But how do I find out the right intensity for me?
Ayurveda provides a simple rule of thumb:
When you start breathing heavily and cannot breathe through the nose anymore but have to breathe through your mouth and start sweating, you should stop or reduce the intensity. Only the fitness programme during and after which you feel comfortable, has a balancing effect and is ideal for your health. But an optimal preventive effect is only achieved through regular physical activity.
Principles for your training
Frequency: At least 2 x per week physical activity. Ideally 3-4 x per week.
Duration: At least 20-30 minutes per unit. Minimum: 60 minutes per week. Ideally 3-4 hours per week.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, daily physical activity under low strain is sensible!
