    Default Help me refind my training passion

    Lesson season is over, and my training routine is falling apart. I am supposed to drum for an hour a day, but it rarely get's there anymore. I've been drumming for a bit less than a year.

    My current daily schedule is: 1 hour of jogging, 30 minutes of reading, 1 hour of drumming.

    You might say that this is nothing to speak of, but I can only listen to my body, and I can't get myself to accept such a pack of things lying ahead of me when I return from school each day.
    I've had the schedule work for about half a year, so it's not something I'm too lazy to get started on, it's something I just can't handle. It fell apart, and it was never truly consistent.

    I was wondering if you guys knew some tricks to get drumming more attractive for me. Can I get away with any jamming if I have to keep it to the 60 minutes a day? Can drumming compensate for jogging one or more days a week? Should I split up the 60 minutes somehow?
    Any tips for making this more fun?

    Anything else about my lifestyle I can change to make this more bearable? Would a better diet help a lot?

    I don't want to make this post too complex, I'm asking for help after all, but it could be a mental problem too. I never view training as something I can ever finish. I don't really feel any improvements. Any training-mentality tips?

    I play on an electric set by the way. I was hearing some stuff on how you can use a real kit in a flat with the right noise protection. Care to elaborate?

    Thanks in advance

    Ps: If this is a double post, sorry. But I expected that something went wrong when my thread hadn't been uploaded after 2 days.
    EDIT: I see that the old thread got taken down due to links. I thought they were harmless in nature, but I guess they were copyright infringing at some meta-legal level. They were links to songs on YouTube.
