How to Exercise According to Your Ayurvedic Body Constitution

According to Ayurveda, the three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha made up of the five elements govern our bodies and forms our Prakriti or Ayurvedic body constitution. These doshas can vary in amount and combination to create a unique body constitution. Learning about the primary doshas that dominate our body and how to balance them is necessary to decide a customised exercise for each body constitution.

Here is how to decide on a workout routine ideal for every constitution.

Vata – The combination of air and ether, Vata requires rhyme and routine in their workout. Warming and rhythmic activities that counter the effects of the dosha should be preferred. Dancing, yoga, swimming, walking and rowing are recommended.

Pitta – Fire and water govern Pitta-dominated individuals and they need to indulge in cooling activities like water sports which include swimming, water polo, kayaking, etc. Also, exercising in hot temperatures which leads to an overheated mind and body is not ideal for them.

Kapha – It is the combination of earth and water which associated with qualities like being heavy, slow and stable. Cardio and aerobics are excellent choices for them, while also ensuring varieties in workouts to keep Kapha individuals interested and motivated.
