As many of you know, I am on maternity leave with my baby right now, and doing almost all of my workouts on the treadmill or stationary bike. I try to run while baby is napping, but it doesn't always work out that way. On some days, he sits in the bouncy seat and watches me. Occasionally I have to take frequent breaks in order to put his pacifier back in, feed him, give him attention, etc. The breaks last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.<br><br>
What am I losing physiologically by taking frequent breaks throught a workout? Is it still worth it to exercise for an hour (not including breaks) than to exercise more vigorously without breaks for 30 minutes?<br><br>
I will confess that my main goal right now is to lose weight/improve my figure. I'll be more concerned about strength, endurance and speed later on in the year.<br><br>
Thanks!
