Aite, I'm 13 y/o.

Well im 4 inches smaller than you
15
and i weigh 135-140 (depends on the day and if ive pooped yet)
and im right around the ""perfect"" weight for my size
so try to gain 10-15 lbs at least

keep in mind im not the professional.
just giving my 2 cents

13 and your 6'0"? Holy shit, but yes you really are lean. As for your stamina, just play some pick-up basketball, that's what I did anyways. When you can't play, just run, swim, or jumprope.

aite i see, i actually lost 5 pounds when i weighed myself the other day somehow LOL

i was@138



okay, i'll see if i can dig a jumprope out from my room

thanks for the answers

This is very simple. To improve stamina requires repetition.

This means, practice by RUNNING....the more you run (both in frequency and distance....and speed for that matter) will increase your stamina.


edit:

as for your weight...yes you are very lean, but this is obviously because you must have grown quite quickly in a short period of time - you will eventually fill out, and at your age I won't be recommending any weight gainers...just eat healthy and frequently. However - if you are still having a problem gaining weight at 15+ yrs old - then I recommend Cytosport Cytogainer.

Is there something other than running that I can do? Because I live in Canada and the winters right now are pretty bitching cold lol.

and okay, I'll keep the weight thing in mind

thanks for the answers guys again

well besides running....jumping rope is sensible...as well as any other calisthenics at a sustained cardiovascular pace. (literally just moving around vigorously...doesn't have to be a specific exercise...even if its just jogging in place...or jumping jacks)

okay, thank a lot
