How to Exercise in Fall When Your Summer Workout Stops Working
The Week of November 9th: Vata-Pitta Health Rx ---
For Vata-Pitta types, maybe this is what's happening: You push through your intense workout---your HIIT class, your hard run, your competitive class where you're trying to keep up---and afterward, you feel wired and hot. Your body temperature is elevated, you're flushed, and your mind is racing, but not in a productive way. It's more agitated. More reactive.
Your joints ache AND they feel inflamed. There's heat in them---hot, swollen, tender. You have trouble cooling down after workouts---you're still sweating 20 minutes later, still feeling overheated. And your competitive drive pushes you to go hard, but your body isn't recovering. You wake up the next day sore, stiff, and irritable all over again.
You thought intense exercise would burn off the stress. But you're actually running both fast and hot---and burning yourself up from the inside.
In this week's Vata-Pitta Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why your high-intensity, competitive exercise is creating internal friction---overstimulating your Vata nervous system while inflaming your Pitta tissues.
This week, you'll get a structured but cooling movement prescription that engages without inflaming.
Listen now to learn:
- Why Vata-Pitta types run both fast and hot---and why intense exercise makes you both anxious and irritable
- The type of movement that works for your body: moderate intensity with structure in cool or neutral environments
- Why non-competitive practices satisfy your need for achievement without stoking inflammatory fire
Your Turn: Try the structured, cooling movement practice this week and notice what happens to your body temperature, your racing thoughts, your irritability. Tag @myarvasi on Instagram and share what shifted.
