“Are there any specific workouts that could prevent constipation?”
I am extremely prone to constipation and most of the times need to have medication to prevent or relieve it. Are there any specific workouts that could ease constipation symptoms in a person?

Abdominal exercises and gentle moist heat for lower abdominal. Drink a lot of fluids.
Try using gentle heat for your lower abdomen and biking if that is available, walking daily will help as well.
If there is no direct medical reason for your constipation, then constipation can come from a lack of muscle recruitment or use through your core. Our abdominal muscles are key for normal digestion. If you are living a sedentary lifestyle then increasing general movements (for example walking, swimming) can help improve gastric motility. At this point I would highly recommend you seeking a referral for physical therapist who specializes in manual care.
