exercising around a school schedule?

well school started last monday and im finding it difficult to find time. I go to school at 7 and get back home at 230 but the ap classes im taking are consuming most of my evenings. my plan before school started was to run on the school track in the morning and during lunch and run after school when i got home but our track is currently off limits what do i do? what do you do?

I think that's a lot of running and you're not being very realistic. 30 mins 3-5 days a week is sufficient, so choose a few days a week and run around your neighborhood before you shower for school. That's sufficient, sustainable, and doesn't need a track. do some resistance work using your body weight. a couple sets of squats, lunges, pushups, and sit ups will suffice. I hope this helps!!

yes it does because ive been working out like that alot with lots of running a three mile jog/walk in the morning and in the evening everynight. but  im slow and it was taking 40 minutes. but then after doing that every day for about three my legs would hardly move so id veg for the rest of the week which didnt feel effective

yes what does? if you're being realistic then fitting it in wouldn't be a problem. my point is that there are only so many hours in a day and you don't NEED to run 3 times a day to be healthy. if your legs wouldn't move i think that's a sign.

If you like running, maybe you could look into joining your school's cross-country and/or track team.  I was in the best shape of my life during every XC season!  It's more fun to run with a group than alone and you'll have more motivation to keep up with it than you would just running on your own.  Plus it will look good on college apps!  Just a thought...

i feel your pain... AP classes = death, haha.

join the cross country team! i just joined it this year and i love it. :) it's fun and you'll be able to fit it into your schedule because it's got set times and everything.

i also have marching band, though... so i have no free time. ;(

ive been thinking about this too. what about trying out some still running in your room? i hate AP classes thats why ive given up on them
