Would it be any better if

IF I would do my excercising all at one time. I have found on my days off I will make 20 min or so here or there for exercise? Today I did 20 this morning, 25 this afternoon, and I could possibly still find time to get 20 in later this evening. It is much easier than finding an hour to block out and at my weight it seems I can do more than if I would try to do a continuous hour.

If you do it in one block, you're more likely to maintain a higher heart rate for longer, so ye it would be better. That said, what you're doing fits better with your lifestyle, and two slots are better than 10

My Doctor said to do exactly what you are doing. By doing 20 to 30 min 2 or 3 times a day, you keep your metabolism going.

I read a fitness article that stated more frequent, shorter workout routines are better.

Its all about that heartrate! above 160 for 30 mins is a good standard. But any exercise is a good thing. Just keep in mind during your short workouts you want to really get your heartrate up quickly and keep it up for the duration. :-)

Some recent studies have shown that it's actually better for your heart to do it this way, especially if you have a sedentary lifestyle. It is better for your health to do several short exercise sets throughout the day, than to do a solid hour and sit the rest of the day. For weight loss only, I doubt it makes much difference. If you move around a lot outside of exercise, then it really shouldn't matter for health either.
