Problem exercising before work...

[BlackLamb]

Unfortunately, since I've started college I've gained weight and went up a few pants sizes, which I hate. I used to work out on our treadmill before I had to leave for school back in high school, and I want to get back into my old routine so I can lose the extra weight.

However, I work at a concession stand at a movie theatre, often during the day, and I'm on my feet for hours. I usually end up in pain and when I come home my legs and feet are aching for a good while, so jogging is out of the question then. I work most of the week, so my only solution is getting up early to work out. But then I wasn't sure if this would just serve to wear my legs out faster during the day. I know execrcise can be very energizing, but I was wondering if it would end up causing more pain and problems for me later on? I was fine when I did it before school because I was sitting all day, but I'm not entirely sure how my body is going to react to a bout of strenuous exercise and then fairly long periods of being on my feet.

I'm sure there are other people here that have to deal with physically taxing jobs, so I was wondering how other people deal with it and when they find time to exercise?

Well a frind and I used to do that. And he was on his feet all day to. He said that it helped him out a bit. We where doing about two mile runs. But we did those offten so it wasn't to bad. If your worried about it can work your way up on it. Short but high intense, it will wake you up to.

if your school has a pool, you could try swimming laps as well

Stop talking and making excuses, and start exercising in the mornings. Do something that doesn't fatigue your legs. You will hurt less because you're in better shape and not carrying around all the extra weight... but I'm pretty sure you know all this and you simply need a kick in the (big) butt! Now get going!!!
