Maharishi Ayurveda recommends exercising with the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in mind.

Exercise is very important for balancing the heavy, slower qualities of Kapha dosha. For people with a Kapha build (stockier, stable build), Maharishi Ayurveda recommends exercising to the point of working up a 'good sweat', in sports such as distance rowing, running, and swimming.
