• Which one? 1 hour jog vs three 20 minute jogs

If you know the answer to this already, Skip to the bold text. Someone I know says he eats about 1800 calories every day (Of that, 100 grams is protein) and exercises three times a day (really has nothing else better to do), averaging to about 6 miles a day. He says his weight is barely going down on the scale. Now, I've been doing my exercises once a day. If I was gonna run six miles, I would do it at 7 in the morning with small breaks in between. After that, I do the rest of my day normally. I've actually used this method with successful results. [B]So my question: Would it be better to go on the treadmill once a day or three times a day given it's going to be the same distance?[/B]
For weight loss, the more intense your exercise, or the longer you exercise, the more calories you burn. It would make the most sense to run for the full hour if you're capable and since you're already exercising, but it's likely that you will lose weight either way. It really depends on how hard you're going in that 20 min. That's a mile every 10 minutes, right? The intensity level seems moderate if you're only doing 2 miles, split 3 times a day. If I were doing 20 minute runs like that I would try to run a mile under 10 minutes. Personally, I prefer 20 to 30 min anaerobic exercise like HIIT on a stationary bike. Fuck aerobic exercise, I fatigue quickly (fast twitch fibers crew)
No jogging. Only running. The fumbly slow movement in jogging hurts your joints like no other and requires little activation of the major muscle groups. You'll get a lot more out of a short RUN than a timed JOG.
Agreed. I can only jog for a little while before my shins start to hurt, can run for much longer and feel fine.
I do sprints more than I jog, I'd prefer a bike to jogging but I broke it.
Really unless you are training for a marathon/long distance running or are a professional ufc fighter/boxer long runs are quite useless. Sprints are a fantastic conditioning and health exercise for young athletes.
there's no useless. there's no right way or wrong way. Every physical function you are able to do will result in an improvement in some field if you do it. Long runs have their place as much as sprints. And no, the harder the exercise doesn't necessarily mean it's better. If you want the nitty gritty, then in the end of the day for average trainee (not trying to hit below 10% intentionally) a calorie deficit can be achieved both ways thus it hardly matters which one you choose, but rather you enjoy it or not. low intensity directly influences fat oxidation and high intensity directly influences glycogen levels.

But for all intensive purposes, the majority of activities and goals of people ages 16-mid twenties can be better fulfilled by short, high intensity cardio.
