    Respected Sir/mam,

    Protein shakes will help but so will the lack of routine. If you do the same thing every time you work out your muscles will get used to it. Mix it up.

    You know you should also perform stretching exercises? I'm told they help much. Have proteins as ZoeMarie said, if you can, do shorts series.

    Say, you lift ten times a dumbbell on Monday. Next time, you do two times the series, with a pause in between. Once you can keep up with the pace, increase to three, then four. If you fell that is easy, go on to increase the length of the series. So, you'll do series of 15 for example, or 15, 12, 10 just for the sake of not overdoing yourself.

    This will also increase your endurance.

    Hope it helped! :)
