Tips for Increasing Your Stamina

Working out can be exhilarating. However, if you start to get tired right away, it can be a real drag.

Think of some ways to increase your stamina and enjoy your exercise routine more!


Set a Goal

Decide what you want to do and start to act on it.

Set goals that you think you may be able to achieve in a short enough time to actually be satisfied by them.

Rather than standing up from the couch and setting the lofty goal of participating in a marathon, why not decide first to be able to run three miles in thirty minutes within the next few weeks.
Write down your goal and post it somewhere that you will see it.

Keep track each time you run on how close you are to making your goal. When you reach it, congratulate yourself in a satisfying way and set your next goal!


Put Together a Training Plan


Figure out what you need to do to reach your goal. Make sure not to overdo it and get frustrated. Think of a plan that is realistic based on your current physical abilities and the time you have available to do it. If you are new to fitness, you may want to consult a fitness expert like SD PERSONAL TRAINER.

Learn to Walk Before Running

If you aren’t ready for that three mile run in thirty minutes, start by walking it. Next, move to a combination of running as much as you can, with periods of restful walking. In time, you will find yourself increasing your run time and decreasing your rest periods. However, make sure to continue to push yourself to do better each time.
