Exercise and Ayurveda

[Guest guest]

I've been searching around on the internet for information on

exercise in the ayurvedic communities and I've found only teeny bits

of info. What I read talked about exercising during cool times of

the day, in the morning, after morning massages and before

showering,using 50% of your capacity and not over-exerting yourself.

Now, I'm trying to lose weight and I went to the gym and got on the

treadmill. Because of my weight(being so heavy) I checked my heart

rate and it was constantly 60-65% percent. I felt like I was walking

too slow and that I wasn't working out at all. I wasn't sweating,

like everyone else was. Then I read that over-exertion can be noted

in fore-head sweating and mouth breathing. . . Does anyone know if

this is adaquate enough exercise to lose weight? I don't know what I

should be doing, coming from traditional (no pain no gain) way of

working out.
