Stamina is being able to do exercise or any sport or physical activity without having to take too many breaks in between due to tiredness or breathlessness. Many people believe that improving stamina should only be for athletes, but in reality, we should all thrive for improving our stamina or endurance. Having good stamina is important in our daily lives for a number of reasons. For instance, our daily tasks will become easier to accomplish and working out will be less fatiguing. Improving your stamina means going up three eternally long flight of stairs without having to catch your breathe a thousand times. Or walking/ running a mile without feeling you’re going to pass out. With good stamina, walking to the bus stop or mowing the lawn suddenly feels like a breeze. Daily exercise can improve your endurance. Doing cardio, like running, jogging, or riding a bike can greatly improve your endurance and make you a healthier
When completing an exercise a person is expecting results that day, during or post workout. Training is a long-term process that creates noticeable and physical results over a span of weeks, even months and years. Training involves planning with preparation for the training duration and progress towards a goal. The desire to win and be better than the competition is essentially important for professional and collegiate athletes. These athletes take training and preparation for a competition to a new level of determination and commitment. For the last two years, I have been working with the University of Oklahoma’s softball team as their student athletic trainer. I attend every practice, workout, and all of their games. As the student athletic trainer, I help with assessing their injuries, with treatment and rehabilitation of their injuries as well as injury prevention. I have watched these women go through some strenuous workouts and have seen their improvements. Some of the girls have asked about taking CrossFit classes or other workout programs during winter and summer breaks. Our strength coach advised against taking the CrossFit classes that he has not specifically approved. He
According to the Endocrine Society, obesity is a complex disease that is associated with a number of comorbidities, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life.

More than 1 in 20 adults are considered to have extreme obesity. About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be overweight or obese. More than 1 in 6 children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be obese. Adults 20 years of age or older having a BMI of 25 and higher are considered to be overweight, higher than 30 considered obese.
While most people know exercise & movement are an important part of their life, this knowledge does not always translate into action. Unfortunately, those who live sedentary lifestyles put themselves at risk of premature death. While millions of people start exercise programs each year, particularly as New Year 's resolutions, many do not continue through with the program. Roughly half of those who join a health club quit within the first six months, and only about 20 percent of Americans are meeting the daily recommended exercise levels. If you are among the other 80 percent, particularly if you rarely exercise, you might be wondering how you can start and stick with an exercise program.
It is eleven o’clock at night, and Tom is finally done typing the essay that is due for his English 2 class tomorrow morning. As he takes a deep breath, slowly releasing the tension in his shoulders, and he tells himself, “I can now scroll through Instagram in peace!” After hours of posting and liking pictures on Instagram, from the corner of his eye he glimpses the current time, and quickly springs out of bed. It is now four o’clock in the morning, and he has exactly three hours to get sleep. This occurs every day, it is nothing new for Tom. He now witnesses sleep deprivation as being the root of his high blood pressure. As reported by the National Sleep Foundation, “the average adult needs seven
As a woman, sometimes it may sound easy to stay fit and healthy, but in reality, it is more of an uphill climbing most especially when you are a working mom or if you are to enter the beautiful journey of adulthood. As a matter of fact, women works harder than men just to lose weight and stay fit. Women would have to exert 20% more effort than men just to get the equal benefits. Men would only stick with their exercise routine to stay fit, on the other hand, women would do both exercise and diet just to get the same results. It's hard to become a woman, isn't it?
America is one of the most obese countries in the world, and the reasons are quite obvious. Take a look around. Fast food chains on every block, more and more technology to make our lives easier, and high amount of stress are just a few factors to weight gain in our country. There are many different views on obesity and how the people think it should be resolved, whether it's government making the change or the people taking care of themselves. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Are we doing enough to bring these statistics down? No. In the last 40 years, there has been a growth to more than 160,000 fast food restaurants in America (“Adolescent and School Health”). Restaurants (such as Wendy's, McDonald's etc.) serve more than 50 million people per day, generating about 65 million in sales annually. Only since obesity has become a national epidemic have fast food restaurants changed their ways. But we need to do more than just change the kind of oil the french fries are fried in. Better yet, why don't we remove, or intensely decrease the number of the unhealthy fast food chains, and spread more healthy fast food chains, such as Subway? Is it something government could take act in? Should the United States government take measures to fight the rise of obesity in the country, or are choices concerning diet and nutrition better left to the individuals, free of government interference?

Busy school schedules and overloading classes allow little time for the sixty minute daily suggested the physical activity for students. What place could be deemed as a more quintessential place to implement this required physical activity quota than a school? Most education institutions harbor the proper equipment and accommodations needed to support students and the activities concerned. If Physical Fitness is not made a compulsory subject then many students will not gain the beneficial assets this curriculum can provide.

I remember when I was a kid and going outside was what I wanted to do every day after I got home from school. I would go outside and shoots some hoops or go out and play in the crick out back. I never wanted to go inside and watch television or play video games. Joel B. Braunstein, MD, is a fellow in the department cardiovascular Medicine at the John Hopkins hospital and university, Baltimore Md. voices out: “Exercise for young people should be fun rather than an effort. Relaxing, not stressful. For example, small children should engage only in activities they enjoy.” Exercise back then was a whole lot easier a lot more fun back in the day. Running around chasing nothing, climbing trees, and shooting the cows, playing basketball until you couldn’t see the ball anymore. Those were the good ole days when exercise wasn’t a problem. Exercise is very important everyone needs it even if just consists of taking a walk to the end of the driveway a couple of times.
