According to a report from Bucknell University, swimming increases the resistance of muscles by as much as 14 percent over land-based workouts. Swimming is a total-body exercise that effectively uses every muscle group during the workout. In addition to its cardiovascular benefits, swimming on a regular basis can lead to increased strength in such major muscles like your shoulders, back, glutes, core, legs, and arms. So, if you want to boost your stamina, do this activity for a minimum of 20 minutes to experience all the benefits it offers.
3. Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks are a full-body workout that one can do almost anywhere.?The best part of jumping jacks is that we don’t need any equipment at all. In jumping jacks, the legs are placed together and the arms are placed at the side of the body. When the jump occurs, the legs are spread apart and the arms are quickly moved to the area above the head. Once these movements have been done, they should be reversed immediately so that you are back to the starting position. Jumping jacks will boost stamina and one will be able to withstand physical activity for longer periods of time.
