Okay, if I want to walk 2 20-minute miles in a day, what's the health benefit difference between doing one mile in the morning and one in the evening vs. walking 2 miles in one 40 minute block?

Okie dokes, so the only real difference would be building up endurance I'll assume.

I was about to say the same thing, but I just read an article that said differently:

But the article doesn't say anything different or am I missing the point of the article?
