Multiple sessions per day??
Hi there! Long story short about my bike, it's an indoor urevo with a wahoo cadence tracker. I got it a few years ago to help with mobility after a fall. Google hasn't been very helpful, so I thought I'd ask here. After discovering I have issues with the foot on the leg I injured, I'm looking for something lower impact than walking to help me stay active but I can't fit long sessions on my bike into my day. Instead of doing, let's say, a 60 minute session all at once, can I do like... 4 20 minute sessions spaced out through the day instead?

There is certainly benefit from longer exercise sessions, but 20 minutes at a time should be fine.

For most people it's just more convenient to do a single session per day. Single prep and warm-up, followed by a shower at the end. My indoor workouts are usually pretty sweaty, so I wouldn't want to be going through that routine 3 or 4 times per day.

I would love to have the type of schedule that permits that. But I can't get away from my kids for long enough. I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet, trial and error, but in the meantime, I don't plan on doing anything intense. Just enough to keep my joints moving until my foot issue is resolved. Once I can go back to walking for longer periods of time, I will be doing that.
