Finding time to Excercise

As a student i am pretty busy with class and home work, but I always find time to exercise.  I am on a 5 to 6 day lifting schedule that is not too strict.  I mostly perform resistance training but i also perform plyometrics and medicance ball training. I try to get anywhere from a half an hour to an hour of cardio, usually in a traditional way like jogging and the elliptical. But i also play pick-up basketball and football to get a cardio workout in, and i feel like the more untraditional methods to be a better and more enjoyable workout.

My first post

I am a Student at Slippery Rock University who is majoring in Health & Physical Education. As i go through classes for I have found out how important staying in shape and taking care of your body is to leading a healthy life. Most commen health problems that people have and spend large amounts of money on trying to fix through theropy and medications, can be fixed by a healthier lifestyle. So as a future Physical Educator I think it is important that i set an example by being fit and inshape for my students. So now as a student I need to be physically active and lead that healthy lifestyle that I need to be healthy.
