BIG life changes and now i need help

[LoveGuinness]

ok so basically i start medical school on monday. i am overly stressed, i will be overly stressed, and i wont have much time. my day will look like this: wake up at 6am, shower, eat, coffee, study til class starts at 9am, in class til 5pm or later (anatomy lab will make it go later), and then study till dinner/a small/TV/forum break, and then sleep 8 hours.


i put on some weight, ive been losing it, but i am really worried about putting on the pounds.

i plan on walking to school and back, which will give me about a mile walk every day. but i know i need to do some weight lifting (espically if my cadavar is on the larger side).

what types of exercises should i be doing? i really dont want to go to a gym during the week, i can do it on the weekends though.

good luck in med school.

If you can lift on the weekends, I'd say divvy up the body push/pull and alternate. Meaning, do bench press overhead press leg press on sat, and lat pulldowns, rows, and leg curls on sunday.

then in between do a morning ritual of situps and push ups around daily.

or some such.

i think that morning ritutal of situps and push ups will be helpful. thanks for that advice!

Body weight exercises might be the best bet for you along with some heavier weights then what you've been using. So instead of doing your usual high reps do low reps with heavier weight. Also reduce your rest time, if you have to rest look into doing an active rest.

What is an active rest?
