0141 Increase Your Endurance   Methods To Boost Your Stamina Q:  I really want to do two training sessions a day, but don’t know how to prepare for it since my endurance is really lacking. Even though I’m doing strength and mass gaining workouts, I suspect it’s going to kick my ass! What do you guys suggest to get ready for doing that? I mean, I do cardio a couple times a week, but it’s obviously not enough. What should I do?

A: If you want to increase endurance, try running a couple days a week to start. Or, you can do alternating sprints and walking stairs. If fat loss is your goal, these will definitely help with that. Just don’t do too much running because it’s going to really affect your leg size. On the other hand, it’s going to really boost your endurance faster than anything. Elliptical and treadmill work is fine, and will gradually give you what you’re after, but jogging will do it faster. Since you didn’t say why you wanted to go to two sessions, we suspect it’s because you are preparing for a competition. But keep in mind that double sessions during each day doesn’t mean MORE work, necessarily, it just means splitting it up so that you aren’t so fatigued as you prepare. You can use the sessions in a couple of ways: One body part – AM/ One body part – PM, – OR – Cardio on an empty stomach – AM/ Strength Training – PM., or you can combine the two options listed and do some cardio and some training in the AM and PM. Point is, you need to know why you’re doing it, and how, in order to prepare for an increase in endurance. You may not need to.. the process itself may do the trick.
