Stamina - Balance Hormone Solutions

What is stamina?

Stamina refers to the body's ability to sustain prolonged physical and mental activity. Individuals with high stamina can continue exercising, working, or concentrating for extended periods without getting too tired.

Key aspects of stamina include:

• Cardiovascular endurance - the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen and nutrients to working muscles over time. This allows you to run, swim, cycle, or do other cardio exercise for longer without fatigue.
• Muscular endurance - the muscle's capacity to continue contracting and generating force without tiring prematurely. This prevents your legs, arms, or core from "giving out" too soon when strength training or doing bodyweight exercises.
• Mental energy - having the focus, motivation, and grit to keep learning, working on complex tasks, or pushing through challenges without burning out mentally.

Some signs of low stamina may be:

• Getting out of breath easily during physical activities
• Muscle fatigue setting in quickly while strength training
• Having difficulty concentrating for prolonged periods

You can improve stamina through the FITT principle:

• Frequency - regularly doing endurance activities
• Intensity - incorporating high intensity interval sessions along with lower intensity continual training
• Time - gradually increasing duration of workouts as your fitness improves
• Type - including a variety of cardio, strength training, HIIT, core, and flexibility exercises

Proper nutrition and recovery practices also optimize stamina by fueling workouts and allowing your body to adapt between sessions.
