Never have time for exercise

heymari

I'm a busy student. I got to school at 7, band after school so I stay after til about 5 or 6, I hang out with friends for like another hour and then I go home to do my homework and sleep. I have no time to exercise! What are some exercises I can do in between school or any other tips you guys have?

maybe you can get your friends to go for a walk for part of that hour

It will only happen if you make it a priority.

When something is important enough, you make the time.

Cut your time with your friends to half an hour and use that time. Or get up earlier and go exercise. (I get up at four some days)

I have 3 kids and a husband to spend time with plus a full time job. It's hard. I've been getting up earlier on work days (don't really like it) and getting in 30 min on my exercise bike before getting me ready for work and everyone ready for school. Then I squeeze in another small workout later in the evening. It's hard but worth it.

I work from 8am-6pm at a nursery and I do agree it can be hard fitting it in, but because I know it's important I make time. I do a quick ten minute walk in the morning then again after work. I also go for a thirty-fifty minute walk on my lunchbreaks, I eat whilst walking so I'm not missing out on my lunchtime lol. It's not about losing weight for me, I'm trying to gain two stone. This is about getting my body healthy, therefore exercise is just as important as a good balanced diet.
I understand you have a busy schedule but you can always fit it in somehow:) Take care.

This. Make it a priority. Get up earlier, run outside, don't hang out with your friends everyday, use the weekends, and don't make excuses. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

Have your friends do it with you! Even if its something fun....like zumba, a fun DVD, or just a nice long walk.

I have 4 kids under 5.5, my husband and I both work full-time, and I am also a grad student. I am also training for a 10K, so I have to push myself to get up early in the morning or workout after the kids go to bed. I have to make it a priority, or I wont do it

I have 2 toddlers and a family too. The alarm goes off at 4 AM, in the gym by 4:30. Sometimes my lunch hour turns into a workout too. There are very few valid excuses really.

Like everyone else has said, it is all about priorities. Get your friends to work out with you. Play soccer, frisbee golf, dodge ball or basketball. All burn calories and is a lot of fun!

Never say never...

How do you get to and from school? Could you walk or ride your bike instead? Working your exercise into your transportation is a real time saver and helps make it a habit.

Agreed!!!

Wake up at 6

That hour you hang out with friends is enough time. You only need 30 minutes to get a good workout in! It's not impossible, you just have to make time.

Skip hanging out with your friends after band class on some days, if they're your good friends then they will be cool with it. Im like you except my day ends at 1130 pm and starts at 7am. Soooo my only advice to you, is whenever you think about how your going to do something, never rule out a possibility as "impossible" or "I can't do that", if your mind thought of it, its possible!

30 day shred is about 20 minutes

I'm a busy uni student. leave house at 6am, UNI GYM at 7am to 9am. classes til 4pm. travel to my MMA gym, train 5.30pm to 8.00pm. Every single day, i have no time to even socialize with my friends. If anything, i make time to socialize, i don't make time to train, training is my second priority, study is first. So what's more important to you? that is what you should ask your self.

xHelloQuincyx

i wake up at 6, ride the buss till 9, school till 3, bus again till 4 work till 11pm homework then do it all again the next day.
im doing the same thing you are
i have been doing 15 minutes of cardio a day and have seen some improvements. i take the stairs at school now (4 stories multiple times a day)
just gotta squeeze in what you can if you wanna suceed.

dr3am3r

theres 7 days in the week! so the weekend theres 2....now cut your friend time down to 2 days a week and use the other 3 days to get in 5 days of exercise..if your friends are true friends they will understand and stand behind you!....its only going to happen if you make it happen! good luck dear!

go be a kid and have fun in life and worry about this **** later.

Or...wake up 30 mins early and work out in a high quality fashion and youll do fine.

My opinion...go be a kid for a while!

When you're really ready, you'll make the time.

This. Go be a kid. Make healthy food choices, and walk to places instead of driving. I think learning to eat well is way more important.

Don't hang out with your friends? I don't have much of a social life these days, between school runs, uni, exercise and various council and committee meetings. I see a lot of people every day, but I never have time to socialise with any of them.

You will definitely have to make it a priority. Try getting up an hour earlier so that you can get at least 30 minutes of exercise in, and still be able to take a shower, eat a good breakfast, and get ready for school. Being young, now is the perfect time to get into good diet and exercise habits. You don't have school on the weekends, so try and get a workout in then. Maybe get some of your friends together for some group exercises like soccer, football, tennis, anything that gets you moving. Good luck, and I hope you find the right time to exercise that works with your schedule.

heymari

no thank you. i will worry about this **** now so i won't have to worry about it later in life when i'm not as strong as i am now. i spend my hour hanging out with friends; that's how i spend time being a kid:) I will use most of y'alls advice and wake up earlier to get my 30 minutes of exercise! thanks so much:))

When I quoted, I should've omit that part. But honestly, I do think learning to eat well is more important at your age. A lot of people gain the "freshman 15" because they eat badly and probably alcohol doesn't help, so that will not happen if you are eating well. Exercises are important for health, but weight loss are mostly diet.
