Well its September 1st and alot of people are now back to school for the next 10 months. But its not all doom and gloom, instead see this as a great thing for your training.
A lot of you are probably thinking 'OH NO!' this means more work and less time to train, but instead I suggest looking at this as a time of getting into a good routine.
Being back at school most likely means training at night or very very early in the morning. I suggest for weights training that you wait until the evening before training if you are back at school. This is because your muscles will be in peak condition to train them after school and then you will have all night to grow and repair your damaged muscle tissue. Also an evening training session means that you will have consumed most likely a carb and protein meal for dinner, this is the optimum meal to have before a workout if you are aiming to build muscle.
Another downside to school is that you will find you will sit around alot, obviously. But if you keep a good posture in your seat, and don't swing or slouch then you will actually be strengthening your core muscles and this will help you get better abs!
Finally the big gain from going back to school actually comes from your diet. When you are in school you will be without the temptation of snacking from the kitchen cupboard which results in a significant reduction in your carb intake and so lead to a better overall diet. Also if you take a packed lunch you will be able to monitor your protein and calorie intake to a higher degree than the school dinners and this will help you achieve your goals and should give you better results from your training.
So don't look at September as back to the doom and gloom of tests and homework and instead see it as a time to get your fitness routine sorted out.
