Answer 1

That seems pretty active - take one day to rest, just from working out. Every time you work out you make little tears in your muscle fibers - which is what is supposed to happen, but the way that your muscles gain strength (and therefore make you healthier) is giving them a day or two to repair themselves.

Also, if you work yourself too much, you'll end up frustrated and quit all together, or you might end up letting homework build up (looks like you probably have quite a work load) and having to take a couple weeks off of it all together, which would really reverse anything you've gotten accomplished.

Answer 2

I say you are pretty active. Just remember take time out for yourself so that you don't get burn out with you active lifestyle. Don't pile your schedule so that you don't have some down time. Life is to short to sell yourself short. If you do this you will be a great benefit to yourself as well as to others.

Look it's the quality not the quantity sometimes. Maybe your like me and need to really do intense exercise to reduce weight. I found that I had to really increase my fitness to reduce my weight and work really hard at the gym. I don't class work as being active nor college. Not sure what your workouts consist of but maybe you need to look at your eating. If you eat too many carbs you will find it hard to lose weight. Don't get me wrong i don't believe in not eating them just limiting them after 4pm. Here is my regime:
If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit & blow outs.

Here are the golden rules:
Be prepared only have good food in the house
Initially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt OR
Banana smoothie - homemade lots of ice, banana, low GI low fat yoghurt & scoop protein this makes two servings so put the other serve in fridge for tomorrow morning.
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
