Short workouts
Has anyone tried this idea of several short (10 mins) workouts instead of one longer one? did it work? did you like it?

Re: Short workouts
i do it with walking to and from work, using the stairs, that kind of thing, and it really helps on days when i can't fit in a proper workout -but i've never done it with weights or stuff like that.

Re: Short workouts
I seem to recall reading that multiple workous in a day actualy give more bang for the buck than one long one - bringing the body up to speed each time increases what you get out of it.

Re: Short workouts
I think quite a lot of pro athletes and sports people do "two-a-days", rather than one long long workout, so if the pros do it there must be some good reasons for it.

Re: Short workouts
i do a short (20 mins) walk in the mornings and then some yoga or weights at home in the evening, that works well for me.

Re: Short workouts
I think it's a good principle - might be fun to try for a while...

Re: Short workouts
i do my abs every morning and my stretching watching tv in the evening, that way my actual workouts are shorter.

Re: Short workouts
i'm going on holiday and don't want to lug a bunch of workout stuff with me - i might try it, maybe a bit first thing in the morning, some in the afternoon, a walk in the evening and so on.
