my college offers a zumba class at 5:50 am do you think as a college student getting up and going three days a week would leave me out of energy by the end of the day if i cant go to bed early? Worth a try you think?

    If you're getting up earlier, you should go to bed earlier the night before. If that's not an option, I'd say skip the Zumba.

    You should be fine. Being a college student is not strenuous...it's not like you'd be going to sling heavy boxes at UPS or got stand on your feet for 10 hours straight at a factory or something. You'll just be going to class, walking across campus and such. Try it for a week or so and see how you feel.

    I would say try it and see! Make sure you get to bed early the night before, and listen to your body, if you feel yourself starting to run down or have a hard time keeping focus throughout the day cut back or stop them.

    I tried working midnights in college and then going to an early morning dance class...after about 3 weeks I had to quit my part time job because I just took on too much. As long as you balance everything and get enough rest you should be good :smile:

    Do you have to commit to the full semester?

    It might be a bit of a tough adjustment to begin with but after a while you may find you have more energy.. I get up at 3.10am for the gym and granted I am usually asleep by 9pm I find by the end of the week I am not a zombie like I used to be when overwieght and eating crap all the time..
