Title: Improving Stamina?
Post by: nomekoP1 on Mar 02, 2011, 02:16: AM
hi, I've been practising consecutive HTW's, but after around 8-10 mins, i find myself exhausted, & can't carry on practising them... Is there any help out there with any sort of exercise, with or without a football, which could potencially increase my level of stamina? or is the easiest thing just practise & do lots of easy combos?
thanks  :great:  :grin:

imo just practice a lot... even when you are exhausted... train so long that you can't do anything anymore... :D

you may try running. or maybe your technique on htw's is not comfortable for you. htw require the most stamina.

10minutes? There's obviously a problem in your diet or you've never done any sprot in your life. Eat something high in carbs 30mins before you freestyle and see if you can freestyle for longer.

I usually have something with bread. It's the easiest sorce of carbs I can make myself. Sometimes a banana. Usually both if I plan to go for a few hours but that's rare.

So eat a sandwhich or something and see if you can go for longer than 10minutes.

10 min? ahhaha

i usually run with weight vest or not to build up endurance when my legs get heavy after loads of htw's

Bread's crap (in general, unless maybe whole grain bread), bananas are also crap (for pre-training, they're much better post-workout).

Have some lean meat with some "slow carbs" like rice or pasta 1-2 hours prior to training.

For the original poster, try to do shorter periods when practicing them. Like, do them for 5 mins, then move on to something else, then return to HTWs. You can try with HIIT for building up you anaerobic and aerobic capacity, but better just stick to FS, not sure how much carryover would it actually have.

Pasta relises slow energy which is a good meal if you want to train for a long time :grin: :grin:

But it's easier to take a slice of bread out of the baf than prepare pasta just to freestyle longer :P

monster energy is rich in carbs  too :grin:
i eat granola bars during practice, when i know it will be long - i always take some food and make 5-10 minute breaks sometimes

Energy drinks are rich in sugar, which is a "fast carb", which is best suited for post-training.  :Woot_Emoticon:

yes, I did, but I'm not sure if I understood everything that you explained, I'm not sure if you said anything about stamina, did you?

anyway, thanks everyone else. I will be eating alot of pasta, bread, energy drinks, energy bars & bananas! lol. I'll also practice in gaps.

energy drinks are not good - you may get addicted to them since once they boost up your energy level - you want it every time
besides they are rich in sugar, and bad for heart

LIAR! You must be one of the doctors or whatever they're called...

Everyone should have at least 1L of enregysmic drinks before each practice!  :Woot_Emoticon:

Maybe if they were completely understandable, people wouldn't ask additional questions. ;)

i actually had thought about that, but im not really a jogging person. just cant be arsed
Title: Re: Improving Stamina?
Post by: JonatanFs on Mar 20, 2011, 07:36: AM
It really works good for me :)
You only need a 15-45 minutes a day. Off course it depends how much stamina you have from before.
If you have really bad stamina just start with a 15 minute jogging session. And then you can increase the length as the stamina improves.
Put on your favourite songs on the iPod/MP3 player and start jogging. The music will help you through the session.

DON'T DRINK!

Post by: Reece_Sargent on Apr 04, 2011, 08:59: AM
i eat for example , pasta which usually does the trick ( because its high in carbs, which means more energy) and i think the harder and more you train, the more stamina u will build anyway!

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Do not listen to this guy. Energy drinks are absolutely horrible for you. Always avoid energy drinks when exercising. They're not going to kill you. But many of these increasingly popular drinks contain significant amounts of caffeine, which can make you jittery and cause insomnia, as well as loads of sugar, which nobody needs.

Yes I want to be a fitness trainer when I am older and from what I have learned you should always choose water to hydrate. Good job man :PDT_Armataz_01_37:

haha. i think the best way to get better in stamina is just to practice until your very last breath, until the point where you really cant move your legs. and also have a lot of breaks

The best way is to do it gradually. A slight increase is much better than to train until you can't move.
Think about it, does a football couch tell you to run 10km on the first day, does a power lifter start off on 200kg bench press?

Of course I meant coach lol..

Start with 1 hour or so, then increase the time by increments of 15mins.
Title: Re: Improving Stamina?
Post by: FreeGFreestyler on May 11, 2011, 01:57: PM
1 hour is a good start time. Your legs might be quite tired but alot of that time should just be focused on juggling. I can usually go 1 and a half hours without a burn. And take 5 minute breaks every 30 minutes for a few sips of water. That is a pretty good routine.
