im pretty muscley already but i am soon going on a long kayak trip. paddling full pelt, i need a rest every 15 mins which aint to bad but i need to inprove my stamina to last about 30 mins. has anyone got any ideas?
How to build more stamina and muscle?
You don't say why you need to take a rest. Are you huffing and puffing or are your arms giving out?
You don't need a lot of muscle and too much (as in being a weight lifter or over training for body building) can leave you with muscles that get tired quickly.
If it is your muscles that are doing you in, you need to do some work on your arms that is more in the line of light weight and a lot of continuous motion.
If you are out of breath, you need to work on aerobic exercise. That can be anything (dancing, biking, skating, running, walking) that gets your heart rate up but if you can find something like cross country skiing that uses your arms at the same time, you hit two types of training in one exercise.
Reply:Whenever I need to increase my stamina I run twice each week for about two miles, and I use the rowing machines 20-30 minutes five days each week. Increase distance each day. Six weeks total. Works pretty good for me. (Of course, 6-7 small meals as well)
