Question Posted Friday May 22 2009, 3:39 am

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

I have heard that said, but I believe it works best for obese people having a harder time moving for long periods of time. The trouble with the short ten minute energy spurts is that you never really get your metabolism high enough to make an impact, unless you are overweight and need even the smallest push in your metabolism. You also can't get your adrenaline pumping in order to push yourself.

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.
