<p>So I've noticed that it's incredibly difficult to find time to exercise in high school. I've got five weighted classes and multiple after school extra-curriculars and with the workload, it's pretty hard to keep in shape. I used to be on swim team, but it's off season now and I'm probably not going to join this year. These days, I try to go jogging on the weekends, even though I hate running with every fiber of my being(Sorry, cross-country runners). Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and how they deal with it?</p>
<p>Well, I don’t have time to exercise, either, so what I do is do simple ones, like push ups and sit ups, before and after school. It’s the most I can do in such small intervals.</p>
<p>In the weeks I’ll try to do something like jogging. Exercising helps the brain, you know.</p>
<p>Actually I m also facing the same problem didn’t got time for exercise, but always go to morning walk at least for ten two twenty minutes. This make me feel fresh and energetic.</p>
<p>its hard for yall? LOL its hard for me not to exercise, just condition for a sport or go to the park on the weekends and jog and hoop like i do :D</p>
<p>I’m glad I’m on cross country haha, I hated running at first, but I guess I’ve learned to like it. Really though, I always feel great after exercising.</p>
<p>Yea, I do XC. So I get to run ~5 miles a day, lift every other day, and get recognized for doing an EC. </p>
<p>Once you get those endorphins flowing, it’s actually <em>easier</em> to do other things like homework, college apps. etc. (After a quick shower and nap, of course 
)</p>
<p>My offseason doesn’t even start until January so I’ve just been getting lazy and fat. Not much motivation to work out when I have to spend so much time studying for SATs, working on college apps, and all that crap.</p>
<p>You really should make time to exercise and especially at a young age, you should be doing at least an hour a day, 4-5 days a week. It’s a lot harder to get in shape as you get older. Further, it’s pretty well established that there is a positive correlation between regular exercise and academic performance. Figure out a way to find that hour a day and if not, perhaps drop one of your extracurriculars since in my opinion, good health is too important compared to almost anything else you’re doing.</p>
<p>Well since my dad bought a bowflex workout system and a treadmill, it seems much easier for met to exercise at home. </p>
<p>I am usually done with my homework/SAT work/EC’s + dinner and COD (haha) at 9, so I woukout with my dad until 10 (so we can spot each other), and then I just quickly drink some protein, maybe grill up some tilapia for extra protein, and get in bed by 10:30 and by 11:00 at latest if I feel like watching George Lopez :P</p>
<p>I wouldnt have time to work out uf i didnt run track/XC…or dance</p>
<p>Every day but sunday and thursday, I go to rowing practice for 2- 2.5 hours so I do have time to exercise</p>
<p>I have crew every day except Saturday and Sunday.</p>
<p>Monday-Wednesday is 3:45 to 6
Thursday and Friday is 3:30 to 6</p>
<p>Rowing or erging everyday. Rowing isn’t as bad as erging though. I always hate when it rains because of the ridicululous 5 mile runs around the indoor track and then an hour of erging after that (around 11k).</p>
<p>But our rowing team is one of the best in the Southeast.</p>
<p>With cross country, I’ve gotten way more exercise than I’d ever want. We get 5-8 mile runs every day and I’m like :. </p>
<p>Now, it’s over and I am so happy. I used to like running but HS cross country squashed that(middle school cross country was actually fun). </p>
<p>For exercise, I think I’ll just do pushups in front of the TV or something. I get a reasonable amount of exercise from gym class and moving from class to class in a large, spread out school.</p>
<p>I walk home from school. Since it’s a couple of miles, I get a decent amount of exercise. While it’s nothing amazing, I try to supplement it with sit-ups, squats, jumping jacks, and other simple stuff. </p>
<p>Exercise has never been my strong suit. >_></p>
