Questions???

[KellySmith]

I know it is recommended to do at 30 minutes of exercise each day. I am wondering is it okay if I break up my walking into 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at lunch? If I can walk longer I will, but I am so busy I think it will be easier to break it up and fit it in every day this way.

Thanks for any advice!

It is a great way to keep your metabolism going. But a brisk walk of 30 minutes each time when you can find the time is even better.

I actually would prefer to split my one-hour treadmill walk into two parts ... one early a.m., one before dinner ... but the treadmill is at the gym and so that's that I've read that it all adds up, whether you do it in increments or all at once. Guess whatever is most convenient for you is what's best!

I agree. Studies have shown that you can split it up and get the same benefits. Make sure you walk fast enough to increase your heart rate somewhat when you do it.

When I walk, I usually walk about between 3.2 & 3.8 mph. Also, I usually walk 30 - 40 minutes, but I have found that with my busy schedule, it is easier for me to break it up through out the day in 15 to 20 minute sessions...totalling 1 hour all together. One more thing, when I spread it out through the course of the day like that...I do it more consistent everyday.

Thanks for the replys I have already gotten.
