Think of one activity you would like to do at least twice a week to improve your stamina. It could be running, jumping, climbing stairs or anything else. Discuss it with your friends and try doing such activities together.
Activities to improve stamina include running, jumping, climbing stairs, skipping rope, cycling, swimming, or playing sports like football or badminton.
Doing these activities at least twice a week strengthens the cardio-respiratory system, builds muscle strength, and enhances body flexibility.
When done with friends, these activities become more enjoyable and motivating.
Regular practice increases endurance, making physical tasks easier over time.
Explanation

Harpreet's grandmother's example shows that both mind and body should stay active. The discussion encourages students to choose activities they enjoy and practice them regularly with friends.
