When do you find time to work out?

Published

Hey everyone. I am finishing up my intro semester of nursing school, and between full time school, part time job, homework, work asking me to come in for another shift ( im a prn), and finding time to eat or hang out with my husband...I really need to exercise, but dont know when or how to find the time?

I ride a bike to and from school. You can try riding a stationary bike while doing your reading assignments?

I wish I could safely do this. I can ride a good 40 to 50 miles at a time, but I live 30 minutes by car and highway. There's no way I could ride to school. Plus, I would be seriously stinky by the time I got there. ;)

Recumbent bike whenever I am studying. Works out great, time goes by fast too.

What is this "working out" of which you speak?

Previous post kind of a joke, but also some truth. It can be really easy to put caring for yourself last on the list, as a nurse. And the longer you do that, the harder it is to start again.

I started my 4:30 wake up and run routine today to get ready for school (start in 2 weeks). This is gonna be tough! Maybe I won't run every day after all.
