SHORT BURSTS OF EXERCISE CAN REALLY ADD UP TO AN EFFECTIVE WORKOUT

Experts recommend 30 to 60 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. However you don't have to do it all at once. If it's more convenient for you to break up exercise into three or four sessions a day, that will be just as effective as one longer session, maybe even better. The only thing you may not like about breaking your exercise up into smaller sessions would be that those sessions will have to be more intense if you expect to see a change in your body. Three 10-minute bouts of exercise is very good, but don't expect dramatic changes in cholesterol or blood pressure from low-intensity exercise. People  don't want to hear this, but intensity is what matters. Breathing hard is a good indication that you're getting a significant metabolic benefit. But even when it comes to short bouts, check with your doctor to make sure you're ready for the intensity and then break it up into whatever routine works for you.
