Calculation Formula
# Pseudocode for Optimal Exercise calculation
def optimal_exercise(dosha_type, age, weight, height):
# The formula varies based on your Dosha type
if dosha_type == "Vata":
return (age + weight + height) / 3
elif dosha_type == "Pitta":
return (age + weight + height) / 2
elif dosha_type == "Kapha":
return (age + weight + height) / 1.5
“Wait, python isn’t a type of snake?” No, but we’re glad you’re paying attention. The above is a Python code snippet of our calculation formula.
Optimal Exercise Type and Duration Table
Dosha Type | Exercise Type | Duration (min) |
---|---|---|
Vata | Yoga | 40-60 |
Pitta | Cardio | 30-40 |
Kapha | Strength Training | 20-30 |
Depending on your Dosha type, the exercise type and duration will vary. Whether you’re a Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, we’ve got an exercise regimen for you!
Example Calculations
Name | Dosha Type | Age | Weight (lbs) | Height (in) | Exercise Type | Duration (min) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
John Doe | Vata | 40 | 180 | 72 | Yoga | 97 |
Jane Doe | Pitta | 35 | 150 | 68 | Cardio | 127 |
John Doe and Jane Doe, unrelated, we promise, are perfect examples of how to use our calculator. Just remember: age + weight + height, then divide by the magic number and voila!
Calculation Methods
Method | Advantage | Disadvantage | Accuracy Level |
---|---|---|---|
Traditional Ayurvedic Method | Simple | Not personalized | Low |
Modern Ayurvedic Method | Personalized | Complex | High |
Just like fashion, Ayurvedic methods have evolved over time. The modern method offers a more personalized approach, but if you’re a fan of vintage simplicity, the traditional method is still a viable option.
Evolution of Concept
Year | Concept |
---|---|
Ancient times | Only yoga was suggested |
Modern times | Personalized based on Dosha |
Unlike disco, the concept of Dosha-based exercise has survived the test of time.
Limitations of Accuracy
- Individual Variation: Not everyone of the same Dosha type will have the same optimal exercise type and duration.
- Daily Fluctuations: The Dosha balance can change daily. Just like your mood changes when you run out of chips!
Alternative Methods
Method | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Bio Impedance Analysis | Accurate | Expensive |
Bio Impedance Analysis is another way to calculate your optimal exercise type and duration. It’s accurate but might leave a dent in your wallet.
