Study, work, workout?

[Samantha11481]

I am starting my LPN classes in less than two weeks, so I am going to have a lot less time on my hands. So I am curious how other nursing students find time to go to class, study, go to work, and also workout?

How often do you exercise a week and what type do you do, and what time of day do you find it most convienent to break a sweat?

Thank you all for your replies. :)

Working with nursing school....I luckily have a flexible PT job and usually work anywhere from 6-24 hrs a week (more on breaks) but I can also study and read while I'm at work. I'm lucky!!!

Working out....what is that again??? LOL...I have two young kids (1&3) so I take as much down time as I can to spend with my husband and kids!

The only time I get to workout is during the summer. I kick it up hardcore, about 1.5-2 hours a day, 5 times a week. During school, I feel as if there's not enough hours in the day as it is. My trick is to eat healthy and thus, I maintain my weight nicely. I eat around 1,200 kcal a day.

I like to work out in the morning and then I'm done for the day. It's too easy to come up with excuses later in the day. I just wake up 40 minutes earlier than usual and I try to do this 4 times a week.
