Which is better, exercising every hour for 5 minutes or for an hour straight?



I think it's easier to get on the stationary bike for 5 min every hour (For at least 12 hours), rather than for an hour straight. It almost seems like exercising is small amounts throughout the day would be better for metabolism anyway, what do you think?

According to the latest studies it doesn't matter what you do, and long as you do something. Source(s): personal fitness guide
no, u burn calories as u sweat, and the longer u excercise, the more u sweat. ur body would cool off, and u wudnt sweat for just 5 min. so it aint a good idea. sure it's easy, but it does no good.
y not do both.... do one hour... and 5 mins per hour...
I think it's better to exercise for an hour straight versus five minutes every hour. I would rather get it done with all at once. And who has the time to be able to exercise for five minutes every hour over twelve hours?
Exercise every 5 minutes? really ? like ur working on sumthing ..and u stop to work out ? wouldnt that upset ur mental as well as physical system? my opinion is ...that the first 5 minutes of working out is called warming up for ur body. when ur body is relaxed it needs to gradually build up movement. 5 min isnt enough time to build up ur heart beat..nor will it be sufficient to release endorphins( neurotransmitters that help u feel good) ..nor will u produce sweat. i dont see any advantage of a 5 minute workout. plus the point u made about metabolism...u should "eat" in small portions for its betterment.
i wouldn't think you could get your heart rate up fast enough for the 5 minutes to be as effective. But studies suggest that it doesn't matter how you get the exercise as long as you do. Try at least 10 minute intervals.
