Is anybody else out there in college? How do you fit working out inbetween classes? Anyway, I hope to get to know you all a little better over the next few months. Wish me luck!!

The only time for me to workout is late in the afternoon, after work. Anyway, you'll find lots of motivation here. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Anyway, I'm sure you can do it, and you're on the right site to help you. Just dedicate yourself to your goals. If you ever need any advice, just ask us! Best of luck to you...........Michael

One thing I often hear is your student people having probs about eating several small (healthy!!) meals every day. We have been discussion this prob before and actually it's up to you, if you want to do it or not. I mean you are going for a life style change here and we are all with you!! Good luck!

It's basically an easy 'A' if you commit to going to class, and it guarantees that you'll have time to work out!

I was able to talk my ROTC instructor into letting me lift while other people are at PT, so i get up at 450 3 days and the other two days i work out at 1 after classes. anybody have any tips on snacks/supplements/MRPs or ways to get around mess hall food, nutrition is a problem here.
