how can you increase your stamina??

[jaded]

Do wind sprints and hit the bag using the same principle as wind sprints but substituting your hands for you legs...that means 20 - 40 second bursts of intensity...not all out but enough to make you breath harder and that will allow you to return back to the prior intensity. 10 sprints per workout (whether on the bag or running)...gradually increasing the intensity as you can. Don't force anything beyond your limitations (if you feel pain that's not a good sign)...but push your self some and stick with it...it will take time.

shadow box, hit the bag, and spar at 80% intensity for 2-3 min rounds with 1 min breaks

this will cause you to hit near vo2 max after each round but more importantly it will tax your lactate threshold and improve your resting heart rate.

and it does all this while your actually praticing technique.

some people tell you to sprint, a better option is putting the same intensity into just foot work and keeping your hands up for 2-3 min rounds, no punching.

a few rounds of that and your legs are going to feel just as tired as they would be if you were sprinting, and you get to work on keeping your hands up and foot work while you do it.

anyone have any tips or can anyone offer any training routines or advice to increase endurance and stamina?

is there anything you can eat that may help you while you're training?

and with these exercises how long before you see any results?


thanks all the advice is very much appreciated

Roadwork, Roadwork, Roadwork, Roadwork.

Plus some sprints/intervals, and long heavy bag routines

yeah thats what we do at the gym I train at skipping and than the last 30 seconds balls to the wall followed by ten pushups and situps during the rest period.

there are 3 main parts of stamina. aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness and muscle energy use. long distance runs build aerobic. sprints build anaerobic, and promoting the growth of fast oxidative fibers works on muscle endurance
