Just write it as a part of your schedule that you do at the same time but everyweek make it a different date.
Although, this varies on your subjects and if you have a busy day.
So say if you have "easy days" on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. Put half an hour to an hour of exercise into your schedule as a maybe if time permits and if it doesn't work out on the Monday make sure you do it on the Wednesday as a reward.

There is always the option of joining a soccer team or a cricket team or a football team or a netball team.
It is then part of your schedule always, you also get the social benefits of meeting new friends.

I'd recommend joining a sports team/association that has regular training dates, but if that's too much commitment then definitely werdna's idea, breaking up study into 50 minute periods and instead of wasting ten minutes of each hour crawling back to the television or bed, go for a walk, get some fresh air :3

I played footy during year 12 (January until September) which was two nights a week and games on Saturday (which took up the whole day generally). On Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, when I got home from school at 4 after my bus trip I'd go for a run for about half an hour, and then start homework some time before 5pm. This allowed at least 2 hours before dinner and then as much as I wanted after dinner (usually 2 - 3 hours).

Exercising regularly was a key to my year 12, it freshened me up and burned some energy that I had from sitting down all day at school and studying at home. Do whatever you can to work in some exercise into your timetable is my advice.

oh, so you just had three-four nights a week to study? did u manage to keep up with work and all? i go to the gym, for around 2-3 days a week, but that's in yr11. dunno how id cope with the workload/ stress in yr12 AND motivate myself to head to gym........all that membership money.....down the drain....=="

[flash36]

Didn't go to the gym, probsbly the reason why I'm still the same size I was in year 9!

But yeah, on training nights I probably only did 2 hours study at the most, but on Sundays I did 6 or 7 hours.

Part 2 didn't work out too well for you my dear...

[cameron_15]

Throughout year 12 I made significant gains in strength working out at the gym and refining my diet.  I spent about 4.5 hours a week working out and rode my mountain bike on top of that.

I knew all along I wanted to do this and that I would have to make some sacrifices in order to achieve my academic goals. For me, I spent most of lunchtime in the library and made every spare worthwhile, not once did I leave school early (if I had no classes) and I never took the option of sleeping in.

If your really struggling to find time, I'd suggest lowering your study time by half an hour and using it to exercise, at least every second night.

[slothpomba]

I'm sure you'd have some spare time, surely you cant be studying all day every day.

You'll find time, i know i did.

Use leisure time to exercise and have fun at the same time. How?

Buy the Xbox360 Kinect with game "Kinect Adventures" and play the mode 'Reflex ridge', a fun way to physically wear your body out in 30 mins, saving time in your daily routine of school/work/play+exercise .

Use leisure time to exercise and have fun at the same time. How?

Exercise itself is fun. And it doesn't have to be in front of a TV screen either like you're suggesting
