Vyayama is the samskrit term which means physical exercise. All the classical treatises on Ayurveda have clearly mentioned about Vyayama and its health benefits. The two prime aims of Ayurveda are preservation of health of a healthy individual and management of disorders of a diseased person. Ayurveda has given great emphasis on preventive measures to remain healthy and to lead a disease free long life. Ayurveda scholars have advocated various preventive measures under the instructions of [[Dinacharya (दिनचर्या)|Dinacharya]] (daily routine), [[Rutucharya (ऋतुचर्या)|Rutucharya]] (seasonal regimen) [[Sadvrutta (सद्वृत्तम्)|Sadvritta]] (physical and mental code of conducts). Vyayama has been first described under the topic of Dinacharya or daily regime and considered as an integral part of one's routine daily activities. Also it is considered as the parameter for assessment of one's [[Balam (बलम्)|balam]] i.e. physical strength. | Vyayama is the samskrit term which means physical exercise.
