A Peek Into Galactic Gains: A Week of Lunar-Aligned Workouts
First Quarter Moon Week: December 2 - December 8
Welcome to a transformative week of celestial fitness with Galactic Gains! This week, we're aligning our workouts with the powerful energies of the New Moon transitioning through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Experience a unique fusion of astrology and fitness that not only sculpts your body but also elevates your spirit.
Astrological Context
New Moon in Sagittarius kicks off our week, igniting a fire of exploration and setting new intentions. As the moon waxes and moves into Capricorn, we ground ourselves, building endurance and discipline. Mars enters retrograde on December 6, urging us to focus on form and mindfulness rather than pushing our limits. The week culminates with the First Quarter Moon in Pisces, inviting fluidity and intuition into our practice.

Our workouts this week are designed to:
