My work hours are 8:30-3:25.
The gym has group classes at 8:00-11:00 and then they pick up again at 5:30-9:00.
Should I even bother?? My thought was to go either before or after school.
You work 7 hours a day.
I don’t understand why those hours won’t work for you? What do you think most people with jobs do for gym time?
I assume you have kids, work out on your own at the end hours (530 or 10pm) or workout 530pm and get home at 630, when most working parents who work 8+ hours get home.
DP. I’m a teacher, too. I work 10-11 hours most days. My time *with students* may equal about 7 hours.
There’s a huge misconception on DCUM regarding teacher work. It isn’t the easy, breezy job people like to pretend it is.
But to answer the question: I work out at 5am before I get ready. I’m way too tired after the work day.
I am a former teacher who also worked many hours. But OP clearly stated “I work . . . “ and then listed a 7 hour day. So maybe they have a part time schedule, or work at some particularly cushy private school. Or maybe they meant those are the core hours when they have to be in the building, and they do the rest at home.
I do think there is an issue of people on DCUM not believing teachers who describe their work day, but in this case OP described a 7 hour day.
