I'm a healthy 18 year old male. My resting pulse is 72, and I have a regular blood pressure. I'm 5' 10" and weigh 160 pounds.
The problem is, I have a fairly slim frame, and I've got too much fat for my liking around my buttocks and torso.
I'm not an athlete by any measure, but I walk a lot and can engage in fast paced physical activity. But - I have TERRIBLE endurance. A 5 - minute vigorous dodgeball game can have be on the bench for twice as long with oxygen debt. I run out of breath quickly, and I push myself beyond that point I get a painful stitch in my left side.
I'm also a regular blood donor, so I know that there's nothing wrong with my blood's iron/hemoglobin content.
What can I do to cut the extra pounds and get more stamina?
** By the way, I know 160 is a healthy weight for someone like me - it's just quite disproportionate, and it's easier to lose weight than to try to move it around.
