No Time For Daily Workouts Anymore
Will working out longer, but on fewer days a week, still give me the same results?

The super-long sessions could give you a false impression that you’ve lost weight if you sweat profusely. Being dehydrated can seem like pound or inch loss. Chances are, though, this is only water loss and not permanent.

Working out more often might possibly lead to more fat loss. There is one school of thought that suggests exercising more frequently revs up your body’s engine more often. If a workout is intense enough, you can create a more frequent afterburn, where you use up extra calories during the hours after the workout. So exercising frequently keeps the motor running, so to speak. In contrast, long lulls between sessions, no matter how tough they are, may put your body into sleep mode and make you more prone to conserve energy. End.

This is not the actual article I have read, but this is my point, I was able to rev up my metabolism at different times of the day keeping my metabolism working longer with small quick work-outs of 15 minutes thru-out the day. It seemed I got really addicted to keeping myself moving and the pounds seemed to melt off. I tried the longer stuff, just got sleepy, hungry, and discouraged .

I can't keep up a longer routine of 30 min.because I have chronic anemia due to hypothyroidism. So It really helps to know what works for you. I try to keep my clients munching and moving with easy tips that they never thought of before. I have worked with the obese, they do not go to gyms believe me.
