Build My Fitness Please
Date Posted:17 December 2012
This week we consider your exercise needs and what you can do to optimise the effectiveness of your exercise. There is no one size fits all when considering any area of your life from diet, lifestyle, sleep and exercise too.
- Some people love building up a sweat while they exercise, while others get overheated easily.
- Some people need motivation to exercise while others wouldn’t think of not exercising most days.
- Some people get easily addicted to exercise, do you?
These and other choices are expression of your unique mind body type according to Ayurveda.
Firstly, no matter what your body type, there are two herbals that are a must when you want to build fitness. They are Premium Amla Berry and Energy Plus which can be taken together.
- Premium Amla Berry is especially nourishing for muscular development, digestion, skin and eyes. The single ingredient in this formula is the most sought after fruit for ayurvedic herbals — Amla (Indian Gooseberry). This fruit is considered a powerful ayurvedic elixir that promotes health, longevity and overall balance for all body types.
- Energy Plus is a combination of two very popular Ayurvedic herbs— Ashwaghanda (Indian winter cherry) and Shatavari (Indian Asparagus). Ashwagandha supports nourishment for the brain, assisting mental concentration and stamina. It also supports muscular stamina.
