I work full time shifts as a nurse so a lot of times have to get up at 5am which means being in bed by nine. i also have 5 assignments to write in two months. I finish work at 3 and am so knoackered I just wanna sit my ass down and watch tv but I really want to get fit! Any suggestions about how i can inspire myself to hit the gym/pool/anything to get my doing some form of exercise!

The problem is that sometimes I'm on lates (1:15pm-9pm)so it's hard to get into a routein - please help me xx

hmm perhaps you need to write a schedule out of your work shifts and add in your study time and sleep time and social time and then see where you can add some exercise? even maybe just look at 30mins a day and swap every second day cardio and then weights on the other days.

during your work shifts make sure on your tea breaks you stretch yourself. find an empty office or go outside and just even bend over to touch your toes and hold it and then stretch your legs, rotate your ankles, stretch your calves and triceps and arms so that you are intergrating exercise into your very tigfht schedule.

if you have time for social stuff with friends (which sounds like you probably dont!) but if you do perhaps invite friends to go walking with you or to the gym with you insetad of the movies or somethign thats sedentary.

Yeah, I think this is what I'm gonna have to do... Surprisingly I do have fun, I live with a really cool gurl and we have a great time together - eventually when our schedules co-inside we'll be able to work out togethter but there's deffinatly plenty of socialising, not sure how we fit it in mind...

I which this was possible but with one 15 minute break to get a drink in the morning and only half an hour for dinne it's just not possible! I have to sit down on these breaks as these are the only times in 8 hours that i get to!

cheers for the help though. I will plan plan plan ! :-) xx
