Improve Fitness adn Stamina
|
Hiya there,
I am 19 years old male and weigh 9½, however I am not fit at all. When I walk up a hill I will be huffing and puffing, even when I play football(2 times a month), I will be tired in 4/5 minutes!(and so will just go in nets).
However to improve my stamina (not loose weight) so I can at least last a whole game of football I have joined my University gym for a year’s membership. I have been for two days, but do not know what to do to improve my stamina and fitness. Currently I have been doing the cycling machine, running machine, rowing machine ... and weights on my thighs (you have to push you legs up and down).
So what would people recommend me to do? Am I doing the right exercises to improve my stamina? Any recommendations?
Kind Regards

4/5 minutes is 0.8 minutes you know :P

I just saw your message and so I came back to the question to reply...
Cardiovascular exercise is basically any exercise that makes your heart beat faster. When you are doing a cardiovascular workout you want to make sure that you slowly bring you heart rate up and maintain it until you are finished (usually 30 minutes to an hour). You don't want to take breaks or stop at any point during the exercise.

you need to improve your breathing skills - yoga is great for that. Do question why you run out of breath so quickly - asthma in the family? smoker?
Reduce activities that impede your quest for physical health and well being, increase activities that facilitate health -walking, cardio excercise (in addition to football training - -not weightlifting) loving, house cleaning, yoga.....
best of luck....

i am a health nut. for me i have discovered that state of mind can play a large roll in any type of fitness goals. being relaxed, well stretched, and confident can increase level of fitness one is trying to reach. cycling is very good as it is your cardio endurance you are trying to beef up. the tread mill and eliptical are all very good things for that. my favorite is yoga. why you ask? it is because it is more than just flexibility training but also breathing excersises. those will help to control your respitory and c...

let me answer this question,, i play football since i was lil kid. anyway let me tell you, from my experience exercises and going to the gym for running didn't help in increasing my stamina ,, the benefit of these exercises is only to build your muscles. so if they are weak, if your legs feels tired in a short then this is a difftent matter than stamina, you need to strengthen your body muscels and this needs a speical scheduel not only random exercises you choose.
