Thread: no time

Is there any way you could workout in school, maybe in a health/gym class? Also do you work every day? If not there are weekends you could workout on and if you have a day or two that you don't work fit some more in there.

Hey I was there believe me! I did it for years in high school and it was tough but I managed it. Diet is very tuff to manage while in school but it can be done, depending on your diet I use to eat in between classes (even though I wasn't allowed). I did everything possible to get my stuff done. I was also a waiter and have been for the past 8 years or so. Its definatly tuff to eat while working and when your in the weeds its the last thing on your mind. But when ever you get a chance just shovel some food down or a shake/protein bar. Leave a dish in the kitchen and every time you go in take a big bite, then make sure its swallowed by the time you go back out to the dining room.

O and chillllllll, done worry we are here to help ya out with these problems. Done sweat it once you get into the rythm of things everything will be much easier, its always like this once school starts. Just give it some time and things will find their place as long as you try to help them find their place Also what is your work schedual like? And don't do your entire routine in one day, if anything do a full body workout of just a few sets per muscle.

Try to get your workouts in atleast on the weekends.

my two week schedule for this week is:
Saturday: work
Sunday and Monday: off
Tuesday - friday: work
Saturday and sunday: off
Monday - thursday: work

get up at 5 and train, before school.. its not the ideal situation, thahts for sure. i feel for ya. gotta do what you gotta do thou girl. good luck

So you pretty much always get 2 days off a week correct? You could do an upper lower body split, or mix legs/back one day then chest/delts/arms the next day. Just don't do as much volume each day. You don't need to use that split b/c I'm sure there are much better out there but its just a general idea.

Also you can do the 5am thing. I did it when I had no time to lift and it worked fine. Just grap a cup of joe and run with it, its truely just for the dedicated though. Not easy waking up but you feel so good the rest of the day.

There are always ways to fit in diet and excercise you just need to want it bad enough. I know you can do it b/c you are stronger then many people I know just for even trying at your age. Just keep truckin girl you'll do fine and don't sweat it. If all else fails just take a little brake from everything and maybe just do cardio or something until you get situated with school and work. Thats last resort though, c'mon this is nothin for ya!

gettin up at 5 am is my last resort ... i had to get up every morning last yr at 5 am to get ready for school (took a 1st pd) i didnt take one this year for that excact reason ... i dont wanna get up at 5 am ... i am moody n grumpy when i dont get ne sleep!! lol ... but uhhh looks like i'll have to do something eh? ... how bout 6???? ... yea 6 sounds better!! lol

i suggest blowing off homework when you get home from work. perfect place to fit in your workout.

shit i blow off my homework ... and my grades will fall i no it! i'm not playing sports this year fot that exact reason (and bc i have a job now) ... i mean sure my workout only takes about 45 mins ... but shit i'm shaking so bad after i workout i can barely hold my cup when i go to drink water ... so how would i be able to write??

When i was pressed for time with school, work, the gym, girlfriend, etc.. i did the early morning thing(got up at about 5 am) I couldnt workout in the school gym because, well my school gym blew goats.

I used to have to be to work at 3:30AM and get out of my last class around 11PM, that sucked.

this was just a joke. school should come first. how many years of high school do you have left?

why not workout whenever you have time. You say it takes you like an hour and 15 mins to get ready to go? Why not get up 30 mins earlier and not waste time? I do realize your a girl, but an hour and 15 mins for school is excessive.

i'm a sophmore so i have 2 more years left! yea i no an hour and 15 is a bit much to get ready for school ... but i dont no i'm just really slow when it comes time to gettin ready for school! like i get up ... iron my clothes, take care of hygiene, pull my hair down .. then i end up changing my clothes at the last min so i have to iron that .. then i have to make sure i've got everything i need for school (hw and books) then i grab something to eat (if nething) ... and then off to school ... yea i no that doesnt seem like much but it is! but yea i think i'ma just start gettin up at like 6 ... 6:10 to workout!

yea it sounds like a full schedule for sure. your diet can be fixed regardless of school. do you work every night of the week?
