Skipping?

Hi Everyone,

At the moment i've got a big exam coming up for work so i'm basically getting in and doing as much work as I can for it. It puts a hold on me going to the gym on a weeknight as i only really have 4/5 hours spare once getting in from work, and taking 2/2.5 hours out to get to the gym (it takes about 20 minutes to travel there, 20 minutes back, then shower etc!) and with housework etc, I can't get enough time to sit down and do the work i need to.

I can go to the gym of a weekend but I was thinking of maybe buying a skipping rope and doing 10 minutes or so after every 45 minutes of revision? Is it an effective thing to do? Or would a home workout plan be more effective?

I just want to do something as my usual trick is to just not do any exercise and all and use the exams as an excuse.

Any suggestions would be welcome it's only for about 3 or 4 weeks, but I have 5 or so exams to do so i'll be having this problem often.

Thanks!
