If I Am Doing Two Exercises At Once, Does That Count As 30 Minutes, Or 1 Hour
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I used to do 30 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes of internet exercises in the morning. Yesterday I tried doing the internet exercises while cycling and did fine. Does that count as 30 minutes, which is what I did, or 60 minutes, which is what I was doing before when it was separate. Just interested.

If you are doing 30 minutes - it is 30 minutes no matter how many exercises you are doing within that time. God Bless

Thank you for the answers. I was just curious, it doesn't really make much difference the time. If you look up pulmonary rehab or lung exercises in the search engine, a bunch of exercises will pop up. One I use is Donna Wilson from the lung institute. Jean. the exercises I do while cycling are arm and breathing ones, the others-standing, with weights and tai chi I can't do with cycling.

For a total of 600 calories. If you burn a total of 600 calories while doing all simultaneously the the total effect is the same as an hour . However, if you don't maintain the same intensity while doing both as what you do when done separately then the effect is less calories burned. That's what I think anyway.
