    So you have 2 hours between 8 and 10 (if you need 8 hours sleep and get up at 6). Spend an hour on home work, half an hour working out and half an hour in front of the tv before bed, simples.

    I have 3 hours of homework everyday

    So when do you do 3 hours if you are in bed for 10?

    It's supposed to take 3 hours but I get it done in 2-2,5 hours

    Riiiiiight.

    Hi guys,
    I have 2 horses and go to school so I use a lot of time on that. I usually get home at 8 and I don't have time for much else. I really want to build up muscles because I get a lot of injures since I'm weak hehe... The problem is I don't have time and I'm hoping some of you can help me :)

    Thank you everyone I have 5 horses I need to ride everyday so it's not that I'm making excuses not to workout. The problem is I don't have time to do a 1 hour workout since I need 8 hours sleep to function. I was more asking for some exercises that don't take a lot of time but are effective



    Where did the extra 3 horses come from?

    Anyhow ...do this http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

    Get in your gym at school and do this http://stronglifts.com/5x5/

    But riding and horse care should be great exercise

    I used to have 2 to 4 hours of homework most nights.

    Do you prepare the horses yourself or do you have a groom do that for you? If the latter then there's a quick workout right there - groom and saddle up the horses, muck out their stables and take water and hay bales to them. Plus do 10 squats and lunges before and after mounting. I'm sure there are plenty of sturdy bars or door frames in the stable where you could do pull ups for example.
    - Stop making up excuses and get creative!

    So workout at the weekends

    Ride fewer horses to fit in a progressive lifting routine

    Volunteer to muck out the stables

    Can the excuses and just do something about it

    Or stick with the girlish "I'm so weak hehe"

    Holy cow, if you aren't strong riding 5 horses a day, then I don't know what will get you there...
    I used to be a working student at a dressage farm, riding 3-5 times a day, plus tacking and grooming for the boss, plus moving hay and manure and 19 hand stallions around. I was built like a freaking powerlifter. I miss those biceps...

    If all you do is ride and you're not strong from that, may I recommend volunteering to care for your own horses? It builds a bond with them, makes you more fit, and it makes your likely overworked grooms much happier (speaking from experience here).

    Squats, push ups, sit ups. You can do them just before your shower. :)

    I gave you two programmes to follow which you ignored and told me to relax


    I will assume this was a language barrier and not rudeness

    It's just that I can't help with the horses you have to have an education to muck out.
    But yes I do groom them. I guess I can just do some exercises at home maybe buy some barbells or something

    No thank you I saw them. It's just that a lot of people are being rude here and I didn't really get why you had to comment on the horse thing it just seems unnecessary

    You said it was easy, and sometimes it's not. I'm not saying it should be an excuse, but saying it is easy isn't helpful.

    Maybe you don't have a lot of homework in your country but it's not the same all over the world

    What?!? Since when do you need any type of education to muck out a stable?

    I used to ride when I was in middle/high school. There wasn't much fund for after schools activities, so I pretty much earned about 70% of my riding lessons by doing stable work. One of the big things was mucking out stables and grooming. No education required.

    Grooming was actually required after your lessons, as well as saddling up your own horse and stuff.

    You own 2 horses, but ride 5 on the weekend, but don't do any grooming or mucking? No one "just rides" their horses. I am sorry, but with so many inconsistencies I call shenanigans.

    You can ride the horses but you're not allowed to muck out?

    My horses are in a stable with few horses and the owner of the stable have been to the Olympics so he wants there to be a certain standard
