Exercise Therapy

Ayurveda advocates exercising according to the unique body type of the individual. Not all persons are made equal . A Kapha body type is blessed with strong muscles, skeletal muscles, and those supporting the heart. Such persons also have more strength. Hence, these types are more suited for sports that demand strength, like soccer, running, bodybuilding, etc.Vata’s body type is opposite to this and has comparatively smaller and less strong muscles and lesser stamina. They should do gentle exercises like jogging, hiking, table tennis, etc.The pitta body type is in the middle regarding strength and stamina. It is also a hot body type. The best exercises for it are swimming, mountain hiking, etc.
