Could the secret to being a gym bunny be written in the stars? According to new research, women who are born a Leo are most likely to go to the gym.The findings were based on a survey on 10,000 women in the UK, which found that you are nearly twice as likely to visit the gym if you are a Leo than any other zodiac sign. Leos are often described as positive, enthusiastic and supremely confident — all key ingredients for the gym.It's good news for some of our favorite faces, as women everywhere start work on their beach bodies. Madonna, Mila Kunis, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lopez are some of the stars who fall under the Leo sign, alongside Britain's own Helen Flanagan, Donna Air and Millie Mackintosh.
