Is it the same if you do two 320 calories burning workouts to equal 640 as doing a 640 calorie burning workout straight?

    Research suggests it does not matter if you split your workouts. Burning is burning! It will make a slight difference as to whether you're burning more of today's calories or yesterday's, but your calorie burn will not change :) However you can fit it in, go for it!

    The difference is that if you do a longer workout, you'll move from cardio to fat burning. But really, it doesn't make a difference.
