work outs...

I just got a new elliptical machine...is the calorie burn the same if I work out for 10 minutes, then take a break and come back to it, as it is if I work out for the whole time all at once?

not the same. Only keep track of when you're actually on it.

Workout is worth only if you do it for a long time without break (or very small, like 1 minute).

doing short efforts with long breaks is basically what we do everyday, so this isn't workout ^^

on an elliptical bike (or any cardio), your workout should be at least 20 minutes long ;-)

I disagree with the others. 3 10 minute sessions should be pretty equivalent to a 30 minute session.

And above all, doing something is ALWAYS better than doing nothing.

This....if you have to start small or it's the only way you can fit it in, then do it that way!

woops, my bad! I've always read that short workout were useless... Well, just forget what I said before then ^^

Thank you all for the advice! I am trying to stay on it, and am getting able to do so for longer periods at a time
