    Well any kind of exercise increases your 'stamina', so your question is rather vague. Do you have a specific purpose or a goal you want to achieve? – Ivo Flipse Jan 01 '12 at 20:37

Aerobic exercise will increase your endurance. (I'm assuming you mean the same thing by stamina and endurance.)

Aerobic exercise would include exercises like distance running, swimming, and biking. Some guidelines for the target heart rate for aerobic exercise are in this chart:
