Study While You Workout
Record your lectures and download to your iPod so when you head to the gym or on a run, you can study while you work out. Listen to your lectures again after class while you exercise, as more oxygen is delivered to your brain you can think clearer and remember more. This is one of the best multitasking ways to find time to exercise.

Rise Earlier
First class is not until 10am so you can sleep in each day, how relaxing! But why not get up earlier so you can get your workout in for the day. If your college schedule is busy for the remainder of the day, you may not be able to get exercise in unless you rise early. So open the blinds to see the daylight, get up and get moving!
