where do you find time to exercise during vce?!

[Water]

Not sure about you guys, last year (yr 11), before I went to sleep, I always did 10-15 mins stretching and 1hour of exercising, whatever it may be, this usually was a regular routine , which happened 4 to 5 days out of 7. xD.


The Downside, after going home from school, I immedietely took a nap from 4pm to 6pm, dinner straight away and slept at 2am. :x Which left remainder for piano and h/w and what not.hahahaxD

Compared to other students, my stress level was almost none

Just get massive man. Don't let education deter you from achieving your heart's desire.

This is what I do, with the naps and sleeping at 2am...but without the "10-15 mins stretching and 1hour of exercising"...LOL! As others have said...I just keep telling myself that I'm gonna work it off after year 12 (which I'm still determined to do). Although...I still do competitive sports at school which involves 2 afternoon training sessions and a saturday morning game/match. Good enough.

Surely you can find 30 minutes or 1 hour before dinner.

Exercise in the mornin before school helps make you awake and makes you more alert during the day gets body going

[flash36]

I tried that, but I was wrecked by the end of the day. You need every ounce of sleep you can get in year 12 in my opinion.

unfortunately, my body isnt as willing as to let go of all that fat if i were u

and i think i prefer exercise in the afternoon, though they say its the best right after u just woke up, coz ur working on an emtpy stomach.....or was that to just lose weight? lol.
i plan to wake up early to get some hw done, so then i get the afternoon for exercise..and some hw if i need to

I noticed a disturbing thing about sleep in this thread. The best thing you can do is get to sleep by 11-11:30pm. Earlier is even better. It gets a lot harder grinding out the days when youre sleeping at 2:30am and waking up at 7. Try to get used to sleeping early even if its not what you WANT to do.

I plan to play footy or soccer during recess/lunch at school and maybe go for a run a few days a week and workout. I reckon that should be enough to keep me semi-fit.

recently i was at the AIS and we had a coac speak to us about the little things, but he said the hours b4 12 oclock were best time to sleeep as you gain the most there.... just something on sleep

in regards to exercise, when i said wake up early, it could simply mean 6:30 and go for a 30 minutes walk or jog, if u do that, you sould stil be able to get your 8-10 hours of sleep if u go to be say 9ish? but i guess it depens on how much h/w you do after school and your other comittments

HAHAHAHA I can confirm that after studying 'Sleep' as part of Psych -.-

NREM sleep is essential for recovering from fatigue (and also many other things such as neurotransmitter replenishment) and NREM sleep occurs MORE in the earlier half of the the night than the latter. The more you delay your sleep, the less NREM sleep you'll get and the less recovery you'll have.

my idea of what to this year ( i'm in year 12 this year) is go to school, catch the bus straight to the gym after school, come home and have dinner, study my ass off and sleep like a baby then wake up early and study. studies show that studying straight after waking up increases memory storage or some shit like that. feedback?

On the contrary studying right before you sleep will aid in memory as REM sleep has a role in the consolidation of long-term memories.
