Mapping Your Way
You can use a four-step approach to work toward building stamina.
The advantage of doing it this way is that it gives you focus and a destination.
It can also help you overcome some of the barriers to success like procrastination and distractions.
And you’ll find greater motivation if you can tick off achievements and milestones along the way.
The essential thing to understand is that it is a life’s journey.
Your definition of stamina will likely evolve.
Assess Your Current State of Fitness
A fitness assessment such as the Rockport Walk Test can give you a concrete figure to measure it.
The ideal figure varies with age and sex, so it is a personal assessment.

Make a SMART Plan for Success
Reassess
Reassessing is essential because it gives you an opportunity to see the results of your hard work.
Use the motivation you’ve gained from reaching one goal to move you forward to the next.
