even if you're not able to work with a personal trainer, simply hitting up a workout buddy to hold you accountable for your routine will be all you really need to feel like a million bucks.
