You want to homeschool so you can work out more? No wonder they don't want to let you.
Homeschooling is a huge task to take upon yourself. Most people don't get this, but in order to be homeschooled, unless your parent is a certified teacher(in which it is called Private Tutoring) you MUST take a test in all the subjects you've taken at the end of the year. If you don't pass, you can be legally forced to attend school. Your parents are supposed to be your teachers, and that takes a huge amount of time.
Take it from me, homeschooling will not help you work out and have more time. You won't get up at the same time, and you'll stay up later. You'll still spend time with friends, and because you don't have deadlines, you'll spend more time slacking, messing around.
Unless your parents are extremely committed to keeping your schedule, you won't keep it. Trust me.
Now, if you're having PROBLEMS in school that's an entirely different story. You need to be HONEST with them, not tell them this stuff about wanting to work out more. Because truth be told? That's a really immature reason to be homeschooled, and to homeschool yourself you have to be very disciplined.
How do I know?
I was homeschooled for seven years, and I taught myself for four and a half of them.
