Hello and happy solstice! I am soooooo excited that summer is OFFICIALLY HERE!!!! YES!!! It is my fave time of year! No jackets. All swimsuits. Sun time. Pool time. Fruit all day. Chilled soups and summer salads. Outside life = the only life. AHHHHH!!!!

This also means that Cancer season has officially started!

Just turn up your favorite songs and start moving with the music!

Your Cancer Sweat Horoscope:

Cancers tend to be the homebodies of all the zodiac signs, so you may feel more comfortable working out at home instead of feeling like you’re being judged at the gym. That’s why at home workout videos or programs are an excellent place to start for you! Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to the person you were yesterday. You’ll be able to appreciate your progress so much more!
