I'm a 19 year old student at the University of Arizona who just finished my freshman year for my computer engineering degree. Sounds pretty nerdy, right? The catch is that I'm gay. Now I'm trying to balance a difficult degree with the kind of fitness and looks that I want. As I learn about fitness though maybe I can help others. I've got pretty good grades at least, so I can give advice on that.

If I do 5-10 minute exercises throughout the day instead of 1-50 minute exercise, will it have the same effect, because I am still burning the same ammount of calories right? assuming I do a 10 minute workout at 170 calories burned.
Thank you (link)
I can't answer you for sure, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to be nearly as effective as a 50 minute exercise. The point of exercise is to tire out your body so that it must become more healthy in order to keep up with the stress you put on it. You need to send a message to your body that says it needs to cut weight or that your heart and lungs need to be stronger. You do this by exercising beyond what's easy for you.

Thank you very much for that.
