The next thing you do is hit the supermarket by the street and grab low GI health bars, quinoa cereals and all sorts of healthy stuff that catch your eye.

4. Let’s build more stamina Stamina and endurance go hand in hand and provide you the ability to sustain prolonged physical activity. • Start slow and don’t push yourself into an intense, rigorous program. • Aerobics and cardiovascular exercises is the best way to enhance stamina. • Combine your strength training with cardio workouts.

5. Reduce the amount of rest between your sets and rest days. • Ditch the routine once in a while and switch up workouts. • Besides physical activity, stick to a well-balanced diet that includes low fat products, vegetables and fruits.

There can be many reasons to work on your flexibility. You may need to deal with post-workout soreness, improve performance, decrease risk for injury or simply want to be able to do daily chores that involve a lot of bending and stretching easily.

8. Use dynamic movements such as arm circles, rope skipping and jumping jacks to warm up. • Do static stretching after you are done exercising to cool down with light activity. • Once you have achieved a great deal of flexibility, retain it. Try new ranges of motion and exercises every once in a while.
