The key to endurance is integral training, says Ask DIY fitness expert Stacie Saunders. If you're a runner or a walker, change your pace. Go faster, then slower. Remember, it's more important to go faster than it is to take longer strides. Once you're changing your pace, change your elevation. Get off that flat street and try some hills! All of this will build your heart rate. Next, if you lift weights, change the amount of weight you're lifting. Lift lighter weights and increase the number of repetitions. Another day try more weight with fewer reps. As it gets easier, add another set. Endurance is important, but you have to get there slowly. Build up gradually, so you don't feel like you're overdoing it. If you push your body too hard, you're more likely to get hurt.
