The key to fitness is consistency. This simple statement means that the more you do of something the more improvements you will make. Another great about doing something on a regular basis is that it eventually becomes a habit.
If your goal to become fitter, don’t think that exercising on a few odd days a week is going to get you to your goal. What you need is a written down plan, everthing that has succeeded has done so by a plan being followed, fitness is no exception.
Your first step is to decide how much you value your health and fitness. If you don’t hold any value to it,then please go back to what you were doing before you started reading this.
If you are concerned about your health and fitness, then thats a good start, because you have a desire. It is this desire that will motivate you to continue. Without motivation you are wasting your time and efforts.
Once you have made your decision, the key to fitness will be what do you want to get fit for. What are you after?
Is it weight loss
Is it more energy
Is it to increase strength
Is it to increase flexibilty
Is to look more toned
It can be any or all of the above, but whatever it is, you will need to decide because this is what will become your goal. If you don’t have a goal, how can you reach it?
The next stage is to decide what sorts of exercises you want to do. Do not just pick things that everyone else is doing. Try to think of exercises or activities that you are going to enjoy, and will fit in around your life.
If you hate running then don’t do it. there are plenty of other substitutes for running. There is no point doing something that you hate, because you won’t do it for very long.
Educate yourself about exercise, take some time looking on the internet about fitness methods. You will find an endless amount of information on health and fitness online. It’s worth putting this time in in trying to find out what is going to suit you.
The next thing is to work out how much time you can dedicate to your fitness goals, and you should be thinking of around six hours a week. This may sound a lot, but when you consider how many hours there are in a week, it is a relatively small amount of time.
You have to decide which days of the week you will be training. Stick to these days so they become regular part of your life. Pretty soon training on these days will become a habit.
The last step is not to miss any training days, the key to fitness is consistency. Keep doing what you do, keep improving on what you do, and you cannot fail but to reach your goals. You only fail when you quit! So don’t quit and keep going no matter what and you will get to where you want to be.

If James Blake Improved His Stamina, Do You Think His Consistency & Game Would Improve?
Based upon my observations of his play, he doesn’t appear to have the stamina that other top players have. In long points, he often tries to overhit the ball, go for the improbable winner, and lose the point.
Do you think that his game would improve if he worked on his fitness and stamina?
No, James Blake is terrible.
Hewitt!!!!

hes not patient enough. why do you think federer has hardly ever lost to the guy? Fed takes his time to set up winners and humiliate his opponents. Blake tries to do the 1-2 punch technique so the points end sooner, and he isnt good enough to do that. I really think he should consider retirement after next year (depending how it goes). He usually does well in the US Open Series and after that, but maybe he wont. I think he’ll do better in the Outback Series or Black Rock Tour of Champions, thats just my opinion

Yes!!!

i think we have seen the best that we will see with James Blake. he just doesnt have enough game and variety and consistency to be a slam winner. he should be praised by reaching the #5 player in the world with his game, but it isnt enough to beat the top tier of Federer, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic, or even Roddick.

I agree, Blake is done. He should retire.

Blake is a good player. He could beat me. He would do slightly better if his stamina was stronger. However, he does not have the skills needed to be a true champion. He has gone through tons of adversity in his life. I wish him all the best.

James Blake’s problem is that he has no heart. I mean out of all the Americans, he’s the least determined. Even though Roddick hasn’t won a slam since 03, you can tell how much dedication he has. Roddick at the grand slams gives his all. The same exact thing with the William sisters. There both determined and believe in themselves. Blake’s problem is not his coach, playing style, or stamina. The problem that Blake has is with himself. I don’t understand the big deal about Blake. 25 years from now, who will care about a choker. Also where does the comparison to Arthur Ashe come from. Because it should definitely not come from tennis. Ashe was a grand slam champion while Blake hasn’t even won a masters series event. Also he’s definitely not a humanitarian like Ashe was. So the only comparison I can see is what’s visible. So for a comparison to be made, just shows how are Society looks at each other. Blake needs to retire. Go back to harvard and actually get a DEGREE. I know I have no right to say this. Because as a human being i should put myself in Blake’s shoes and see his struggles. i mean is very hard to get where he’s at in the ranking. It takes years and years of personal sacrifice. Plus he has some tragedies in his life. The reason why I’m being critical is: I’m tired of people viewing Blake as a contender.
This man should not be viewed as a major contender in any event. He hasn’t earned that right. But who cares,all this doesn’t matter. What truly matter is what’s inside Blake. Hopefully he’s a better person, than he is as a contender and athlete.
