How to stick table header(thead) on top while scrolling down the table rows with fixed header(navbar) in bootstrap 3?

Bootstrap layout with fixed-navbar. Having table with so many rows in body.

Issue? As i scroll the page navigation-bar will be there because it is fixed. as i scroll more i want table header to be fixed under navigation-bar and the content of table(table-body) scrolls without scroll bar!
