For those who have busy lives, when do you find time to exercise?

Question

I am a college student. I go to school from 930A to 1P. Then i work from 2 to 6. When I get home I squeeze in what ever time I have to study, then shower and get to bed. I always see people who are fit and wonder, when do they ever get the time? Should I start waking up earlier to go jogging before school everyday? I worry that i'll just be more stressed out from the lack of sleep. What should I do.

Answer 1

It's hard. I've had a similar schedule. I get only 5-6 hours sleep per day with school and work. I do have days off though, so I just lift them days.

Sometimes I'll eat right after work and lift weights an hour afterwards. It's harder to get to sleep right after that, but if you get only 5 hours sleep, you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Try this schedule:

SCHOOL: 9:30AM - 1:00 PM
WORK: 2PM - 6PM
STUDY: 6PM - 9PM (eat while you study)
WORKOUT: 9PM - 10PM
SHOWER
SLEEP: 12AM - 7 OR 8 AM

Answer 2

How can a person exercise more despite the busy stressful lives we live?

At work:

1. Take a brisk walk at lunch time.
2. Stand up at your feet and stretch every half hour.
3. Walk a little faster.(Imagine you're late at work, that will do.)
4. If you go to work by public transport, get off at an earlier stop and walk the rest of the way.

At home:

1. Get up to switch TV channels instead of using the remote control.
2. Plan a regular, brisk weekend walk
