Balanced Exercise for Pitta
Your need for perfection must be facilitated only up to a point. Balanced fire brings clarity, while excess leads to strain.
Try not giving 100%, all of the time, especially if you are a predominant fire type.
You need cooling and releasing. You have the most athletically fit body type, so competitive sports such as running, or weight-lifting may be more attractive to you. However, this creates the likelihood of pushing too hard and causing injury.
You would benefit from a softer approach and less of a competitive environment than is found in gymnasiums or competition. A more relaxed yoga class, or cooler outdoor activities, would assist in you finding more balance.
Your goal in your activity should be to let go a little, even if the person beside you seems to be doing better than you!
Exercise in a cool, comfortable room that will not overheat during your routine. You may like to exercise outdoors, even in the winter, as this keeps your heat in check. Keep your body cool when performing more strenuous, indoor exercises.
You tend to sweat more during exercise due to the predominance of heat in your constitution, and you may become aware of the need to breathe through your mouth during strenuous exercises. This is a need to release excess heat, not simply a need for more air!
Breathing through the mouth will cool you down, of course, although the breath is not purified by breathing this way.
Breathing through the nose becomes impossible during some of the types of competitive exercises you like to engage in. This is just something to be aware of, and to cultivate nose breathing whenever possible. This will reduce the possibility of over-breathing and the negative affects brought about by hyperventilation.
You have moderate endurance, so slow down with a longer cool-down after exercise. This will help you release tension that can so easily build up when performing strenuous exercises.
