Do cardiovascular exercises for at least 30 minutes a day. These exercises would help you control your breathing and warm-up your body for the physical task ahead. Try to observe your breathing while doing exercises and see if you need to make adjustments to your movements to help you become more relaxed. This will help you get better control of your stamina while you practice proper breathing under physical activities.

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Include lean meat and whole grains in your diet. Your body must be able to store enough carbohydrates to help it function more properly and to replenish its energy and stamina.
