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.
