Training At Uni...

Post by mr.zog »

Hola Guys, Hope every ones training is going good!

Well after a long hard think, i've withdrawn my application into the RM untill i finish uni (which i start in September)

But my questions is, and mainly for anybody that is/or has been uni; Is it realistic to say that i can keep my fitness up, and/or maybe improve it even more whilst i'm at uni?

Many thanks for your time guys!

Chris :)

Dont bother, drink, drugs, gambling, violence and unprotected sex are more important. Start training again after you finish in my opinion.

You dont want to waste some of your best years of your life running do you?

Join the RMR while at uni. Best of both worlds if you ask me.

while your in uni im sure there will be boxing clubs, rowing clubs and running clubs etc and this would look good on your cv aswell if your are a potential officer.

Play Rugby for your uni - you keep fit, get drunk a lot and getting girls is all the easier.

I did most of my modules b4 xmas and did the exams b4 xmas to. so that left me with two moduels to do this semester!! so i only got one 1 hour class a week, on fridays. then the rest of the time i cna go in when i want to carry out my project. so i haev plently of free time..... then again I wouldnt say that all courses will be like that. Im just lucky that im studying music and its easy and you get loads of free time.
