Ayurvedic Weight Loss Tips on Exercising and Relaxation

Far more than a weight loss system, the Ayurvedic weight loss recommendations show you a way of life that balances your specific Ayurveda body type (dosha) for optimum weight, greatly improved health and rejuvenation.

We’ve already talked about Ayurveda diet and discussed the first two key elements required for fast healthy weight loss: regular cleansing and a nutritional diet specific to your dosha.

Here, we continue with the Ayurvedic recommendations for the last two elements of an optimum weight and health: exercising and relaxation techniques specific for your Ayurveda body types.

Ayurvedic Weight Loss: Exercising

According to Ayurveda, burning fat is much easier when you match your workouts with your specific body type, or dosha.

For example:

• if you have a predominant Vata energy, you benefit most from movements with a gentler pace, like tai chi, yoga, or a moderate amount of light aerobics
  
  
• with a predominant Pitta energy, you benefit most from challenging sports (preferably not performed in a team, as competing aggravates your specific body type): swimming for length, skiing, brisk walking, yoga, and moderate hikes in nature
  
  
• with a predominant Kapha energy, you benefit most from vigorous physical activities, such as hiking, running, dancing, power yoga, intense aerobics, and speed swimming - although you are not particularly attracted to them
  
  

Have you ever wondered why yoga is so popular these days? Partly, it's because Ayurvedic weight loss recommends it to balance all three doshas. Different yoga poses have specific benefic effects for each body type.

For example, backward bends are "heating", balancing Vata body type. Forward bending postures are "cooling" Pitta doshas, and twists are good for Kapha types, activating their digestion.

Yoga postures stimulate and tone every area of your body and massage the internal organs expelling the toxins, an important Ayurvedic recommendation.

Ayurvedic Weight Loss: Relaxation

You've heard it many times: stress triggers a "fight-or-flight" response, causing your body to store fat instead of burning it.
But if you are like most people, avoiding stress is almost impossible, true?

So what can you do?

Well, Ayurveda shows you simple relaxation techniques for releasing daily stress:

• deep breathing
• conscious relaxation - better known as meditation

Try deep breathing any time you want to ease stress.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths through your nose, hold the air for a few seconds, then release it completely through your mouth.
Not only will you feel more focused and relaxed, you will increase your metabolism and burn more fat as well.

And what if you don't know how to meditate? Believe it or not, it's actually simpler than you think.

As a beginner, start by paying attention to your breathing. The total focus on the 'in & out' breath draws your mind away from the usual mind clutter, making you feel calm, centered, and relaxed.

With time, the process of clearing your mind (to think of nothing) starts to occur naturally. The result is clear mental focus, greater creativity, inner peace, serenity, and calmness.

In Short, Ayurvedic Weight Loss...

...recommendations are not only about diets and workouts specific to your particular dosha, but also how to release stress, calm your mind and achieve great health and an optimum weight naturally. This gives you an increased stamina, happiness and a radiant, youthful appearance.

When we talk about losing weight naturally and for good, the specific Ayurvedic weight loss recommendations teach you simple principles of proper cleansing, nutrition, exercise, and relaxation. These reset your body's ability to regulate itself, and release excess body fat with no struggle.
