Endurance

You could try this:

      Mini-Triathlon
  • Weight lifting: Lift at least half your body weight, and hold for at least 40 seconds
  • Running: Run ¼ within 5 min (after two weeks ½ mile in 7 min and after a month, 1 mile in 10 min)
  • Cycling: Bike a mile within 6 min (after a month, bike 2 miles within 9 min)

Increasing Stamina and Endurance
    • Stamina: The mental and physical ability to maintain physical activity over a substantive 
    • Endurance: Your body's physical ability to sustain high intensity for a protracted period
      • Two components:
          1. cardiovascular endurance
          2. muscular endurance
  • The SAID principle: S(Specific) A(Adaptation) to I(Imposed) D(Demands) Your body adjust to the specific type of exercise(s) you regularly perform. Have your fitness routine integrate a variety of exercises to build all muscle groups and consistently build strength, endurance, and stamina.
  • Overload principle: Making gradual increases in volume, intensity, or speed/rate to continue raising your fitness.
  • At least of 150 min of exercise weekly: Adjust your routine monthly to focus on different muscle groups and abilities, and to adequately respond to changes in your condition, while keeping the exercise engaging and fulfilling for you.
  • Yoga, meditation, and reflection: Add time to consider progress, to center yourself, and focus on what you want to achieve, before and after exercise. Don't just focus on fitness goals; also consider personal, professional, community, and spiritual goals. Think of exercise as giving you the power to be your best self, and give your best to those around you.
  • Identify your target heart rate: Your target heart rate during aerobics is 50 to 70% of your maximum for moderate-intensity activities and 70 to 85% of your maximum for rigorous activities. A convenient way to determine your maximum heart rate is to subtract your age from 220 (e.g., for a 52 year old it would be 168 (220 - 52 = 168)
  • Try HIIT training: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) demands repetitive sequences of high-intensity intervals alternating with rest periods (for example, 15-second sprints with a 20-second rest between each spring).
  • Stay hydrated: Hydration is critical, and absolutely vital, in hot or humid conditions. Drinking electrolytes is strongly recommended before and after your workout to replenish minerals lost from sweating.
