I worked out at home w/ dumbells for over a year before I joined a gym and I can't believe how much more time it takes working out at the gym! A half hour driving each way plus the time I've had to spend familiarizing myself w/ the gym and waiting for the dumbells or machines I need... etc etc etc... you can really get a lot done in a short amount of time w/ a few dumbells.

I know my workouts are less than great when I have a lot on my mind. Keep up your diet though. Don't get so busy that you forget to eat regularly. That'll make it easier to get back in the groove after your exams. Good luck, btw. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!
